Maria Semple Turns Seattle Inside, Outside And Upside Down

Maria Semple has written for television for "Arrested Development," "Ellen," and "Mad About You." We spoke with her in August about her acclaimed new novel, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette?,” the story of an L.A. architect transplanted with her husband and teenage daughter amid the Subarus, private school soirees and Microsoft shuttles of Seattle's upper-middle crust.

Also this hour, we listen back to the early days of radio journalism to hear how major news events in history unfolded on radio, and we get a weekly lunch pick from food writer Sara Dickerman.
