The Written Word and the Spoken Word

We talk with Newspaper Columnist Joyce Marcel from Brattleboro, Vermont about what it's like to be an outspoken critic in a very small town. Her book is A Thousand Words or Less: Favorite Columns 1996 - 2005.

We'll also hear about an unsual oral history project undertaken by the Krempels Brain Injury Foundation. Members of the organization are recording the stories of people who've suffered from brain injury, and they're posting the audio interviews to the internet. We'll hear some of the stories of these folks in their own words, and Program Director Marquis Walsh will join us to talk about the project.
