Award-winning journalist Scott Pelley joins Trey Elling & Brad Kellner to discuss details from his book, TRUTH WORTH TELLING: A REPORTER'S SEARCH FOR MEANING IN THE STORIES OF OUR TIME. This includes why he had to tell a lie to get into the business of truth-telling as a teenager in Lubbock, what the sport of buzkashi is and how it represents the people of Afghanistan, whether there is a solution to the broken two-party system that has failed the US, advice to young journalists, and more.
