Program 266a: Sojourning Further; Being Human; Turkish Nomads

A preacher, a biologist, and a granddaughter of Turkish nomads give perspectives on how people around the world are really all part of the same family whether they live in a suburban bungalow or a goat hair tent. Rick interviews Reverend Jim Wallis, "The Darwinian Tourist," and a nomadic sheep herder to discover what they've learned from their travels.
