Our Towns: A New Book by Deborah & James Fallows

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/550194/our-towns-by-james-fallows-and-deborah-fallows/9781101871843/

This is a rebroadcast of an earlier show (July 16); no calls will be taken.

Jim and Deb Fallows spent 5 years travelling in the small propeller plane to small towns across America, including Eastport, Maine.  In their new book, they share stories of civic and economic reinvention taking place in parts of the country we often don’t hear much about.
