Here’s this week’s episode of WPRB News and Culture. Listen below!

- Here is the ABC interview in which President Obama expresses his support for same-sex marriage.

- Here is Andrew Sullivan’s Newsweek article on Barack Obama: The First Gay President.

- Here’s an article by Mona Eltahawy that appeared in Foreign Policy magazine. It’s
called “Why Do They Hate Us?” and it describes her account of the war on women in
the Middle East.

- Here’s an interesting take on Mitt Romney’s “unnecessary speech” at Liberty University. It explores the link between
Romney’s campaign and his evangelical support base.

- Is Barack Obama appealing to a new demographic base? Veterans have typically been a source of support for Republican candidates, but it seems that the tables are turning.

Leave us your comments and questions at any time. We love to hear from you!
