Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin with the political upheaval in Greece where parties on the far left and far right appear to benefiting from the distress caused by austerity while offering rhetorical solutions to a growing economic crisis. A former U.S. diplomat living in Greece, John Brady Kiesling joins us to discuss the angry mood in Greece where many voters want to tear up the austerity deals with the EU and take their chances on defaulting, bringing back the drachma and diving into a depression.
Part 2	Then we speak with a former White House economic advisor Jared Bernstein who was the Vice President Biden’s Chief Economist. We discuss what the White House can do to improve the economy in the face of determined Republican opposition to any stimulus, even though there is growing evidence that austerity policies are stifling growth and recovery in Europe.
Part 3	Then finally we speak with Tanya Luhrmann, an anthropologist who has done extensive field work with religious evangelicals in the United States. Her latest book is “When God Talks Back: Understanding the American Evangelical Relationship With God” and she has an article in Monday’s New York Times “Do as I Do, Not as I Say”.
