An organization that teaches this art to young people is Poetry Out Loud, for which I've served as a national judge; today's co-host, Cat, participated as a performer, winning her region in New York. Her reading of Ozymandias reminded me of something so important: by taking on characters from classic works, we can find new power in being ourselves.

Community leaders urge Governor Reeves to sign a parole eligibility bill that's been sitting on his desk since the end of the legislative session.Then, while the arguments in the case against Initiative 65 focus on process, under the surface the subject of the matter - medical marijuana - is playing a significant role.Plus, this year's Poetry Out Loud competition might look different, but the result is familiar.Segment 1:A bill to expand parole eligibility in Mississippi is waiting to be signed into law by the Governor. It's a measure advocates say could reduce prison overcrowding, reduce corrections spending, and help reconnect families. Yet, since being passed with bi-partisan in the legislature weeks ago, the bill has remained in limbo awaiting a signature. Pastor C. J. Rhodes of Mount Helm Baptist Church in Jackson advocates for prison reform in Mississippi. He tells our Kobee Vance the bill provides the opportunity to restore families. Russ Latino, President of Empower Mississippi, says the bill would ease overcrowding, and free up needed resources to focus on those who actually pose a danger to communities.Segment 2:Initiative 65 - the constitutional amendment ballot referendum establishing a medical marijuana program in Mississippi - hangs in the balance following a Supreme Court hearing this month. It is one of many ballot referendums - some successful, some not - that have gone through the same process outlined by the Mississippi Constitution. Mississippi's Voter ID law passed the same way. Others - like the personhood amendment or Initiative 42 to fully fund the MAEP - failed but made it to the ballot in similar fashion. But 65 - with the controversial subject of medical marijuana lying under the surface - drawing the eye of scrutiny over the initiative process.Matt Steffey is a professor of Constitutional Law at the Mississippi College School of Law. In part two of his conversation with our Michael Guidry, Steffey argues once you look past the narrow argument of constructionist interpretation, the underlying factors behind the case rise to the surface.Segment 3:This year's Poetry Out Loud competition had a different feel to it due to the coronavirus pandemic. Contestants, who usually compete together in regional and state finals, presented their recitations alone - in front of cameras. But, rising to the top of a crowded field of 947 students was a familiar name and voice to the Mississippi Poetry Out Loud community - Morgan Love, who you just heard. The senior from the Mississippi School for the Arts followed her 2020 win by capturing this year's title. She shares more on her experience and what lies ahead with our Michael Guidry.

Winter is coming for the last time as Game of Thrones kicks off its final season tonight. And it's goodbye to Broad City and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, shows that were fearless in their hilarious depictions of young, female adulthood. Plus when is a country song not country enough? Fans and critics are divided over “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X. Also, a Burger King ad featuring diners with chopsticks sets off a controversy. Guests: Rachel Rubin - Professor of American studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Michael Jeffries - Associate professor of American studies at Wellesley College. Later in the show… It makes sense that in an era of tweets, Instagram and push notifications, poetry would make a comeback. The art of packaging worlds of meaning into succinct turns of phrase is perfect for the age of ever-shortening attention spans. It could be one reason the number of adults - and young people - reading poetry is higher than it's been in over 15 years. We're celebrating National Poetry Month with Poetry Out Loud champion Rose Hanson and nationally acclaimed poet Kwame Alexander. Guests: Kwame Alexander - Newbury Medal-winning author, poet and publisher. He is the author of The Undefeated. Rose Hansen – Sophomore at Norwell High School and the 2019 Massachusetts State Poetry Out Loud Competition champion.

When Dana Gioia was appointed Poet Laureate of California in 2015 he was invited to read in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento. But Gioia believes the role is to encourage poetry throughout the state. He has a mission: to visit every county in the state of California. There are 58, stretching from Del Norte 1,000 miles south to Imperial, bordering Mexico; from the Sierra mountains and redwood forests to the desert; densely populated Los Angeles (almost 10 million) to almost empty Modoc (fewer than 10,000); with established communities from Mexico and Europe joined recently by people from the Far East. Everywhere Gioia is joined by other poets and young people participating in Poetry Out Loud. For several years Gioia was Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts. One of his initiatives was this nationwide competition for young people to memorise and recite poems. It is astonishingly popular. 40-odd counties in, producer Julian May joins Gioia to create a radio road movie for Radio 3. Gioia reads in a pub yard in Mariposa, a gold-mining town, while humming birds dart and hover. A few days later Gioia hears of a huge wildfire coming within a mile of the wooden town. In a library in Madera, roasting in California's central valley, a woman from Peru recites a love poem in Spanish. In marches a squad of lads - military boots, buzzcuts. They are from the juvenile hall youth correctional facility. Each, says Officer Martinez, can recite a poem by heart. There is an event in Turlock, settled by Assyrians, another in San Diego near Mexico and, in his home county, Sonoma, Gioia appears at poetry event in a vineyard. All this, and more, in 'Every County in the State of California', a radio road movie. Presenter:Dana Gioia Producer: Julian May
