Word of Mouth
Today on Word of Mouth, as crows and ravens have evolved in the company of humans, research shows they can recognize, and remember, human faces. Plus, the exotic animal trade is booming, but abandoned tigers are overwhelming zoos and sanctuaries. And we hear how Congress is being asked to remedy "nature deficit disorder" in kids. We’ll also hear from a reporter who spent a year inside of a big-city hospital and came away with some cautionary tales about the U.S. health care system, and get some tips on finding financial opinions on the Web.
