Grammy winning Cajun masters BeauSoleil are back in eTown for this repeat airing. Bob Dylan once said this about their sound, “That’s my kind of music!”. . . and it’s sure ours in eTown, too! Acclaimed indie-pop singer/songwriter Ben Kweller also joins us, with Nick & Helen and the eTones lending him musical and vocal support. Nick also interviews Nicolette Hahn Niman, noted environmental activist, attorney, and cattle rancher and author of Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms. This is another in a rich tradition of eTown broadcasts featuring stellar music, compelling conversation, and the presentation of the E-Chievement Award (which this week goes to a grassroots hero from a small town in New York). Tune in!
