Tonight on Extension 720: Milt Rosenberg is taking the evening off, and the previously scheduled "Shakespeare's Comedies" program has been moved to February. In its stead, please enjoy these recently recorded programs. During the first hour, Milt talks with noted writer ADAM HOCHSCHILD about his new book Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves. The second hour features Milt's interview with anti-death penalty activist SISTER HELEN PREJEAN, whose latest book is The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions.

More information on this and other programs is available at our monthly program guide. You can listen to the show from 9 to 11 p.m. central time here.
