We begin the morning on Tuesday at 9:00 with This Day In History, and then ...
... stay tuned for a Local News Roundtable! Topics will include tonight's gubernatorial debate, the Black Guerilla Family arrests, and the emerging Black / Latino crisis in Baltimore. Our panel of guests will be: Melody Simmons, independent journalist and reporter for the Baltimore Brew with over 35 years of journalism experience; Marshall Bell, Host of Midday Magazine with Marshall Bell on WOLB-AM, managing partner of The Bell Group, LLC, and author of the novel Baltimore Blues: Harm City; and Jason Rodriguez, Technical and Editing Manager for DMV Daily.
Stay tuned at 10:00 for a special episode of Sound Bites! We listen in on the informative and lively town hall meeting that took place on May 15 at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, featuring my interview with Christopher Leonard about his new book The Meat Racket: The Secret Takeover of America's Food Business. Leonard, an investigative reporter, went looking to do a profile on the premier family in the poultry business, and was surprised at what he learned in the process. The Meat Racket reveals the inner workings of the corporations that control the food business, and the power in Washington of the meat and poultry lobbies.
The town hall meeting was co-sponsored by The Marc Steiner Show/Center for Emerging Media, Food & Water Watch, Assateague Coastkeeper, and Baltimore GreenWorks.
Mark your calendar for our next Good Food Gathering Town Hall, June 12 at 7:00pm, at the Franciscan Center, 101 W. 23rd Street in Baltimore, in conjunction with the Food & Faith Project at Johns Hopkins' Center for Livable Future. We will talk about "Donating Well," and discuss creative ways to provide fresh healthy food to our communities. Our panel of guests will include Christian Metzger, Executive Director of the Franciscan Center, and Arthur Morgan of Gather Baltimore and the Hamilton Crop Circle.
