Part One: We speak with Marshall Allen from ProPublica about his piece, “Health Insurers Are Vacuuming Up Details About You – and it Could Raise Your Rates.” Data mining companies are using social media to gather information about all of us, and selling it to insurance companies. The practice, the ramifications – and what Marshall discovered when trying to access his own data – this is an important and compelling story. (this interview was originally broadcast on July 27.)
Part Two: Steve Taylor has been a journalist, an editor, a farmer, and served as the NH Commissioner of Agriculture for 25 years. Recently Steve made the decision to shut down the dairy operation at his farm. He joins us to talk about what is happening with small dairy farms, and what the future may hold.
