It's looking to be a tough summer for the White House. Presenter Adam Brookes talks to Jared Bernstein, who recently resigned as economic advisor to Vice President Joe Biden, about what hope remains for the Obama Administration's financial plans for the country. Lean & Hungry Theater, a Washington D.C. drama company is about to kick off a new production of A Midsummer Nights Dream- a radio version complete with Midwestern accents and flashy sound effects. Americana listens in. And what summer would be complete without the beach? Hawaiian musician Jake Shimabukuro demonstrates his famous ukulele mastery from the sandy Pacific island's shores.
