"The Jesus Guy"

By Liz Bulkley on Friday, September 21, 2007.

For over 12 years now, a man dressed up as Jesus has wandered around the country barefoot, spreading the word of the Gospels. He only answers to "What's Your Name", and he owns nothing besides the robes he wears, the Bible he carries, a rosary and a toothbrush. Tonight on the Front Porch, we'll meet a New Hampshire filmmaker who spent years documenting this man and the people he's encountered. Some believe he's a blessing from God, others think he's just plain crazy.

Our guests are:

Sean Tracey, director and producer of the new documentary The Jesus Guy and Creative Director of Sean Tracey Associates, an Advertising Firm in Portsmouth.

Fred Mogul, reporter for public radio station WNYC in New York. Fred wrote an article about What's Your Name for Time magazine in 2000. You can read his article here.

Banking on the Future

By NHPR Staff on Friday, September 21, 2007.

The Exchange takes a break today to bring you this special from America Abroad. World Bank Group has spent more than $400 billion addressing global development issues ranging from poverty to the environment. But lately, if the public has heard anything about the World Bank at all, it was from headlines over the controversy surrounding former president Paul Wolfowitz. Despite the recent surge of attention, how many of us really know what the World Bank does? This special looks at the role of the world's largest development institution and the challenges it faces in lifting the third world out of poverty, explores the origins of the World Bank, the lessons learned over the past 60 years, and how those lessons drive its mission today, talks to key decision-makers about the World Bank's role in Latin America after the debt crisis of the 1980s and visits World Bank projects in Tanzania and Laos to take a closer look at its work on the ground. More information about this special is available at the America Abroad website.

Exeter Dems and Iraq: A Surprising Mix of Opinions

By Jon Greenberg on Thursday, September 20, 2007.

Money to pay for the Iraq War is back on the agenda. Last spring, Congress appropriated funds through September and now the senate will take up the question of how much to spend and on what terms.

Pressure is on the Democrats to go toe to toe with the president and impose a timeline for withdrawal.

In our focus town of Exeter we found some Democrats who think their party should not back down, but among the party base, there is more ambivalence than you might expect.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Jon Greenberg has more.
