<title><![CDATA[Tidewater on Two Wheels

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Amidst the local and nationwide discussions about traffic, pollution, fuel prices and obesity, some would argue that there is a unified solution.  Ride a bicycle.  If Americans exchanged just one in five of their average daily car trips with a ride on a bicycle, the effect would be the equivalent of taking 48 million vehicles off the road.  While the math is compelling, the reality facing local cyclists is that our region is far from "bike friendly." We'll consider the challenges facing local bike enthusiasts as we discuss the state of cycling across Hampton Roads.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The first of May, or May Day, is traditionally a time when European workers pause to celebrate labor rights and the reforms previously won from employers and governments.  However, this year's celebration has been anything but, marked instead with anger and outrage as more Europeans are out of work than ever.  We'll examine the implications of eurozone instability with local and international experts on the delicate financial link between the United States and Europe.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A:  Mom: A Celebration of Mothers from StoryCorps
Dave Isay, StoryCorps' founder and the editor, joins host Cathy Lewis to talk about his latest book that presents a celebration of American mothers.  Featuring StoryCorps' most revelatory stories on the subject, the book looks across a diversity of experience to present an entirely original portrait of motherhood.  Through conversations between parents and children, husbands and wives, siblings and friends, the life of the American mother unfolds.

Segment B:  How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm: And Other Adventures in Parenting
Author Mei-Ling Hopgood joins us to talk about her latest book. Hopgood, a first-time mom from suburban Michigan, now living in Buenos Aires, was shocked that Argentine parents allow their children to stay up until all hours of the night. Could there really be social and developmental advantages to this custom? Driven by a journalist's curiosity and a new mother's search for answers, Hopgood embarked on a journey to learn how other cultures approach the challenges all parents face: bedtimes, potty training, feeding, teaching, and more.

<title><![CDATA[Strategies for Senior Care


]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[People are living longer. Advances in medicine and improved quality of life are extending lifepsans further than ever,  but with those extra years come added expenses.  The average cost of a year of nursing home care is approaching $50,000 and shows no sign of decreasing.  The burden, and the associated cost, of elder care often becomes the responsibility of younger generations, leading to complicated legal and financial situations.  Today, HearSay host Cathy Lewis is joined by a panel of experts on the intricacies of senior care to provide a concise strategy for meeting the needs of our aging elders.

Today on HearSay, Cathy Lewis continues our series of conversations with the presidents of our region's community colleges.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A: The Politics of Hip-Hop
Virginia Wesleyan professor Dr. Murrell Brooks began researching his current curriculum over two decades ago, but he might not have realized it at the time.  In 1980's L.A., Murrell was a founding member of hip-hop group Double Trouble. He's taken those experiences and applied them to his "Politics of Hip-Hop" course.  He joins Cathy Lewis to share how he's using the genre's trajectory as the road map for teaching the societal circumstances that have shaped the art form since the 60s.

Segment B: Academic Integrity
Earlier this month, The University of Virginia's student body approved sweeping changes to the institution's honor system, one of the oldest in America.  HearSay host Cathy Lewis discusses the nature of the pending changes with the chair of UVA's Honor Committee and considers the greater implication for academia those changes pose with Old Dominion University's Director of Student Conduct.

Today HearSay host Cathy Lewis speaks with members of the green building community and sustainability experts from across Virginia, and the nation, about the importance of incorporating green technologies into the construction and renovation of our region's government and civilian structures.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A - Uranium Moratorium
Debate continues on the proposed lifting of Virginia's moratorium on the mining of uranium.

Segment B - Jefferson's University
Earlier this year, under pressure from the school's Board of Visitors, University of Virginia President Teresa A. Sullivan unexpectedly resigned. The resulting outrage from students, faculty, and alumni across the country began an inquest into the inner workings of one of our nation's oldest and most storied educational institutions. Today, Cathy Lewis speaks with a student and faculty member about the lasting impact of the ordeal on the University's population and reputation and considers what questions, if any, remain unanswered.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A: Sleeping Disorders:  What's "Zzzz" problem? - Encore
If you wake up in the morning exhausted and feel drowsy and irritable throughout the day, you may have a sleeping disorder.  On today's encore edition of HearSay with Cathy Lewis, we'll explore the mysterious nature of sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, and talk with local experts about the latest treatments to the age-old problem of troubled sleep./Segment B: Where In the World Was Virginia?

"Virginia" -- the term is the oldest English language place-name in the United States. While the name has remained since first applied in 1584, Virginia's identity and boundaries have evolved dramatically. Various maps have located Virginia anywhere from the sandy beaches of Bermuda to the tree-lined coasts of New England. Local historian William Wooldridge joins Cathy Lewis to discuss what three centuries of maps say about our commonwealth's identity.

<title><![CDATA[Tidewater on Two Wheels


]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Amidst the local and nationwide discussions about traffic, pollution, fuel prices and obesity, some would argue that there is a unified solution.  Ride a bicycle.  If Americans exchanged just one in five of their average daily car trips with a ride on a bicycle, the effect would be the equivalent of taking 48 million vehicles off the road.  While the math is compelling, the reality facing local cyclists is that our region is far from "bike friendly." We'll consider the challenges facing local bike enthusiasts as we discuss the state of cycling across Hampton Roads.

<description><![CDATA[How often are you without your smartphone? How late into the evening do you check your email? As advanced technologies are becoming ever-present in our lives, it seems more and more difficult to disconnect from those digital connections, professional or otherwise.

<description><![CDATA[For generations, most young Virginia males came of age in the woods hunting deer and other animals; killing your first buck or skinning your first rabbit was a rite of passage. But interest in hunting has been declining in our state for the past two decades as farmland becomes scare and young people choose indoor gaming over the real thing. On this special encore edition of HearSay, we bring you one of our programs that took home "Best Human Interest Series" at this year's Virginia Association of Broadcasters awards. The program originally aired in March 2011.  Host Cathy Lewis talks with hunting enthusiasts about the legacy of their sport and its possible future.

A key subset of both individual and collective identity is one of racial and ethnic identification.

Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. In the United States, 100,000 American children are exploited and forced into this modern-day slavery.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A: A Nation of Renters?
Housing trends show many Americans either delaying buying a house until the market stabilizes, or opting out as they recover from previous housing misadventures. The result is a red-hot rental market. On today's broadcast, Cathy talks with experts about this trend in the Hampton Roads area and what new federal programs could mean for would-be home owners.
Segment B: Challenges in Condominium Communities  
The decline of the housing market hit many Condo owners especially hard. Unable to sell their properties, they leased them, which in turn caused condo sales to plummet even further. In some cases, condo regulations now prohibit owners from even attempting to sell their homes. We'll examine these issues and learn what help is available for Condo owners.

<title><![CDATA[Segment A: Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
Segment B: Taking Back Childhood
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Segment A: Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
On the first half of our program, Cathy's joined by Yale law professor and author Amy Chua, whose parenting memoir, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," was described by the Washington Post as "the single cultural moment of 2011." We'll talk with Chua about her parenting philosophy and how to survive a media maelstrom.
Segment B: Taking Back Childhood
The average American child spends 66% more time watching television than attending school - and the images that they are digesting are often age-inappropriate. On the second half of our program, we'll talk with the author of "Taking Back Childhood" about how parents can best navigate the social currents of our media-saturated environment.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[American forces will cede the lead role in combat operations in Afghanistan next year, but will keep fighting alongside Afghan troops, according to U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.  U.S. troops would largely shift to a train-and-assist role as Afghan forces take responsibility for security before an end-2014 deadline for full Afghan control.  U.S. Ambassador for Afghanistan, Ryan Crocker, will join HearSay host Cathy Lewis, live from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul to talk about the latest as well as his upcoming visit to Hampton Roads this week.

<title><![CDATA[Segment A: Invisible Men/Segment B: The Murder/Suicide Phenomenon
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Segment A: Invisible Men

It is a dangerous stereotype - a "real man" never cries or shares his emotions. In our first segment, Cathy talks with Dr. Michael Addis, author of "Invisible Men: Men's Inner Lives and the Consequences of Silence," about the consequences created when men keep their personal struggles and professional challenges from their families and spouses.

Segment B: The Murder/Suicide Phenomenon
It is a headline seen too often. During our second segment, we'll examine the psychology behind murder/suicide; what the danger signs are; what steps to take if you are in a relationship where you fear this; and how family members and friends can help if a loved one is in a dangerous relationship.

A new national defense strategy was outlined last week by the Obama administration. During our first segment, we'll talk with local military reporters about the strategy's local impact, which promises a growth for many Navy communities, but could also bring about a homeport change for a Norfolk-based air craft carrier.

China's economic and military growth is a major factor in the shifting strategy of the US military. In this half of our program, we'll examine how Chinese military developments, including a number of new navy weapons and ships, are changing the priorities of the US Navy.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Segment A: The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir 
Batman is a crime-fighting vigilante with a tragic past, a lawless attitude, and a seemingly endless supply of high-tech gadgetry. In his new book, "The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir", Michael Uslan recalls his journey from early childhood fandom through to the decades he spent on a caped crusade of his own: to bring Batman to the silver screen as the dark, serious character he was at heart. Uslan's story traces his path from the wilds of New Jersey to the limelight of Hollywood, following his work as Executive Producer on every Batman film from Tim Burton's 1989 re-envisioning to 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. Through it all, he helped to create one of the most successful pop culture franchises of all time.
Segment B: The Man of Steel: Superman Exposed
His only weakness is Kryptonite, but some will argue that humanity itself is his greatest one.  The Man of Steel, Superman, has been around since his comic debut in 1938 through many incarnations.  In this half of the program, we'll examine why this iconic character has endured through interviews with two authors, Tom DeHaven and his book "Our Hero: Superman on Earth," and Danny Fingeroth with "Superman on the Couch."

(Thankfully, there are very few NPR listeners unfamiliar with it!) Today Cathy talks to TAL's creator, Ira Glass, about how he describes his program - and how he and his staff come up with the stories that have given its audience something to sit and listen to for the past 16 years.
Segment B:  Constitution Cafe
Many Americans venerate the Constitution - even if they don't actually seem know what's in it.  On Monday's broadcast, we'll also talk with the author of "Constitution Cafe: Jefferson's Brew for a True Revolution," which encourages citizens to question the Constitution in an effort to help them better understand its power.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Why are children so terrified to be called "nerds"?  In an age where we are increasingly dependent upon technology engineered by masterminds in math and science, why isn't it chic to be a "geek?"  In his book, "NERDS: How Dorks, Dweebs, Techies, and Trekkies Can Save America and Why They Might Be Our Last Hope," family psychotherapist and psychology professor Dr. David Anderegg examines why science and engineering have become what he calls socially poisonous disciplines and what we can do to prepare our children to succeed in an increasingly high-tech world.

<description><![CDATA[The 19th century movement to end drinking in America was born to counter the destructive forces of grain-based alcohol. Those forces were often felt by women and children, as their head-of-household abused alcohol and then came home to abuse them. On today's program, we'll examine the role women played in getting the amendment passed - and the unintended consequences that played out after their successful efforts.

<title><![CDATA[The Birth of the Weather Channel
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Despite being mocked by media colleagues that around-the-clock weather programs would be as exciting as watching paint dry, the late Frank Batten Sr. of Norfolk created the Weather Channel in 1982.  That now iconic network, and later its website, would become the largest private weather company in the world.  Batten, also the man behind The Virginian-Pilot, built a media empire centered on honesty, integrity, and ethics.  Today, we'll talk with Connie Sage, a former longtime reporter and editor for The Virginian-Pilot, and corporate staff member of Landmark Communications. She's written a new book about the media pioneer.  It's the untold story of a man whose name few recognize, yet who helped change the face of the media in the 20th century.

The saga of prohibition goes far beyond the oft-told tales of gangsters, rum runners, flappers and speakeasies.

<description><![CDATA[Today we bring you conversations with people exploring their past. Gloucester native Carter Catlett Williams and former Virginian-Pilot editor Margaret Edds both lost a parent when they were very young. They've each written a book about the experience of coming to know their lost parent through the letters they left behind (Glorious Adventure and Finding Sara, respectively). We'll talk with each of them about the experience and later in the hour we'll bring you a conversation that originally aired on What Matters with Aniko Tottossy and Ray Evans who both experienced tumultuous times in their formative years. As we reflect on the year and our families during this holiday time, tune in for a special encore presentation of these emotional and compelling stories.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[People are more active as the summer season heats up.  And if you stretch too far, that increase in physical activity can lead to back trouble.  According to the most recent numbers, approximately 3.5 million emergency room visits are made annually by people complaining about severe back pain problems.  "Next to headaches, back pain is the most common neurological complaint in the United States," says certified fitness and rehabilitation specialist Jesse Cannone of The Healthy Back Institute.  On Wednesday's HearSay, we'll talk with experts in the field of back care about what surgical and non-surgical options are available to help put that ache to rest.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Today we bring you a special encore presentation of a program nominated for "best public affairs documentary or program" at this year's Virginia Association of Broadcasters awards on June 24th.  This program originally aired in December 2010.  It's about sea level rise concerns.  If sea levels rise rapidly during the 21st century, as many scientists believe will happen, Old Dominion University would be among only a handful of large, research universities in the United States to face the threat of saltwater intrusions onto its lawns and into its campus structures. It was the topic of the Blue Planet Forum at ODU in December 2010.

<title><![CDATA[Ahead of the Storm:  Hurricane Season 2011 Begins
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The Atlantic Hurricane Season starts today and runs through November 30th. And while Hampton Roads does not typically see an increase in storm activity until late August, there is always the conversation to be had about preparedness.  Federal forecasters released their predictions for this season and say they expect and above average season with three to six major hurricanes.  The forecast follows one of the busiest seasons on record last year that saw intense levels of storms, but no direct hit on the U.S. coastline.  On the Wednesday edition of HearSay, the dean of weather forecasters, WAVY News 10's chief meteorologist Don Slater joins us along with Virginia's Coordinator of Emergency Management, Michael Cline to talk about what might lie ahead for us this season and how you can be prepared.

<title><![CDATA[Women Comics: Laughter With Lessons
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Some people believe comedy is the best reflection of reality.  Comedy often used to bring up current social, cultural or political issues and it allows audiences to take a different look at themselves.  Today on HearSay, guest host Barbara Hamm Lee will specifically examine women comics on the program and talk with Dr. Linda Mizejewski, a Professor of Women's Studies at the Ohio State University.  Dr. Mizejewski is also the keynote speaker at an upcoming 2011 Friends of Women's Studies Annual Dinner "Women on Top: Women Comics in the 21st Century" at Old Dominion University.

<title><![CDATA[Segment A:  The Civil War
Segment B:  Textbook Errors: A History of Mistakes?
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Segment A:  The Civil War
Today we examine "The Revolutionary Origins of the Civil War." It's part of an upcoming program in Williamsburg entitled: "Storm on the Horizon: Slavery, Disunion and the Roots of the Civil War."  Joining us for the conversation is one of the program's speakers, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gordon Wood, Alva O. Way University Professor and Professor of History Emeritus at Brown University.  Wood examines the emerging sectional split from the Revolution to about 1820 which for much of that period was hidden from view.  Local historian John Quarstein also joins for the conversation.

Segment B:  Textbook Errors: A History of Mistakes?
There is legislation currently in the General Assembly to tighten the review process of textbooks in Virginia classrooms.  The bill comes to light after a two elementary school history books were found with dozens of errors including that the United States entered World War I in 1916 instead of 1917 and that the Confederacy had 12 states instead of 11.

<title><![CDATA[The Changing Child In The Changing World 
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Segment A:
A tired child is a cranky child.  It's nothing new to parents, but some scientists say they're finding children with chronic sleep problems have a raised risk of developing a mental illness later in life.  "The brains of children are far more plastic and amenable to change," says Dr. Candice Alfano, assistant professor of psychology and pediatrics at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.  Dr. Alfano is also the director of the center's Child and Adolescent Anxiety Program and she will join us to talk about recent studies and programs at the center and the importance of a good night's sleep for your child.
Segment B:
In bestselling author Po Bronson's new book, "NurtureShock," the central premise is that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are backfiring because key twists in the science of it have been overlooked.  The book covers a variety of counterintuitive topics, and relates to all stages of childhood, from toddlers to teens.  During this half-hour, we'll talk with Po Bronson about his new book and take your calls at 440-2665 or 1-800-940-2240.

<title><![CDATA[An Interview with Shirley Sherrod - UPDATED!
Civil Rights Conversations In America Today - UPDATED!
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[An Interview with Shirley Sherrod - UPDATED!
Former USDA Official Shirley Sherrod is the keynote speaker for Old Dominion University's Martin Luther King Jr. Day program at the university tonight.  Sherrod has spent her career working on racial justice issues.  Last year, she worked as the Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and was forced to resign amid controversial remarks.  A blogger had posted remarks Sherrod had made out of context which implied she discriminated against a white farmer.  Subsequent events showed that the posted video was taken out of context and, in fact, was a part of broader comments that conveyed a completely different meaning. The NAACP apologized for its critical comments, and her boss at the USDA also apologized, offering her another job, which she declined.  Sherrod will speak about that issue, as well as other events in her life that have helped shape her beliefs in racial justice and equality, at ODU's MLK Day event at 7:30 p.m. at the university's Webb Center.  The event is free and open to the public. For more information call 683-5759.
Civil Rights Conversations In America Today - UPDATED!
What is the current state of the Civil Rights conversation today in America?  In the second-half of our program, we'll talk with Nichelle Smith, Custom Content Editor for Gannett ContentOne and the site manager for Gannett's Civil Rights in America: Connections to a Movement website.  Four generations alive today have direct connections to the Civil Rights Movement and each generation has important stories to tell, to pass on, and to hear. Many stories are from icons you recognize; more are from unsung heroes. Gannett's Civil Rights in America: Connections to a Movement website helps tell the complete story, with rich context provided from Gannett newspapers and TV stations that were there at the movement's height in communities all over the South. The web portal is updated continually and features news stories, personal stories, records and more about the movement.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A:  The Role of Social Networking on Public Engagement
We'll discuss the growing power of social networking and its rise and influence on public engagement.  We examine the way in which social media have given rise to an opportunity for people to move from observing stories to influencing them.  From comments on YouTube videos to Facebook fan pages, many recent news stories have blossomed after they've spread through social networks.  How is this changing the way news and information distribution evolves?  Join us! 
Segment B:  Sticking To Your Resolution?
Lose weight.  Stop smoking.  Stop drinking Enjoy life more. Get organized.  New Year's resolutions are everywhere, but are you sticking to yours?  HearSay's tech consultant and motivational expert Ed Sykes joins us to talk about the many ways you can "jumpstart" that flailing resolution.  We'll explore some of the online and high-tech tools that can help you keep that personal pledge.
Listener Question:  How do you find success in sticking to your resolutions?

He was inspired to portray Hamilton after serving as moderator of The Jefferson Hour for ten years. During that time he discovered that Hamilton was reviled by many of his peers which sparked his curiosity about this founding father. Chrystal has since delved into the life of Hamilton and found him to be a model of success whose lessons translate to modern times. Join us as we talk about many things, including Hamilton's proclamation that no "Citizen of the United States should refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day." Tune in!

<title><![CDATA[Veterans Day:  Letters from Home & Families of the Fallen 
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Today is Veterans Day.  The federal holiday set aside to honor those who served our Nation's military.  Today, we'll talk about the history of the holiday that was established in 1919 and also how prior to the internet, generations of soldiers and families waited on mail as the only means of communication.  Author Jack London explores the history of letter writing and the importance of honoring veteran memories through letters in his new book, "French Letters: Engaged in War."  Also in the hour, we'll talk with local, award-winning author Joanne Steen who has launched a national campaign to draw attention to the unmet needs of a sometimes overlooked group who bear the ultimate burden and sacrifice for our country--surviving parents who have lost a military son or daughter in the line of duty.  We'll also open our lines for your thoughts and reflections of Veterans Day.

<title><![CDATA[From The Headlines - Transit, Telecommuting and Shorter Workweeks
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Economic concerns, energy savings and traffic congestion are the main reasons Virginia is considering a four-day workweek for state employees. Last week, Governor McDonnell's newly formed Reform and Restructuring Commission recommended the plan, which would mean longer, 10-hour work days, but shorter work weeks. But is that such a good idea? Would the shorter workweek mean a customer service bottleneck for state agencies like the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Virginia Employment Commission?
Joining the discussion are Dan Bell from Canon Information Technology Services in Chesapeake, which uses 4X10 scheduling whenever possible. We'll also talk about another possible solution to the same concerns - telecommuting, or teleworking. Jennifer Alcott, programs director for TeleworkVA will discuss how telecommuting works and initiatives to create more teleworking jobs in Virginia. 
We'll also be joined by Hampton Roads Transit CEO and President Philip Shucet, who will discuss how public transit is moving forward for HRT Try Transit Week.

<description><![CDATA[Divorce is a painful reality for many couples and their families. It's really a three part process - legal, financial and emotional - and used to mean a long and drawn out courtroom process. For that reason, many couples are turning to collaborative divorce, a process that's gaining momentum in Virginia and across the nation. Collaborative divorce  is different because it's a method that tackles the legal, emotional and financial aspects of divorce by bringing couples, attorneys, mediators and family counselors together. We'll discuss how collaborative divorce works with attorney Mary Commander, mediator Karen Richards and financial planner Lonnie Broussard - all three of whom were instrumental in bringing collaborative divorce to Virginia.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Earlier in the week we talked about taking risks.  Today, we'll peer inside the betting brain to see how researchers are understanding risk-taking and decision-making when it comes to gambling.  Gambling addiction, or compulsive gambling, is a type of impulse-control disorder.  Even when gambling addicts know the odds are against them they can't "stay off the bet."  Elizabeth George, with the North American Training Institute and the American Academy of Health Care Providers in the Addictive Disorders joins us.  We'll also talk with Mary Sojourner, author of "She Bets Her Life."  Studies show nearly half of the 6-8 million gambling addicts in America are women.  Sojourner recounts her story of how she overcame her addiction after more than a decade.

<description><![CDATA[American society has made many advances in the area of racial equality, but one realm where progress has been stagnant is the area of asset building.

Guests: Tom Shapiro, Director of the Institute on Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University, Lori Irwin, Director of Live$mart, a financial stability initiative convened by the United Way of South Hampton Roads and Wil LaVeist, a keynote speaker for the Urban League of Hampton Roads.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Many Americans don't think twice about their ability to understand prescription labels, communicate via e-mail or get lost in a good book. For an estimated 30 million Americans, aged 16 or older, who have not mastered basic reading and writing skills those seemingly simple tasks are not possible. Low adult literacy impacts many facets of life including health care, employment and crime, but with many who can't read ashamed to admit it the issue doesn't get a lot of attention. We'll talk about efforts underway on the national and local level to help those struggling with literacy. Guests: Joan Peterson, Executive Director of Literacy for Life and Professor Gay Ivey, Professor and Coordinator of Reading Education at James Madison University.

<title><![CDATA[Corralling Clutter Chaos
]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Studies have shown that once someone takes ownership of an item the value of that they place on that item is greater to them than the value that others would assign to it. That may explain why, for so many of us, it can be so hard to get rid of our 'stuff'. In some cases the compulsion to retain items is so strong it becomes a phenomenon called 'hoarding'. Today, we'll talk about hoarding and ways to cut through the clutter in all of our lives. Guests: Gail Blanke, author of Throw Out Fifty Things, Dr. Gail Steketee, co-author of Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things, Kevin Salwen, co-author of The Power of Half : One Family's Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving Back, and one of the field producers of A&E's series Hoarders.

White Americans over 25 are more than one and a half times as likely to hold a bachelor's degree and there are more African-Americans under correctional control today than were enslaved in 1850, a decade before the start of the Civil War. Today we'll talk with two educators who are working to encourage success among black American males - Dr. Alvin J. Schexnider, President of Thomas Nelson Community College and Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, President of The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and co-author of Beating the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Males. We'll also bring you a conversation with Antwone Fisher about his latest book A Boy Should Know How to Tie a Tie : And Other Lessons for Succeeding in Life.

Today we'll talk with people impacted by autism including the author of The Autism Mom's Survival Guide Susan Senator, Tom Swanston, the Executive Director of Chesapeake Service Systems which provides employment and habitation opportunities for people with disabilities, and Dr. John Harrington, M.D., director of CHKD's General Academic Pediatrics and an associate professor at EVMS.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A: Letters to Jackie
When President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 the nation, and the world, mourned. Over the course of the two years following Kennedy's death his widow Jackie received 1.5 million condolence letters. The letters remained largely untouched for decades, but historian and News Hour with Jim Lehrer commentator Ellen Fitzpatrick has gathered 250 of the letters in a collection titled Letters to Jackie: Condolences from a Grieving Nation. You'll want to tune in to hear about the heartfelt and moving letters Fitzpatrick has brought to light.

Acclaimed author, critic and literary scholar Jabari Asim has penned and published his first work of fiction A Taste of Honey: Stories. Though it is a work of fiction the stories are rooted in the tumultuous reality of 1968 America. The sixteen interconnected stories create a realistic depiction of life for African Americans living in a fictionalized small Midwestern town.

<description><![CDATA[Segment A: Flight from Monticello
Michael Kranish is an author, historian and the Washington correspondent for The Boston Globe. During the 2004 Presidential campaign he began exploring the possibility of authoring a history on the Revolutionary War and came across the story of the 1781 invasion of Virginia, which caused then-Governor Thomas Jefferson and the legislature to abandon the capital in Richmond. This little-explored episode from Jefferson's life lit a spark of inspiration for Kranish and the resulting book Flight from Monticello: Thomas Jefferson at War has garnered rave reviews. Join us for an insightful conversation!
Segment B: Occult America
If you've ever used a Ouija board or played 'light as a feather, stiff as a board' at a slumber party many would say you've dabbled in the Occult. Today we talk with author Mitch Horowitz about his book Occult America: The Secret History of How Mysticism Shaped Our Nation which chronicles the ways in which 'alternative' practices and beliefs have impacted the history of our nation as a whole and individual searches for meaning.

]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Conspiracy theories abound, with some people swearing that astronauts never really landed on the moon, that 9/11 was an inside job or that the death of Princess Diana was an elaborate hoax. Journalist David Aaronovitch would come across people with these beliefs and was never sure how to respond, so he put his journalistic training to good use and researched the origins of some of the more prominent theories out there. He published his findings in Voodoo Histories: The Role of the Conspiracy Theory in Shaping Modern History and today we'll talk to him about his findings. We'll also talk with author Mitch Horowitz about his book Occult America: The Secret History of How Mysticism Shaped Our Nation and the ways in which alternative practices have impacted our nation as a whole and individual searches for meaning.
