Movie Trailers...With Commentary?

Necessary? Not at all. Nerdy fun? You bet! Check out the trailer for Psycho (one of my favorites), and afterwards, watch it again with commentary by John Landis! But don't stop there - not with tons of others to choose from!

All Things Considered: Obama's Future, Free of an American Past?

Commentator Steven Barnes argues that one of the reasons Sen. Barack Obama could be such an appealing candidate is that he doesn't carry the cultural baggage of slavery, since his father was an immigrant to the United States. It's an interesting point that hadn't occurred to me - listen to Mr. Barnes' piece here. Listen, that is, if your machine supports the QuickTime or RealPlayer formats. I heard it on the radio, but can't get the online version to play. I hope it works for you!
