Mark Halperin and John Heilemann – Double Down
David is joined by author Mark Halperin and John Heilemann to talk about their latest book Double Down: Game Change 2012. This book is a comprehensive and unbiased account of the 2012 Presidential election and tells the tales that each side perhaps did not want to be told. This book serves as a bit of a sequel to their book Game Change which chronicled the 2008 election in much the same way.

Jazz critic/author Stanley Crouch returns to chat with David about his new book Kansas City Lightning: The Life and Times of Young Charlie Parker. This book traces the origins of the legendary jazz saxophonist and how he went from a young man in Kansas City to Baltimore and Chicago and finally to New York City where he finally became the jazz legend we know today.
