On today’s Food for Thought, host Julia Monczunski interviews Jon Lauck about his new book Daschle vs. Thune: Anatomy of a High-Plains Senate Race. A writer, historian, and Republican political advisor, Jon wrote a blog during the 2004 election year and worked on John Thune’s political campaign. We’ll hear his analysis of that race, and why he thinks it’s important to write contemporary history. Later in the hour we’ll visit with David Volk, Mark Meierhenry and Jason Folkerts about their children’s book The Mystery of the Round Rocks. We’re broadcasting live from Barnes and Noble in Sioux Falls.
