Like it or not, cell phones have become an integral part of the urban landscape, seeping into our personal and business lives. On the one hand are those who embrace the technology and can't live with out it and on the other hand are those who get a migraine at the mere sound of a ringtone. Laura's guests are Peter Rojas, Editor-In-Chief of Engadget, co-founder of Gizmodo, and freelance contributor to a number of magazines, including Wired Magazine, the New York Times, Slate, Salon, and The Guardian. Joining Peter is Xeni Jardin, Tech Culture journalist and co-editor of BoingBoing. She is also a contributing writer for Wired Magazine and technology correspondent for NPR's Day to Day. Jardin participated in a documentary on cell phone culture released in 2004 called Celling Out, which accompanied the DVD release of the movie Cellular.

Everyone seems to agree Medicaid needs reform. But there seems to be quite a lot of disagreement over what those changes should include.

Laura's guests are Jon Greenberg, executive editor at New Hampshire Public Radio and Cindy Mann, research professor at Georgetown University's Health Policy Institute. Other guests are TBA.

Revolutionary war hero General John Stark declared "Live Free or Die" as New Hampshire's state motto in 1809, ever since then many Granite Staters have held proud to that belief, touting their libertarian views and sticking to their government-free laws. But there are those who worry that "Live Free or Die" might be a thing of the past as more stricter regulations and laws are being pushed, while others who think that maybe we've outgrown our libertarian ways. We'll look at the "Live Free or Die" motto and see how applicable it still is to our state. Laura's guests are Joe McQuaid, President and Publisher of the Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News and Guy McMillan, Editorial Page Editor of the Keene Sentinel. Stuart Wallace, New Hampshire historian and Professor of History at New Hampshire Technical Institute.
