Daily two-hour series of evocative, ground-breaking music seamlessly bridges new instrumental, world fusion, new acoustic, impressionistic jazz and inventive vocal styles.
On today's show, Al Taylor of the Peace Project and Dr. Carl Taylor, Professor at Michigan State and expert in urban violence and stable communities, join Craig and callers for a conversation about Gun Violence and school-age youth after a special program by This American Life. What makes Beethoven endure? WDET’s J. Carlisle Larsen talks with Detroit Symphony Orchestra Assistant Conductor Teddy Abrams about the DSO's month-long series of Beethoven symphonies, and about the powerful composer that created them. Abrams says though Beethoven sometimes struggled to connect with individuals, he cared deeply about people and the human condition. Craig sits down with Henry Ford Health System CEO Nancy Schlichting to discuss her whirlwind 18 months. From winning the Malcolm Baldrige Award to being selected 2013 chairwoman of the Detroit Regional Chamber, Schlichting certainly deserves the title "Newsmaker of the Year" from Crain's Detroit Business. WDET's Travis Wright introduces us to a Detroiter in the Brightmoor Neighborhood and the challenges she faces when it comes to feeding her family. Also, notorious for their awkward poses and backgrounds (that laser effect was way cool at the time), school photos may be going the way of snail mail. With kids uploading more and more photos of themselves to Facebook, they're becoming less and less interested in school pictures. Sales have dropped over the past ten years. Metro Parent Executive Editor Julia Elliott chats with Craig about the topic.
