Brian Finkelstein (pictured), a counselor at a suicide hotline, intervenes with a caller. Peter Story and his wife take an online wedding contest very seriously. Diane Kastiel tries to resist comparing herself to her very fortunate sister. And EPA administrator Lisa Jackson tells how the disaster in New Orleans shaped her as a civil servant. Hosted by Jenifer Hixson.

Learn more or listen again to this week's episode, which originally aired on April 14, 2013.
