Taya Jae welcomes novelist Carolyn Meyers (Diary of a Waitress: the Not-So-Glamorous Life of a Harvey Girl) to talk about the Harvey Girls, one of the first all-female American work forces. This migration of women workers opened up the American West and the workplace to women. 

Carol Boss interviews 3-time Emmy Award winning director, Terry Spencer Hesser, about her new film, Love is a Verb. This documentary is an examination of the social movement of Sufi inspired Sunni Muslims that began in Turkey in the 1960's and now reaches across the globe.
