Listen to Slate's show about the week in culture.

• John Wayne's childhood home in Winterset, Iowa.
• The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in England's Lake District.
• The far superior (says Stephen) Hill Top farmhouse, better known as the home of Beatrix Potter.
• The Frostplace, Robert Frost's home in Franconia, N.H.

Stephen's picks: Robert Frost's poem "The Sound of Trees" and the Pizza on Earth restaurant in Charlotte, Vt.
Dana's pick: Dream Academy's cover of the Smiths' "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" (from Ferris Bueller's Day Off).
John's pick: the forthcoming Criterion Collection DVD of Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco.
June's picks: vacationing in Canada in order to watch Canadian television or, barring that, tuning in to Lifetime's series Drop Dead Diva.
