    On the Labor Day Special from CBS News Radio, host Gil Gross examines with former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty how the requirement for college degrees is excluding the majority of the work force from being even able to apply for jobs. Rometty pioneered an effort to eliminate the need for college degrees from one half of all jobs at IBM, down from 95% when she started her tenure. Rometty found that a skills-based emphasis was a better predictor of job success for many positions compared to a college degree. We will also hear about surprising and amusing first jobs of some of our favorite celebrities, from Bob Newhart to Denzel Washington. Then, David Ewalt, Editor-in -Chief of Scientific American, examines the threat to actors and studios posed by Artificial Intelligence.

    On the Independence Day Special from CBS News Radio, host Gil Gross and author Stephen Brumwell look at the birth of guerilla warfare, or as military scholars call it “asymmetric warfare.” Invented by Robert Rogers, an American colonist who led Rogers’ Rangers against the French Army in North America, his tactics are still being taught in military academies to this day. Rogers, whom his indigenous opponents called “the White Devil,” became the most famous soldier in North America–eclipsing even George Washington–but fell from grace during the Revolutionary War. And what is the 4th of July without fireworks? John Withington shares the fascinating story of the origins of fireworks and how they continue to amaze us to this day. Then, we will learn about Washington's Final Battle with author Robert Watson about our first President’s effort to establish the new nation's capital and how that almost tore the country apart.
