Weekend Program Change:
Left, Right & Center Expands
If the lively debate of
Left, Right & Center wakes you on Saturday mornings, you might have to set your alarm a little earlier. The popular political analysis show is expanding to a full hour with this weekend's episode, and will begin at 6 a.m. instead of 6:30. Join host Josh Barro and partisans Katrina vanden Heuvel and Rich Lowry for civil political discussion to burst the self-contained opinion "bubbles" that are so prevalent today.

|
To document the many ways that America is changing, NPR correspondents will travel back to the communities of their childhood -- in Oregon, Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois -- to explore their hometowns as only a local can. They'll visit favorite old haunts to see what's changed and what remains the same, and look for places and things that have been torn down and replaced. Their stories will air across all NPR's newsmagazines over the rest of the summer, tentatively set to begin July 22 on
Weekend Edition Saturday.
