Press Play with Madeleine Brand

Reporting on Ebola in Sierra Leone NPR’s Anders Kelto recently returned from a two week reporting trip to Sierra Leone, one of three countries hardest hit by the Ebola epidemic. While we here at home are worried about a possible Ebola outbreak even though only one person has died here, Kelto experienced first hand what it’s like for West Africans dealing with the reality of the disease in their daily lives… a reality that has claimed the lives of close to 4-thousand people. Photo credit: Peter Breslow/NPR Kelto having his temperature taken at a police checkpoint in Sierra Leone. The police have roadblocks all over the country, and force people to get out, have their temperature taken, and wash their hands in chlorine solution. His temperature was a cool 97.5 degrees.

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."

Press Play with Madeleine Brand

How do Trump supporters feel about the Paris Accord? Globally and around the U.S., there are strong opinions whether or not the Paris Climate Accord is a good idea. The American exit is either a horrifying abdication of American leadership or a forceful and long overdue statement about U.S. sovereignty.

Press Play with Madeleine Brand

Why is Trump so behind on filling staff jobs, establishing concrete policies? Yesterday Donald Trump signed a “decision memo” to revamp the air traffic control system. But there was little legislative detail in the plan. There’s not much to other splashy announcements from the White House, including tax cuts and the arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.
