A weekly talk show about people in the Mon Valley area of Pittsburgh

Topic: Small-town news and The Big Book of American Political Quotations

Guest: Kevin G. Barkes

How Topic Discussed: Barely out of high school, Kevin G. Barkes became the youngest city editor of any newspaper in Pennsylvania, the Homestead, Pa., Daily Messenger. How did that experience help him later in life --- and what did he learn from it? When did he make the shift from journalism to computer software, and why? What are some of his favorite epigrams from his latest book, The Big Book of American Political Quotations?
