Inventing America: Postscript: This American Life: 4: I Am My Kids' Mom

on BBC Radio 3

With Ian Peacock.
With this catchphrase, the fearsome Dr Laura Schlesinger introduces her no-nonsense family values phone-in from Sherman Oaks, California. The ultimate schoolmarm, she shuns surf psychology and psychobabble in favour of stern, absolutist morality and plain old-fashioned nagging. Why is she now America's most listened-to female presenter? And what does this say about her listeners?
