Primary preview: John Micek, Chris Borick & Jim O'Toole
May 14
Hour 1
Just days before Tuesday's primary election, we take stock of the races with the biggest stakes for Pennsylvania. In some polls, Congressman Joe Sestak has overtaken longtime incumbent Senator Arlen Specter in the fierce contest for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, while other polls show a dead heat. Will the former Navy admiral sail into victory on Tuesday? Meanwhile, the frontrunners in both party primaries for gubernatorial nominations have distanced themselves from the pack in opinion polls, with Attorney General Tom Corbett expected to earn the GOP bid to face Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato, who is expected to earn the most Democratic votes. Joining guest host TRACEY MATISAK to talk about these races and more are JOHN L. MICEK, the (Allentown) Morning Call’s state political reporter and CHRISTOPHER BORICK, pollster and political science professor at Muhlenberg College. Then we'll call out to JAMES O’TOOLE, political editor for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, about how these races seem from a Western Pennsylvania perspective.

A conversation with psychologist Dan Gottlieb
May 14
Hour 2
Psychologist DAN GOTTLIEB has something in common with his grandson, Sam, other than their blood connection. They are both different. Gottlieb is a quadriplegic and Sam is autistic. Life is challenging for both of them - in different and similar ways. Gottlieb, host of WHYY's "Voices in the Family," has a new book, a follow-up to his previous book, "Letters to Sam." It's called "The Wisdom of Sam" and in it he shares some of the life lessons he has learned from his young grandson.
