This week on Americana, Matt Frei looks at how America treats its friends, and its enemies. Jonah Goldberg, editor-at-large of the National Review, joins Matt to talk about President Obama's relationships with the international community. We also hear from Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi, author of the new book, "Between Two Worlds: My Life and Captivity in Iran." Saberi became a cause celebre in 2009 when Iranian authorities detained her for 100 days and accused her of spying for the US. We look at the trend of the multi-generational homestead, now making a comeback in the suburbs for economic reasons. Matt visits with one family in which four generations share the same space. It's not just The Waltons anymore. And, who loves their intellectuals more, Democrats or Republicans? Email: [email protected] Twitter: @bbcamericana.
