Week 8 - Richard Fidler's interview with Ira Glass

This interview is unique in a way that Fidler interviewed another radio interviewer. The conversation can be roughly divided into the following three sections. Part 1 1.

Were there any ethical consideration/restrictions that potentially hindered her interaction with the children? If so, how did she cope with them?
