January 15, 2021 Youth Activists Take Charge
Racial injustices ignited a wave of protests that swept the globe last year and inspired a generation of young people with a lot to say about what they want to make right with the world. We talk with two youth activists: Destini Philpot is a co-founder of Good Kids, Mad City, and Lynnea Davis is with The Intersection.

January 14, 2021 Now In Session: Maryland 2021 General Assembly
Democrats and Republicans are starting the new session of the General Assembly expecting to find common ground on helping Marylanders slammed by the pandemic--like the kinds of subsidies and tax help Gov. Hogan wants them to enact.

But Democrats are more inclined than Republicans to blame the Hogan administration for the shambles in unemployment insurance.

And Republicans oppose the Democrats' aim to override the governor’s veto of the Kirwin plan to revamp public schools.

Agreement and argument in Annapolis.

December 04, 2020 Who Was Frederick Douglass, The Man?
To make sense of history we often turn to books to help illustrate life in the past. But today we talk with someone who brings history alive by taking it to the streets -- of Baltimore. Historian and author John Muller gives us a preview of his walking tour: The Lost History of Frederick Bailey Douglass. He believes the well-worn stories of the abolitionist’s loftier accomplishments don’t portray the true scope of the man he was.
