Today on Word of Mouth, we’ll hear about life in the war-ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo… where millions of lives have been lost, ecosystems are collapsing, and minerals are being plundered. We’ll also hear a profile of a lone miner, working deep inside a mountain, never far from blazing guns. Plus, from dust to dust - a new method for green burial emerges in Sweden. And Oakland, California looks to tax medical marijuana.
