Wednesday on Word of Mouth, we’re stepping away from the live microphone to broadcast some of our favorite interviews from the past few months. Here’s a list of the segments in today’s show. Click on the links to listen to them and to find more information:
Memory, Poverty, and the Brain - What happens when a word is on the tip of your tongue, and how poverty affects brain development
Heavy Metal in Baghdad - As far as anyone can tell, Acrassicauda is Iraq's only heavy metal band, and its survival is the subject of a documentary that’s won-over the festival circuit
Bad News for Bananas - A blight called Panama Disease is wiping out plantations across the globe, and some experts fear the end could be nigh for the world’s ideal fruit
