By Madeleine Brand • • 52m ListenPresident Obama travels to Mexico today to meet with his Mexican and Canadian counterparts. Mexico is not just the country that is depicted in mainstream U.S. news reports. We discuss the realities and myths of modern Mexico. Plus, we talk to Benjamin Millepied, the founder of the L.A. dance project. We also visit a brand new boarding school in downtown L.A., we learn about the brain-science behind athletics, and we get the latest on a Catholic Church sex abuse settlement.
