Family Ties
A mother tells her son why she鈥檚 choosing not to vote this year.
Does voting make a difference? We speak to two immigrants to the US. One is planning to vote this year. The other is not. They both explain why.
Also, a writer with something to reveal about her father; a Liberian refugee who feels safer in Liberia than in the US, and a visit to an American summer camp where the campers speak Russian. Plus, a chestnut pastry recipe so good it changed one woman鈥檚 life.
With special guest, Marjolijn deJager, host Marco Werman鈥檚 mum.
