<title>Why Mid-Terms Matter: A Political Round Table</title>
<itunes:author>WHRO</itunes:author>
<description><![CDATA[On November 2nd, the race in the 2nd District is one they'll be talking about as the national broadcasters take the measure of this much anticipated mid-term election. Here's the background:  Democratic Congressman Glenn Nye was elected the same night President Barack Obama was, defeating Republican Congressman Thelma Drake.  Almost immediately, the pressure was on.  The economy was beginning its sluggish jobless recovery, but the pulse was weak.  Then came health care reform and the Democratic congressman broke party ranks and voted against the bill. But even before that, Republicans were lining up to make a bid for the 2nd District.  Among them, Kenny Golden, a former vice-chair of the party.  But Golden abandoned the party in the Spring for an Independent bid. There were still six Republicans left in the field, but by June the party had settled on auto dealer Scott Rigell. So now it's a 3-way race:  Incumbent Democratic Congressman Glenn Nye, Republican challenger Scott Rigell and Independent challenger Kenny Golden.  ]]></description>

<title>Code-Switching: Communication That Matters</title>
<itunes:author>WHRO</itunes:author>
<description><![CDATA[Language.  It is the way we are understood to each other.  But in every language, there are differences in the way we speak in board rooms or barbecues, presentations or parties, conferences or clubs. Everyone at some point in their lives has “code-switched.” You may not be all that familiar with the term, but if you've ever transitioned from an informal speech pattern to a more formal type of speech, you've “code-switched.”  This week, we consider the topic, as well as preview an upcoming WHRO-TV documentary on the subject. Joining host Cathy Lewis for the discussion:  Lisa Godley, producer of the WHRO-TV documentary; Rachel Swords, a Title 1 Reading and Math Interventionist in Newport News; Richard Coleman, retired Executive Director of the Achievable Dream Academy in Newport News; and Dr. Joanne Scheibman, a linguist and professor at Old Dominion University in Norfolk.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Most of us are paying more attention to what we consume.  Between health scares from spinach, tomatoes, and pet food, to concerns about the economic impact of shipping food from great distances, many people are looking to fill their dinner tables closer to home.  There are more and better farmers' markets throughout the region and there's a growing movement whose goal is to connect consumers to the farmers who grow their food.  It is called community supported agriculture. On this edition of What Matters, we'll look at how the movement is taking shape here in Hampton Roads and how farm markets are literally growing the interests of so many consumers.  ]]></description>
