The book, "Happy Days: My Mother, My Father, My Sister and Me," gives a lot of background about Shana Alexander's father, Milton Ager. A few of Ager's songs are played throughout the interview. Alexander also glosses over her time spent with "Life Magazine," and with "60 Minutes."

The journalist discusses her career in magazines and her time on the 60 Minutes debate segment, Point-Counterpoint. She goes on to discuss how being a woman has informed her professional life, further explored in her book, Talking Woman.*Please note: some sections have been edited out from the original recording due to copyright considerations
