Your weekend read comes with listens

Clayton Collins
Director of Editorial Innovation

Welcome to your Saturday Daily.

We offer you a suite of weekend reads, including an appreciation of Robert Redford and his extraordinary catalog. However much you鈥檝e read about the late indie-film giant this week, Peter Rainer鈥檚 perspective on the Sundance Kid merits a look.

We also offer some listens. Education writer Ira Porter was just in Tokyo on a fellowship, reporting on Black male students who study abroad. Ira took his family and recorded their impressions of the city. In his story you鈥檒l find Ira鈥檚 audio postcard.

Our 鈥淲hy We Wrote This鈥 podcast returns after a summer break. Recall that rich report by Mark Sappenfield from Finland? (Finnish snipers on skis were a potent presence on the Russian border in World War II. Their spiritual heirs are weekend warriors who mount a collaborative, grassroots version.) Mark joins me on mic to explain that story鈥檚 genesis and to riff about Monitor journalism.


News, you ask? We have that, too. Read on. And find our latest stories and briefs, as always, on our homepage.
