As the Feet Move, the Heart Soars. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Cherie Magnus.
The first step a person takes is memorable. It is functional, it gives purpose to movement. The brain points a person in a direction to go someplace, to accomplish something. People move forward. But the first step without purpose, without direction is equally memorable. It is the beginning of dance, movement directed by the heart. Dancing frees people. Add music and the heart soars.

Title 42, a law that prevented immigrants seeking legal asylum from entering the USA during the COVID-19 pandemic, is expiring on May 11, 2023. Predictions of a new wave of immigrants crossing the southern boarders has been in news headlines for months. President Biden has ordered an additional 1,500 National Guard troops to assist Homeland Security to stem the tide. Local, state, and federal border enforcement agencies admit they have insufficient recourses to prevent both legal and illegal crossings. The immediate impact and longer-term ramifications of an immigration wave are the topics of discussion for this episode.
