Author Paul Loeb

By Andy Driscoll, Truth to Tell on KFAI
April 11, 2010

Author PAUL ROGAT LOEB has revised his acclaimed 1999 volume on the roles we can all play in making our communities serve us and our neighbors better - from the nagging neighborhood issue right up through global climate change. The pride and satisfaction of civic engagement - even in these most trying times - is that intangible sense of being in and of the world and living a meaningful life - the very Soul of a Citizen. (Podcast below)

TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL talks at length with Paul Loeb about the way this works and ways it might not, admitting that this edition reflects a darker mood across the country even as he encourages continued involvement in civic life.
