Bay 11

In "Just 6,000 Miles Away" our host Emily talks to her big sister Chelsea, home for a visit after spending the last 11 months in Sendai, Japan. The cultural differences are substantial, and Chelsea explains how she's adjusting.

"Fighting for Her Life" sums up the last year for Shay Clayton, a teen from Willard, MO who has faced huge challenges, including one devastating decision she had to make all by herself, just before Christmas.

In our pop culture segment, we have a conversation with Tyler Snodgrass, who actually started doing stand-up in high school at Hillcrest. Now he does it professionally.

John Sellars is our special guest, describing something crazy from our city's past that he lived through--the great cobra scare of Springfield, MO, which happened during the blistering summer of 1953. The back story actually took 40 years to come to light, and there is nobody better than Sellars, the head of the Springfield History Museum, to shed some light on this memorable tale. The story is reported by Allison Green.

We get reaction to the recent banning of a classic piece of American Literature by a school in Mississippi. "To Kill a Mockingbird" has been challenged before, and it can still spark a debate about how appropriate it is for the classroom. Then we look at how the "take-a-knee" movement has moved from the NFL, where it started last fall, to some public high schools, where athletes are making their own statement during the playing of the National Anthem. Finally, it's all about the music, except when it's about the visuals. Our pop culture call-in guest is an up and coming director who has helped create videos for The Weekend, Beck, and Kanye. Find out what goes into making a professional music video in our visit with director Brook Linder.
