How was Ira's Russian?
Valerie never felt inside the jokes and stories her family would tell about growing up in the Soviet Union, until she saw this year's Oscar-winning documentary, "Mr. Nobody Against Putin." She talks to the teacher at the center of the film.
29 days after her local hospital shut down its birthing unit, Katie's home birth went wrong in rural Maine. Her doctor had to improvise fast, with no labor and delivery unit left to call. link.podtrac.com/ph7ko7bw
