Dartmouth has entered the realm of Podcasting. A new series of audio programs called "Views from the Green" offers listeners a chance to hear Dartmouth voices on a variety of topics. Two podcasts are currently available:

• A new president for Bolivia, with John Carey, professor of government

An election on Sunday, December 18, resulted in a new president for Bolivia. In this interview, Carey talks about the political climate in Bolivia, the issues President-elect Evo Morales will face, and the implications for Latin America and for the U.S.

• Social Security reform plan, with Andrew Samwick professor of economics and director of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center

Samwick recently collaborated with two colleagues on a new report outlining a plan for Social Security reform. As they represent points along the political spectrum, they call it the Nonpartisan Social Security Reform Plan. In this interview, Samwick talks about the reasons for the plan, outlines the basic elements of the plan, and explains how the plan will be used.
