Today on Word of Mouth, unemployment checks don’t grow on trees, or do they? We’ll find out why the russian government is handing out lumber to its unemployed. And a young Latino drug dealer converts to Islam. We’ll hear about his career as a hip-hop artist, his troubles with the FBI, and the little trials in the life of a devoted father. Plus, what’s a summer road trip without a rest stop? The ubiquitous travel plaza makes regional roadside rest areas more expensive than popular. A nostalgic writer hits the road to visit rest stops before states shut them down. And film reviewer Amy Diaz stops by to tell us what to watch and what to skip in the newest crop of summer movies.
