Since 1908, YWCA South Hampton Roads has strengthened social movements that eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. The organization serves more than 8,000 people through programs and services that address critical needs of survivors of domestic violence, stalking and sexual harassment and violence. And now the YWCA South Hampton Roads needs help. Major funding from the federal government is on hold, and the organization has about three months before it will have to drastically curtail, or end, its domestic violence services, including a local shelter. We talk with CEO Michelle Ellis Young about the immediate needs and how the community can help.

Another View went live from the historic Cape Charles Elementary School! Affectionately called "the school over the hump" by students because it is located just beyond a former railroad bridge, the school opened in 1929 to educate Black children in segregated Cape Charles. It was one of 5,000 Rosenwald Schools created through the partnership of education leader Booker T. Washington and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald. The school closed in 1966, and the building was used as a seafood processing plant until the late 1970s. For decades it sat dormant, but today it has been revitalized to once again serve the community. We hear from former students and learn more about the history of this historic landmark on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

Listen to part 3 of our series on relationships. This time, we're focusing on navigating conflict through healthy communication and authentic connection. Relationship expert Dr. Alvean Lyons and cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby share sound advice on managing relationship issues like jealousy, opposite sex friendships, arguments and setting boundaries.

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month — the time when we pay particular attention to the mental health challenges experienced by Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in this country. This year's theme is "More Good Days, Together". Generational trauma; financial and food insecurity; language barriers; discrimination; access to healthcare and cultural stigma are all contributors to the lived experience of minority groups and can influence whether a person receives the mental health care they need. We talk with leaders of the National Alliance of Mental Health Coastal Virginia about programs they provide to help individuals and families find to care so that they can have "more good days together".

Meet nurse, educator, and author Dr. Carolyn Stegman. Her latest book is called "The Sages of Oak Place," a novel about aging with dignity, purpose, and rejection of a boring and lonely trajectory toward death. Through her fictional characters, Dr. Stegman explores the challenges of growing older along with the joy of living life to the fullest without regret.

How will future historians describe America and democracy when they look back at the 250th anniversary of the country? Will the narrative focus on the culture and tone of America 250, or Freedom 250? Present-day historian Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander and Constitutional Law scholar Dr. Vania Blaiklock share their thoughts.

Oil tankers are moving cautiously through the Straight of Hormuz, following renewed hostilities over the weekend between the U.S. and Iran. The two countries have agreed to pause strikes and resume talks, but how will all this back and forth impact gas prices over the summer months? Political Analyst Dr. Eric Claville joins Another View Producer Lisa Godley to share his thoughts. Plus, there's a new student loan repayment framework that will impact millions of borrowers. Find out how it might affect your wallet!

We have experimental songs tonight, underground hip-hop & grime, and quite a lot of jungle & drum’n’bass mixed up with more experimental electronics & noise, sound-art meets contemporary classical, music for Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Sudan and Congo, and more! LISTEN AGAIN to find the hope in the world; stream on demand at fbi.radio, podcast here. Aphir – Photokeratitis [Bird’s Robe Records/Bandcamp] Naarm’s Becki Whitton is many things: having been a guiding force behind sort-of record label Provenance Collective and mastermind of alternative top 100 for leftfield Australian music, The Wettest 100, professionally she’s a talented sound engineer, mixing & mastering many local pop & indie legends; and of course above all she’s a wonderful songwriter, producer, singer & improviser under the name Aphir. It’s been some time since the last Aphir album of songs with beats & stuff – for some time she’s been creating incredible ambient choral works with live looping & processing, some of which was released on The Halo is Shapeless in 2023. That album was released on Art As Catharsis – a very eclectic label, but best known for postrock & metal. Now Aphir’s new album Avarena is coming in September, and another Eora/Sydney postrock powerhouse, Bird’s Robe Records, is releasing it. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing it already, and it’s full of the kind of experimental electronic pop songs we’ve come to expect from Becki Whitton. Brian Ennals & Blockhead – Let it Burn (like Usher) [Phantom Limb/Bandcamp] Last time I had the pleasure of playing Baltimore rapper Brian Ennals, it was as part of a frankly astonishing opus in collaboration with Infinity Knives last year called A City Drowned in God’s Black Tears, mixing hip-hop with guitars’ acoustic strums & electric riffs, and a male gospel choir. NYC producer Blockhead is known – apart from the endless memes on his Instagram – for his extensive production work with Aesop Rock and more recently billy woods, two genius figures in rap – plus scads of solo work. Ennals more than easily stands in those shoes on *ahem* Boatshoes, the first single of which takes in in jazz loops and weird synths, with often-melodic rapping from Ennals. Keep an eye on this album, due out on July 17th. Basic Rhythm & NyNy – Vibez [Sneaker Social Club/Bandcamp] Basic Rhythm – No Future [Sneaker Social Club/Bandcamp] Anthoney Hart’s Basic Rhythm is generally his take on drum’n’bass, albeit always a little off-centre, rhythms shifted in some way. But his latest for the great bass label Sneaker Social Club is titled 8 Bar Techno. So is it techno? Well… kinda? It definitely starts that way, the title track sporting gun reloads & shots accenting its 4/4 thump. It’s definitely bass music though, and half of it I would suggest is grime – a highlight is NyNy‘s collaboration, “Vibez”, with more of those gun cocks. And then “No Future” has the 4/4 pulse and techno tempo, and that syncopated bassline… With Eklipse the mix empties out for a dubstep/grime feel, and sword slices replacing the guns. Only when the album closes on “Ice Cold” do we get hints at drum’n’bass, and even then what it really is a kind of grime-techno-electro stomp. Excellent. Sourdure – Le Pebre (feat. Lisà Langlois) [Murailles Music/Bandcamp] Ernest Bergez, of experimental electronic duo Kaumwald and various bands in various genres, continues his Sourdure project this year with a new album, Outredore, coming in September. With Sourdure, arcane pagan themes are modernised with electronic processing and synths, with lyrics in the Auvergnat dialect of the regional French language Occitan – which is closer to Catalan than French, and was the traditional language of many troubadors in ages past. As much as it draws on the folk music of central France, there are Arabic melodies flowing through these songs, and electronic pulses and tones. The first single features additional vocals from Lisà Langlois of the band Bòsc and collective La Crue, based also in the Massif Central of France. Jesse Draxler – Traap Number 9 ft. Lord Spikeheart & Hybrid Intuition [RIP ID] LA-based visual artist, filmmaker & musician Jesse Draxler released the first single from his upcoming album/project Tongue of Angels a few weeks ago, featuring hardcore punk/hip-hop duo Ho99o9. Here’s the second one now, with two big names from the Kenyan underground: Martin Kanja aka Lord Spikeheart, who works with heavy electronics and was half of grindcore band Duma, and guitarist/producer/futurist Hybrid Intuition. Draxler is primarily a visual artist as far as I know, but whether this is his music or more curation, it’s good stuff! Artilect – Flames (Featuring Miss Ria) [Weaponist/Bandcamp] One of the most consistently exciting drum’n’bass/jungle producers of the last while is Dylan Blythin aka Artilect, who’s often been associated with the Samurai folks but has always tended to have a junglist’s sense of rhythmic complexity shot through the d’n’b cyberpunk battering ram. And that neon, rain-soaked darkness is present on Reptile, his latest EP on Homemade Weapons‘ Weaponist label – to my ears there’s a lot of Dom & Roland here (high praise). dgoHn – Waiting For [Planet µ/Bandcamp] Here are two tastes that sure go well together – the first release by drumfunk genius dgoHn (aka John Cunnane) on Planet µ! Tessares really is vintage dgoHn, with the melodic focus of label boss µ-Ziq – and dgoHn did have an album with Macc on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label (digital available here), so IDM isn’t exactly foreign to his style of drum’n’bass. But the beats are impeccable & inventive too, of course. Highly recommended. Mantra, Decibella & Tim Reaper – Force 32 [RuptureLDN/Bandcamp] Force 32 is the third collaboration between three huge forces for the jungle revival in the UK: (DJ) Mantra, who co-founded RuptureLDN with her husband Double O, as club nights and a label (who released this EP); Decibella, herself a busy jungle & drum’n’bass DJ, and Ed Alloh aka Tim Reaper, the hardest working guy in jungle, albeit now on a break from his collaborative releases on Future Retro London. The previous installments can be found on Tim Reaper’s label and on FABRICLIVE, and this may be the best of the lot – just really good jungle as it should be done. Shhau – Bedrock [SFX/Bandcamp] Fresh on Zoë Mc Pherson‘s SFX is an album from Armenian musician & bass music producer Shhau. This is music that moves comfortably between bass music genres and tribal, percussive techno – as such it would be perfectly suited to the YUKU label, but very much fits with Mc Pherson’s aesthetic too. I love the way this is a really solid drum’n’bass tune until it pummels its way into something more techno-y. Bios Contrast & Nilotpal Das – Iron Age Fantasies [Bios Contrast Bandcamp/Universal Broadcast] Bios Contrast & Nilotpal Das, Seraphim, Susu Laroche, BROOD – Escape [Bios Contrast Bandcamp/Universal Broadcast] Bios Contrast & Nilotpal Das is the usual way that Nilotpal Das refers to his music-making, although there are many more variations! He’s an incredibly prolific producer, with new tracks going up on Bandcamp more than weekly – and there’s Bios Contrast and Brahmancore at least to follow. These two tracks are from an honest-to-goodness album that’s even released in a limited CD edition from US distributor Universal Broadcast (with impossibly expensive shipping, natch). Sounds from the S.P.E.A.K.E.R System also extends Das’s love of collaboration, with a whole host of artist joining in. On the second track here we have vocals from French-Egyptian cross-media artist Susu Laroche, and additional production from Seraphim and BROOD. We’re talking crazy glitchy beats, sometimes edging into breakcore or speedcore territory. Brahmancore. KK NULL – Quantum Pulsation X_000005 [KK Null Bandcamp] Kazuyuki Kishino, usually known as KK NULL or Null, is one of the most recognized, long-lasting noise & experimental musicians in Japan. Since the early 1980s he’s made noise rock, hardcore punk and industrial, and collaborated with scads of artists from across the spectrum, but for decades as well he’s made mind-melting electronic music. Even if there are elements of dub, techno or other genres, his music remains sui generis. On his Bandcamp you’ll find a host of different series, albums grouped around particular concepts, this particular recent one being Quantum Pulsation X – and it’s not actually the tenth Quantum Pulsation, but rather an extended riff on an earlier work I guess. The complexity of rhythm and noise reflects the complexity of thought that Null puts into everything he does. A fascinating assault on the senses. Architectural – Psychedelic Dancefloor Visions [Delsin Records/Bandcamp] Better known as Reeko, Spain’s Juan Rico has made thumping minimal techno for many years, and in the last few years branched out into drum’n’bass and 170BPM beats, mainly for Samurai Music. His long-established Architectural alias turned up a couple of years back on R&S Records, and has continued as an outlet for the lighter stuff. Here we have some blissfully head-noddy deep techno. Kirk Barley – Ecstatic [Marionette/Bandcamp] We’ve heard Kirk Barley a lot on this show under his own name and as the Church Andrews half of Church Andrews & Matt Davies. In that pairing, Barley’s sinuous yet precise modular synthesis interacts with Davies’ complex (and precise!) drumming patterns, and it’s interesting hearing on forthcoming album Arc that Barley’s solo synth work retains a lot of that rhythmic quirkiness – although to be fair, Matt Davies appears on a number of tracks, including this one. The oddly-tuned synths and hard-to-pin-down rhythms make for a beautifully strange listening experience. dprk – Blutsuppe [Studio Fabrik/Bandcamp] dprk – Aksak-Turm [Studio Fabrik/Bandcamp] I continue to appreciate the super-weird work of Eora/Sydney experimental trio dprk, made up of Richard Fielding (Loop Orchestra, early Severed Heads), Nick Dan (of noise obscurists xNoBBQx) and Juke Wyat (also recently of Loop Orchestra). Gnomes of Zürich is their ostensibly krautrock excursion, although a lot of the aesthetics of that loose genre have inhabited their mix of psych, noise and synth oddness. The two short vignettes here have a strange affinity with the more de-genred aspects of Mike Paradinas’ µ-Ziq and his one-off collaboration with Jochen Paap aka Speedy J, Slag Boom Van Loon. Lord Tusk – Opposites Attract [do you have peace?/Bandcamp] Dawuna – Anything [do you have peace?/Bandcamp] From do you have peace?, the label run by Bristol minimalist bass/trip-hop mavericks Jabu, a highly recommended compilation raising money for on-the-ground organisations in Lebanon, Congo, Palestine, Iran & Sudan. And this is a seriously stacked compilation, ranging from the more ambient side of this scene’s productions to the dub-influenced weirdness of, for instance, Lord Tusk and the minimalist, obscured r’n’b digi-funk of Ian Mugerwa’s Dawuna, who I loved in his early incarnation as Ot to, not to. Helen Svoboda – If [Room40/Bandcamp] Helen Svoboda – Evening Hepuli (feat. Selma Savolainen) [Room40/Bandcamp] Naarm-based Finnish-Australian double bassist is an artist who truly defies categorisation, as you may have noted if you’ve been listening to this show for a while. Adept as a jazz double-bassist, she has also developed many extended techniques on her instrument, and is a master at the melodic use of stopped harmonics (heard in last year’s debut from the TL;DR quartet and 2024’s Anatomical Heart collaboration). Svoboda’s last solo album, 2023’s The Odd River, is a collection of assorted songs, on which Svoboda is joined by many brilliant Australian jazz players, but the music covers folk and classical – and in fact the album is one part of a film work Svoboda made with Angus Kirby (I’m not sure there’s any way to watch it online though). Now the follow-up, Headwater, has been released by the great Room40, showcasing songs & compositions mostly created from Svoboda’s double bass & voice, and co-produced by Tilman Robinson, whose electronics also wrap around many of the works. There are a few collaborators, and notably the voice of acclaimed Finnish singer Selma Savolainen can be found throughout. It’s a stunner. Kalia Vandever – Tough Play [International Anthem/Bandcamp] New York-based trombonist Kalia Vandever plays an instrument that’s a little unusual in jazz as a lead instrument, but is also a talented ensemble player and a great composer & songwriter. Their last solo album, last year’s Another View, was made with a guitar/bass/drums backing band featuring the brilliant Mary Halvorson, but follow-up Mana is entirely performed by themself. There are electronic textures blending with the sound of multi-tracked trombones, and there are also songs, bearing the influence of Vandever’s Hawaiian heritage. There’s something homely about “Tough Play”, with simple piano chords, trombone lurking underneath and Vandever’s clear voice. Just beautiful. Mara – Air Leak feat. Benjamin Woods [Pure Space/Bandcamp] fbi.radio broadcaster, curator, violist, composer, sound-artist Mara Schwerdtfeger returns to the also-fbi-affiliated Pure Space with a two track release. At the time of broadcast the first track was available, based around the single note playable on her great-grandfather’s flute, with additional flautation from Naarm’s Benjamin Woods. The very breathy tones are warming but slightly unsettling, joined at intervals by sub bass pings. Seabuckthorn – Mumbo Jumbo [Lost Tribe Sound/Bandcamp] When we first heard Andy Cartwright’s Seabuckthorn, the project was a showcase for his incredible fingerstyle guitar picking, a brilliant take on American Primitive from an artist based in the UK. There were hints even then of other tendencies bubbling under – shoegazey bowed guitars, field recordings. In the meantime, both under his own name and as Seabuckthorn, Cartwright has taken his art in many different directions, including sound-collage and electronic elements. On this track, we have an arrhythmic collage of percussive sounds which eventually coalesces into a cyclic rhythm, with string drones and a few select notes from Phil Cassel’s double bass (he’s one of two guests on the album, along with Lost Tribe Sound regular William Ryan Fritch). Ben Shemie – I See You Too [Beacon Sound/Bandcamp] Bint Mbareh – one’s own third harmonic on a rusted sewage pipe [Beacon Sound/Bandcamp] Following January’s brilliant compilation Gaza Is The Moral Compass (and it still is), Portland, OR label Beacon Sound offer Flowers Not Bombs, once again featuring artists associated with Montréal’s Constellation label such as cellist Rebecca Foon, Ben Shemie of SUUNS, as well as Lost Tribe Sound’s William Ryan Fritch, cellist/sound-artist Nick Storring, International Anthem & WeJazz-associated percussionist Booker Stardrum – plus Lebanese composer Youmna Saba, Palestinian sound-artist Bint Mbareh, Iranian composer & sound-artist Rouzbeh Shadpey and many more. Shemie’s piece features his high, vocoded voice with beautifully orchestrated strings, while Mbareh’s echoey piano gradually succumbs to sound manipulation, stretching and reversing until its brief piano coda. All profits of this beautiful compilation go to two very worthy on-the-ground organisations: Arab Group for the Protection of Nature and Palestinian Teacher Creativity Center. Félicia Atkinson – Les Yeux IV [VIERNULVIER Records/Bandcamp] Félicia Atkinson – Sans Visage V [VIERNULVIER Records/Bandcamp] I was lucky to perform at the brilliant dunk!festival last year with my band Black Aleph, a festival in Europe’s best-kept secret, the lovely northern-Belgium city of Ghent. Specifically, the festival occurs in a few theatres and venues around an arts centre / platform / community called VIERNULVIER (404), which itself has a phenomenally-curated boutique record label. Having discovered the excellent Antwerp-based musician Youniss through the label earlier this year, I was pleased to see a familiar name in Félicia Atkinson appearing on the label. This album, Sans Visage, was a commissioned by VIERNULVIER for their Videodroom series. It’s spooky music, not particularly redolent of evil but very atmospheric, and simply as sound-art, the maniupated piano and guitar, the organ and voicelike drones and the quite avant-garde harmonies are beautiful, and evoke a soundtrack from years ago, glitchily transmitted from a long-lost archive.

Leadership at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia understands a simple, yet effective formula: young people who need them most, plus an outcome-driven Club experience, equals great futures. We dive deep into the work of BGCSEVA, and the difference the clubs are making in the lives of local youth. Plus, meet Christian, the 2026 Virginia/DC Boys and Girls Clubs Youth of the Year, who shares how BGCSEVA changed his life.

Clinical trials are research projects that study the effects of new medical interventions, like drugs, devices, vaccines or behavioral therapies, to determine if they are safe and effective for humans. Only 5% of clinical trial participants are African American. What makes Black people so reluctant to participate in the trials? Why is Black representation important? And what can be done to increase trust? We explore those questions during Another View on Health.

Are you a caregiver for someone in your family? Are you frantic about work, your kids, relationships or your health? Is today's political and social environment causing you sleepless nights?

Wellness professional Bettina Lee shares ways to regain your peace through physical wellness, mental health support and holistic lifestyle coaching.

More than 3 million people voted in last month's statewide redistricting referendum special election, with the majority voting "yes" to allow for a temporary map that favored Democrats. The Virginia Supreme Court threw out the vote saying the process used to create the amendment was unconstitutional. This decision, on the heels of the SCOTUS ruling that guts the Voting Rights Act, has many in the Black community concerned that their voting rights may be headed back to the Jim Crow era of unfair practices, intimidation and even violence to keep Black and other marginalized people from voting. The Another View Round Table tackles this and other current events.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states may not draw congressional redistricting maps based on race, but they can redraw them based on party affiliation. Critics say the decision further erodes fair voter representation, especially for Black and brown people. What will be the impact of Louisiana v. Callais in the upcoming midterm elections? And how will this ruling affect Virginia's Supreme Court decision on redistricting in the Commonwealth?

In addition to the normal struggles of climbing the professional ladder, African American leaders in all professions carry the weight of representing the Black community, with their every move often considered a reflection of the entire race. It can be a heavy burden, sometimes leading to devastating consequences. We have a frank conversation about the hidden struggles of Black professionals and where they turn when they need help with our guests, Dr. Alvean Lyons, Dr. Harold Neighbors, and Another View on Health co-host Dr. Keith Newby.

"Who do you think you are?" - a question usually one usually asks of another, especially in a disagreement. But have you ever asked yourself the question? China Watson, author of "Who Do You Think You Are?", believes that by changing the way we see ourselves and our circumstances, we unlock barriers to new possibilities and growth, and learn to face life challenges with resilience and optimism. Come with us on this journey of self-discovery!

The 250th anniversary of America has sparked renewed interest in family lineage. Many people of European descent can trace family roots back to 1776 and beyond. But for many African Americans, the search is more difficult because of systemic erasure of records during slavery. We share ways for people of color to find their family story. Meet the folks of Kinfolkology and learn how their work is "dedicated to remembering enslaved ancestors as kin and kindred in full partnership with descendent communities."

On Easter Sunday, President Donald Trump threatened Iran on social media. He used profanity, mocked Iranian leadership and threatened to bring harm to Iranian civilians. By most accounts, the tone was shocking. Whatever happened to civility and diplomacy? Is there such a thing anymore as "polite conversation"? Are we becoming a society bereft of manners? Our Another View Round Table pundits discuss these questions and more.

Last weekend, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to pay TSA workers. Will this end long lines at airport security checkpoints? Meanwhile, ground troops are headed to the Middle East despite the President's insistence that the war with Iran is "ahead of schedule" and will be ending soon. Plus, there is confusion and disinformation as Virginians decide on a temporary redistricting plan. Political and legal analyst Dr. Eric Claville brings perspective and clarity to these issues and more.

Each year in the United States, hundreds of women die during pregnancy or within the first year of giving birth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Thousands of women experience unexpected outcomes of labor and delivery, with serious health consequences; and 80% of pregnancy related deaths in the U.S. are preventable. For Black women, the numbers are alarming. Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy than white women. According to the CDC, several factors contribute to this disparity, including lack of quality healthcare and underlying chronic conditions. Social determinants of health such as unstable housing, food insecurity and low incomes prevent Black and other minority women from having fair opportunities for economic, physical and emotional health. April 11-17 is Black Maternal Health Week, so on this episode of Another View on Health, find out how maternal health care disparities impact Black women in Hampton Roads, and learn how the Black Maternal Health Equity Action Alliance is making a difference.

We commemorate the 250th anniversary of America, live from the American Revolution Museum in Yorktown. Historians Christy Coleman and Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander share the little-known facts about the contributions of Blacks in the fight for freedom during this Another View history lesson and answer questions from our audience.

On April 21st… Virginia voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution to temporarily allow state lawmakers to redraw congressional district maps. What exactly does this mean, and how will it affect your representation in Congress? Another View roundtable pundits bring insight to this and other current events, including rising gas prices and the war in Iran. Plus, they pay tribute to civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Zuckerberg and Meta on trial, knowing well their product with tools like filters were hurting young women still defended and deflected any blame. The trans rights are getting out of hand as one Minnesota trans congressman pushes for porn so kids can learn about queer sex. As the show continued, we received BREAKING NEWS that the Supreme Court struck down the Trump tariffs and may actually require refunds in a 6-3 vote. We break it all down thoroughly. Plus, clowns of the week, and our weekly Prayer to Our Heavenly Father.

The Electric Slide. The Wobble. The Cupid Shuffle. Boots on the Ground. All are staples of backyard barbeques, weddings and parties. We're talking about line dancing! Learning the steps is one thing, but have you ever wondered about the history of line dancing, particularly "soul" or "urban" dances? Where do the moves come from? What started this form of dance? Put on your dancing shoes and celebrate Black history with us!

Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested by federal agents in January for their coverage of an anti-ICE demonstration that disrupted a church service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. They've been charged with conspiracy and interfering with religious freedoms. The journalists say they were just doing their job of reporting the news. Are these arrests a blatant disregard for the First Amendment of the Constitution? What will be the impact on future coverage of governmental actions? Are journalists, particularly journalists of color, more fearful — or more determined — to report the truth? During this special 90-minute episode, local journalists share what it's like to do their job during the Trump administration.

February is Black History Month, a time set aside to honor the history, accomplishments and resilience of African Americans. On this first Thursday of the month, meet Arrington Gavin, a young man who has turned his big dreams into action. He's an entrepreneur, podcaster and philanthropist. You will be inspired by this Chesapeake native's story!

Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., says it's important to "make America healthy again" - and one way to do it is by changing the American diet. The newly released food pyramid now focuses on eating more protein, saturated fats, full-fat dairy and fruits and vegetables. It suggests fewer grains, sugar and ultra-processed foods. Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby weighs in on how these new recommendations could affect your overall health, including your heart health.

President Donald Trump says the United States needs to purchase Greenland for national security purposes and has threatened military action to take over the Arctic island. The people of Greenland say their country is not for sale. European allies are pushing back and have increased their military presence on the island. In response, Trump threatened to impose 10% tariffs on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland starting Feb. 1 and rising to 25% on June 1 if no deal is reached. He says the tariffs will stay in effect until the U.S. takes control of Greenland. Are these actions the beginning of the end of NATO? Will the president's actions destroy relationships with our allies? How will China and Russia take advantage of the looming divide? Political and legal analyst Dr. Eric Claville provides perspective on the U.S. role in world politics.

In 2023, award-winning investigative journalist Brandi Kellam published "Uprooted,” a collaboration between ProPublica and the Virginia Center for Investigative Journalism at WHRO. The series revealed how American universities expanded campuses while systematically displacing Black and marginalized communities. It exposed historic injustices as well as the present-day consequences of university-led displacement. The investigation helped spur the creation of a Virginia legislative commission now exploring potential redress. It also sparked the creation of a local Newport News task force to examine the role Christopher Newport University played in displacing dismantling a historic Black community over the last 60 years. Kellam updates us on the state and local investigations and what steps will be taken to right a wrong.

Are you stressing about the upcoming holidays? Maybe you're catching up on past-due bills due to the government shutdown?

The longest government shutdown in history has had a profound impact on daily living — no paychecks for government workers; disruption of SNAP benefits, which leaves millions of Americans food insecure; a steep rise in the cost of healthcare insurance; and thousands unable to travel because of flight delays and cancellations due to a lack of air traffic controllers and TSA agents charged with keeping the skies safe. Another View pundits Daun Hester, Gaylene Kanoyton, Allison Moore, and Dr. Eric Claville examine these issues, plus the impact of the "blue wave" in Virginia's latest election.

As the federal government shutdown continues, workers face the first pay period without compensation — what will be the impact on affected families? Plus, the Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General is in hot water over controversial text messages. Will this change the outcome of the race? And will voters turn out in record numbers as Virginia elects its first female governor here. The Another View Round Table pundits debate these and other issues and answer your questions.

It's a debate that happens frequently in Black households with a college-bound student — to attend a historically Black college or university (HBCU) or a predominately white institution (PWI)? Which type of college experience is better for an African-American student? Does legacy, smaller classes and culture override upgraded facilities, name recognition and a potentially wider professional network? We'll talk about the issue with two recent graduates who took very different higher educational paths, along with the director of counseling from a local high school who advises students on both options.

Vaccines — everyone's talking about them. But which ones should you get? Should your child be vaccinated? And how do you make the best decision for your family? Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby cuts through the noise and provides sound advice as we tackle the controversy surrounding vaccines.

Every Saturday since 2021, Move the Monument Coalition members protested to remove the Confederate statue standing in the town square of Edenton, NC since 1961.

Another View first told you about the statue and race relations in this idyllic town when we broadcast live from Edenton in 2023. Now, we bring you the latest chapter in the fight to end racism and make the town welcoming for all.
