Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Free to Be You and Me If you were a child in the 1970's, you probably remember the TV special Free to Be You and Me that aired 40 years ago this month. The show was one part of a multi-media project that also included a record and a book . Free to Be was the brainchild of actress Marlo Thomas, and its goal was to encourage kids to defy gender stereotypes, which was fairly radical for 1972.

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.
