What's so good about the filibuster anyway?

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Hour 1
With the election of Scott Brown as U.S. senator from Massachusetts, Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority. There’s a lot of debate at the moment about the filibuster – is it a useful tool or a political tactic to stall legislation? We’ll devote this hour of "Radio Times" to a conversation about the history and the use (and perhaps over-use) of the filibuster. Our guests are congressional scholar SARAH BINDER and DON RITCHIE, historian of the U.S. senate.

Racing While Black

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Hour 2
This hour we talk to the father and son owners of Miller Racing Group, about what it is like to be an African American team in a still predominately white sport. Leonard W. Miller was the first black auto racing team owner to enter the Indy 500 over thirty years ago. His son Leonard T. Miller has written a book about their experiences breaking through the color barrier of NASCAR called "Racing While Black: How an African-American Stock Car Team Made its Mark on NASCAR."
