Green Need "Talk of the Nation" turned into mp3

Got mentioned on NPR's Talk of the Nation (a national radio program in the U.S.) on Thursday.

Could someone turn that segment into an mp3 for me? That would be a big help. Thanks!

ROBERTS: Well, which also brings up the book �What's the Worst That Can Happen?� by Greg Craven, which is on your list, which is sort of a let's stop fighting about who's right or wrong and just figure out how to understand the argument itself.

HARRIS: Yeah. Now, I actually have - I've just thumbed through this. I understand you have read it. I have not actually read it. But it seemed like a wonderful concept, which was - it's a high school science teacher who just basically said, you know, laid out how to think about an issue. And he spends a lot time just going through how to sort of sort things out, how to weigh plusses and minuses, how to figure out who - you know, how to weigh one expert's view versus another, and so on. And I think it's a really clever idea.

It got endorsed by a lot of high-powered people who seem to really like it, and - I don't know what your experience was with it, but I thought what a nice concept not to - I mean, obviously in the end, he says climate change is serious. We need to do something about it. But he doesn't, you know, but he doesn't to pretend to be a scientific expert. He just sort of says here's how, you know, your typical science teacher - not an expert in this field, just sort of thinks through these things. And I thought that was a really cool concept for a book.

ROBERTS: Yeah. You know, he had a video that was - it's been viewed by, like, seven million people that was very common-sensical. And I think it just struck a cord with a lot of people who saw it that there's so much rhetoric, some of it very hard to understand in this debate, and here's a guy who just seems to make some sense. And that's the tone he takes in the book, too. I'm a fan of that one.
"Here's a guy who seems to make some sense" - that about sums it up for me, too
