The “glass ceiling” has been shattered, but are women getting their fair share?

Half of all workers in the U.S. today are women, and for the first time a woman is the primary or co-breadwinner in two-thirds of American families.  In spite of their numbers and influence, women still aren’t earning on the same level as men (women earn 77 cents on the dollar, compared with wages earned by men) and just 15 Fortune 500 companies were headed by women last year.  Will companies and the government step into the breach to make sure women are getting their fair share in the workplace?

 

Guest:

Ann O’Leary, executive director of the Berkeley Center for Health, Economic & Family Security at the UC Berkeley School of Law; senior fellow at the Center for American Progress; and co-author of “The Shriver Report”

Orhan Pamuk

He’s a Nobel Prize winner in literature; the author most recently of The Museum of Innocence; and a Turk who acknowledges what many call the American Genocide—the killing of 30,000 Kurds and 1 million Armenians from 1915-1923. Orhan Pamuk faced a criminal trial in his homeland for those remarks and he talks with Patt about the divides and dialogues he writes about between East and West.

 

Guest:

Orhan Pamuk, Nobel-prize winning author

Ask the new Chief:  Charlie Beck takes over LAPD

He’s not officially the chief until the city council says so, but Charlie Beck is the mayor’s choice to be the next police chief of the city of Los Angeles. He sits down with Patt to talk about how he’ll lead—similarly to Bratton—with a bottom-up approach.  What Bratton-era policies will be continued and how will he leave his own legacy on the LAPD?

 

Guests:

Charlie Beck, incoming Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department

National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week
Animal shelters were over burdened before the economic downturn and as the recession rages on many are being forced to forsake the family pet.  In L.A. City & County, animal shelters have moved to the bottom of the priority list for already scarce funding.  In honor of National Animal Shelter Appreciation week we discuss how to help pets survive the recession.

 

Guests:

Karin Winegar (like vinegar), author of “SAVED: Rescued Animals and the Lives They Transform”; she is also an award winning writer for the New York Times and WSJ
