WYPR producer Jamyla Krempel hosts today’s show. There’s been lots of talk lately about changing the narrative in Baltimore. Last month, Mayor Catherine Pugh told an audience at the Parkway Theatre that Baltimore had a “perception problem.” She also said she wanted to “work on the media not depicting Baltimore always as this negative place to be.” The Mayor’s statements got lots of people, including Jamyla, thinking about how Baltimore is perceived.For the first half of the show, Jamyla welcomes two journalists who’ve spent a lot of time thinking and writing about the city. Lawrence Lanahan is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in Al Jazeera, Columbia Journalism Review and other outlets. He was the creator of WYPR’s The Lines Between Us series. And he was senior producer of the WYPR show “Maryland Morning.” Lisa Snowden McCray is a longtime Baltimore journalist. She was a writer and associate editor for the Baltimore City Paper and then editor-in-chief of The Baltimore Beat, a weekly alternative paper which, sadly, ceased publication yesterday. Later in the show, Jamyla welcomes Al Hutchinson, the president and CEO of Visit Baltimore, and Annie Milli, the executive director of Live Baltimore to talk about Baltimore’s narrative going forward.

This week on Female Trouble we’re doing something a little bit different. If you haven’t listened before, this is usually a longform conversation podcast with one guest that spans their life and career, and though this conversation generally fits that format, we centered it around a Baltimore Sun series that ran online and in print called Bridging the Divide, which is about the struggle to move past segregated schools. Bridging the Divide is a four-part series by reporters Liz Bowie and Erica Green that ran in March, examining the challenging redistricting process in Baltimore County, the struggles of a new East Baltimore school, the ways de facto segregation persist in integrated Howard County schools, and an experiment in the challenges and rewards of integration in Hartford, Connecticut. I’d highly recommend you go read those four stories, which we will link to in the show notes at baltimoresun.com/femaletrouble, and then return to this conversation, which is with Annie Milli, marketing director of Live Baltimore. Live Baltimore is a nonprofit that advocates for city living, and much of Annie’s work focuses on encouraging middle-class families in Baltimore to see the good in the neighborhood public schools they have often passed over for private schools. Annie and I only touched on a small part of what the Bridging the Divide series covers, with a focus on city schools and the series serving as a springboard for our conversation.
5:17: On May 1, 2015, after the long week of unrest and curfew, Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby stepped into War Memorial Plaza and announced charges against six Baltimore police officers in connection with the in-custody death of Freddie Gray. Since then, one of the officers, William Porter, stood trial; that trial ended in December with a hung jury. We get an update on the next step in the prosecution of the officers from the Sun’s criminal justice reporter, Justin Fenton.13:12: A year after the demonstrations and unrest, do people still want to move to Baltimore? How are city housing sales doing? The answer might surprise you. Dan speaks with Steve Gondol and Annie Milli about LiveBaltimore’s efforts to provide incentives — up to $5,000 each — to prospective home buyers, and what the past year in home sales looked like.27:22 Last year at this time, there was some question about whether the 17th annual Maryland Film Festival would happen. We’ll hear from Jed Dietz, founder and director of the festival, about last year's and the one that starts next week.40:24: Chris Reed has reviews of new films, including an action comedy starring Key and Peele.48:41: Paula Gallagher recommends a cool book about insects that sting.51:55: Sean Gallagher, a Baltimore-based editor for Ars Technica our favorite techsplainer, talks about the use of paper ballots and scanners, instead of touch screens, on Election Day.1:03:55 And a look ahead to next Saturday’s Kentucky Derby and a look back to last year’s Triple Crown victory of American Pharoah with Joe Drape, who covers horse racing for The New York Times and just wrote a book, "American Pharoah: The Untold Story of the Triple Crown Winner’s Legendary Rise."
