Segment 1:
Trading in ancient Native American artifacts can be lucrative business, but it’s illegal and can land you in a lot of hot water with the feds, as dozens of Utah residents have found in recent years. Utah author Michael Norman uses trafficking in Anasazi antiquities as a backdrop for his new novel, and on Monday, Norman joins us to talk about looting and prosecution in the antiquities trade.

Segment 2:
In 1980, Victor DeNoble was an employee of tobacco company Phillip Morris. They hired him to develop a safer cigarette, but instead he blew the whistle on an industry that produced harmful products.

On Monday, we’ll talk about the harmful effects of tobacco and how to quit.
