From the K-P-F-K studios in Southern California,

it's the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting great to jump.

Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrovan, along with my co-host David Feldman. Hello David. How are you?

Good morning, everybody. And the man of the hour, Ralph Nader.

Hello, Ralph, how are you?

Hello, we're going to have a real trip around the country with Jim Falos.

We are.

I actually had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Fallows when I was directing the documentary

an unreasonable man. It may be something I remember very, very vividly and we do have award-winning journalist James Fallows.

As a young aspiring writer, worked for Ralph in the early 70s and several of the projects

coming out of the Halcyon days, that early consumer movement.

And we talked about those days in the movie,

and Mr. Fallows went on to become a speech writer

for President Jimmy Carter,

and has since carved out a distinguished career

as an investigative journalist.

He has a new book out written with his wife,

Deborah Fallows, entitled Our Towns,

A 100,000 Mile Journey into the Heart of America.

And from what I understand, they came back with some good news.
