Will anything be accomplished because of the meeting? Can Russia and Ukraine find peace and put an end to the war? Russia appears to be taunting Ukraine in a new viral propaganda video that shows a Russian military vehicle flying a U.S. flag. Political expert Dan Snell joined us to discuss.

Have you ever wondered what it’s really like living under the world’s most repressive regime? For citizens of North Korea, life is restrictive to say the least, where they have limited freedoms and are subject to government surveillance and propaganda. Author Barbara Demick wrote a book titled: Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, which follows and tells the real-life stories of 6 North Korean residents and all they endured over a 15-year span. Demick joined us to discuss life in North Korea as well as her latest book, an equally powerful and engaging real life story: Daughters of the Bamboo Grove: From China to America, a True Story of Abduction, Adoption, and Separated Twins?

The legendary music and art festival known as Woodstock that occurred in 1969 was 3 days of peace and music that drew a staggering crowd of more than 460,000 people! Boston Globe reporter Steve Kurkjian experienced and covered the iconic festival. While Bradley was not in attendance for the 1969 festival, he did attend Woodstock 99, which attempted to emulate the original 1969 Woodstock festival. How did music culture change in the 30 years that passed between the two festivals and how did the festivals differ? Did you attend either festival and if so, what was your experience like? Steve and Bradley swapped festival stories!
