We’re joined today by Jayson Lusk, a professor of agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University and author of the new book The Food Police: A Well-Fed Manifesto About the Politics of Your Plate.

In his book, Lusk looks at the emerging industry of “experts” that are hell-bent on telling you what to eat and when to eat it. Some of the topics we cover include the banning of certain types of food, eating organic, and genetically modified-foods. Enjoy!

Since Ann-Marie Slaughter’s much debated article in The Atlantic last year, it’s been a debate raging across all corners of the Internet. What’s the role of women in today’s society? Can they have both the high-powered career and the pleasant family life? We talk about it with Kay Hymowitz, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of an excellent article on the topic in the latest edition of Foreign Policy magazine.

We talked in 2013 with Bruce Thornton, research fellow at the Hoover Institution and expert on all things in the Middle East. Up for discussion: the civil war in Syria, the always simmering tension with Iran, and what to expect from the then-current administration on foreign policy over the next few years.

Jim Frederick, author of “Special Ops” and Executive Editor of Time magazine discusses special ops missions, such as the killing by U.S. forces of Osama Bin Laden.

Milt is joined by Lourdes Duarte, Dick Kay and Mike Flannery as they share their best and worst experiences as news reporters.
