Radio Smart Talk for Friday, March 18:

National History Day is a competition which tests students' knowledge of history. It's closer to a traditional science fair than a spelling bee - students are given time to devise ways to highlight the historic topics they address.

We'll talk with two of the people coordinating the competition at the state and regional levels, and with a teacher involved in it, as well.

Then, we'll listen to a conversation Scott LaMar conducted recently with Jack Rakove, author of the book   Revolutionaries, which profiles our Founding Fathers.
