Follow the Money

A new online tool tracks the millions of dollars spent by foreign lobbyists in the US.

We hear about a new online tool that helps track the millions of dollars spent by foreign lobbyists in Washington. Also in the show, the California community that Toyota built and what might become of it when the car company pulls out. A new photo exhibit in Moscow offers an intimate portrait of New Orleans. What makes Americana so big in Japan? The tale of an American man who came to embrace his Ukrainian roots through his love of music. And a music student from Argentina who’d been studying in Boston nails Stairway to Heaven on graduation day.
