Against The Odds ~ "Breaking the Bonds of Tradition
Program two focuses on remarkable people in India who said "no" to prejudice and low expectations. It profiles a leader of the Dalit (earlier called "untouchables") who provides scores of young people from poor villages with their first chance at receiving an education with dignity.
Host Ellis Cose also visits with a group of women widowed by the Gujarat anti-Muslim riots of 2002. Instead of giving in to despair, these woman established a cloth manufacturing collective that provides them with a living. Next the program shares the stories of women in another poor village. Through their various enterprises — including one woman who built a road! — they are overcoming centuries of male chauvinism en route to re-creating their own lives and a better future for their children.

Sun, June 28, 2009 – 11:00am-Noon Radio Lab: Yellow Fluff, Rocket Lizards & Other Curious Encounters
An exacting mistress is science. After long months, years, decades of meticulous work, you think you've taken a step forward only to find yourself two steps back. But the promise of an answer is seductive. In this episode of Radio Lab, scientists talk about their passionate and sometimes fraught relationships with science. Theoretical physicist and author Alan Lightman takes us into the consuming world of pursuit and inquiry, and geneticist Jerry Coyne describes the sense of wonder he felt when faced with his own personal parasite. We go on location to the Gakkel Ridge with an Arctic research expedition in search of three-eyed tube worms, only to find ourselves holding nothing but yellow fluff.
