7.19.14 – The Whole Repackaging Show

Ahead of the horse race coverage of midterm elections, we have two conversations about politics and how campaigning is changing. Reporter and author Jonathan Alter talks about where political coverage is today. Then, the Digital Director of Obama's 2012 campaign, Teddy Goff, tells us how much more targeted campaigns will be in the years ahead. Then, we've all heard the phrase “Lean In” from Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook. Writer Maria Konnikova tells us why leaning out a bit might be helpful. We take a visit to the lab of Dr. David Edwards, who is working on creating foods with edible wrapping. Plus, the historic innovation that started out as futuristic wallpaper and is probably laying around your house right now.
