We're back with some musings on local goings on! And there's lots going!

Musings by the Activists

Join the Activists and Roark Sizemore, founder of Pantry Plus More, a local nonprofit that addresses food insecurity in Monongalia County. Check out their innovative solutions. And how we can all help.

We discuss hatred across borders and provide our few thoughts on how to do what we can to confront the prejudice and hatred in the U.S. and beyond.

Bigotry and Hatred in WV and NZ

We speak this week with one of the numerous activists who worked tirelessly to stop HB 2519 (Campus Carry) in the West Virginia Senate. The who, why, and how. Tune in.

Aaaand the campus carry bill is dead! For now

Join the team plus Kendra Fershee as we discuss HB 2519, or the "Campus Carry" bill, which would enable people to conceal carry at the state's public institutions. Yet another wonderful bill solving a problem that doesn't exist -- and instead potentially causing them.

Campus Carry and the Showdown in West Virginia

Guns at universities? Police officers in every school? No thanks! Tune in for our take on some pressing issues at the WV state legislature.

Guns? Not in schools, please

West Virginia is in the midst of its legislative session. It's an even more wild though perhaps less wonderful time to be here. Join us for a rollicking conversation of what's up -- especially the bigot in the House and a crummy education bill from the Senate.

Education and Discrimination: The West Virginia Legislative Session

Join us and WVU Journalism Professor Bob Britten as we discuss news, media literacy, and you! How we can all help stop the spread of fake news in a "post-truth" era.
