    Home, Fast Food and Screamologists

    This week, it's Radio Lab's Summer Show. This summer has already been hot enough to make us scream, so this week Radio Lab gives you your chance.

Scream!
For several years, a team of Australian screamologists have been studying the nature of the scream. Hear their findings - and then call the WNYC Scream Line to add your voice to the experiment. (212) 669 2724

Home
Producer Helen Borten explores the idea of "home" in two different locations: Detention facilities in Colorado, where mentally ill juveniles are kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. Then, an Appalcian hollow, where a battle over the future of mountaintop removal mining threatens the soul of the community.

McDonalds New Farm, Fast Food and Human Rights
A one hour program from American Radio Works: McDonalds New Farm, Fast Food and Human Rights. Tell me you don't feel a stir when you're on a road trip and you round a long bend in the highway to see that yellow "M" looming on the horizon. Recent policy changes towards chickens at the McDonalds corporations may make it easier for you to justify pulling over.
