Diane Rehm has hosted a show on WAMU in Washington, D.C. since 1979. In Finding My Voice, this nationally acclaimed public radio personality shares the fascinating story of her life.

America’s 911 system is supposed to be for emergencies only.

Am I going to die?”, “I want an officer to come out and take care of a low-flying aircraft.”,“When does the Burger King open?”

Story
In Fooling with the Amish, Dirk Eitzen examines the fakery in Amish Mafia and how actual viewers of the show responded to it to discover answers to two questions that have long puzzled media scholars: What is it about the so-called reality of reality shows that appeals to and gratifies viewers? How and why are people taken in by falsehoods in the media? Eitzen's ultimate answer to these questions is that, in taking liberties with facts, Amish Mafia works very much like gossip.
