Hi, it is Jayne Ann Bugda from the Producers Pod!
Busy weekend- the big game! And Punxsutawney Phil will make an appearance-
Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed.
He turned over slowly and then he said,
“I wonder if spring is on the way,
I’ll go and check the weather today…”
~Author Unknown, “Groundhog Day” (From the Quote Garden)

COVER STORY: Campaign
2020: Democratic voters in Iowa decide on the party’s direction
As Iowa Democrats head to the state’s caucuses tomorrow, polls show a majority
of Democrats have one thing on their minds: defeating President Trump in
November. But just how to do that – succeed at defeating the incumbent
Republican – is proving divisive. Will Iowans back a candidate who promises
fundamental change – a progressive figure like Bernie Sanders of Elizabeth
Warren – or one who will bring politics “back to normal” – a moderate
such Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg or Amy Klobuchar? Nicholas Thompson, the
editor-in-chief of Wired, talks with candidates on the trail; Waleed Shahid, of
the progressive group Justice Democrats; and Ed Rendell, the former governor of
Pennsylvania, about matters of electability, practicality, and motivating
people to get out and vote.
“THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE…”: “Jojo
Rabbit”
New Zealand writer-director Taika Waititi’s rollicking World War II satire
centers on a German boy, an aspiring young Nazi, who fantasizes about his best
buddy Adolf Hitler while discovering his mother is harboring a Jewish girl in
their house. Audacious and touching, the film has been nominated for six
Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Tracy Smith talks with Waititi and with
Oscar-nominee Scarlett Johansson.
SPORTS: Tiffany trophies
In 1966, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle and Oscar Riedner, head of design at
Tiffany & Co., sketched on a cocktail napkin the design of what would
become the Vince Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the winner of the Super Bowl.
“CBS This Morning” co-host Tony Dokoupil talked to the Tiffany
artisans and silversmiths who craft this shiny, seven-pound metal prize – and
the championship trophies of 10 other sports – before they are hoisted by a
winner.
