In honor of Veterans Day, here is an encore of a special episode of The Maryland Crabs featuring William Keyes, a 95 year-old African-American veteran of World War II. Mr. Keyes has created a fascinating museum to his experiences in the war, along with other aspects of Americana throughout the past century and he was gracious enough to share that with us as well as tales from his service to our country.

Baltimore crime is on the increase and so are the pressures of police Commissioner Kevin Davis. In the wake of the Baltimore City riots of 2015 and the death of Freddie Gray, getting a handle on crime is no easy task. Commissioner Davis came into Anne Arundel County to clean up after former County Executive John Leopold was forced to resign; and now he is trying to work his magic in Baltimore. Listen in as we speak with The Commish from his office on the top-floor of Baltimore City Police Headquarters. And if you get a chance, check out the fascinating Baltimore City Police Museum. We did. It's VERY cool. Just opened. But, limited hours! Links:

Today, Tim sits down with a judge...and not for the first time. But THIS time, it just to chat. As a judge on the Maryland Circuit Court, Mark Crooks, presides over trials ranging from criminal to civil. What is life like on the bench and how did he get there to begin with? And how many movie references can they both drop in a half-hour? Spoiler: a lot. And Tim resists the urge to point out the irony of the last name thing. But he was thinking it the whole time.
