Today on Cause Talk Radio, Megan and Joe talk to Merri Lee Mark, philanthropist and author of a soon-to-be published book: The Giving Game: Surviving Philanthropy's Schemers, Dreamers and Volunteer Vixins - Come Hell or High Heels. Merri Lee exposes an uncivil underbelly of the philanthropic world.

Tune in as they tackle an issue few want to talk about, but can be found in small towns and big cities across America!
