That Fresh Radio Piece

March 6th

* Fresh Piece
o War and Life in Iraq
+ We broadcast the National Radio Project's "War and Life in Iraq" documentary. This is the synopsis: Car bombings, roadside bombs, new governments and the latest body counts of dead U.S. soldiers... there's no shortage of news coverage of Iraq these days. Yet, it's very difficult to get a clear picture of daily life for the 25 million people who call Iraq home. Shortly after the fall of Saddam Hussein, Making Contact's Aaron Glantz traveled to Iraq as an un-embedded journalist for Pacifica Radio. He criss-crossed the country interviewing regular Iraqis and returned to write a book called "How America Lost Iraq." Now, back in the U.S., he continues to report on the conflict in collaboration with Iraqi journalist Salam Talib. Together, they offer a unique window into life in wartime.
