In 1988, after two terms in office, Ronald Wilson Reagan left the White House, one of the most popular presidents of the twentieth century -- and one of the most controversial. A failed actor, Reagan became a passionate ideologue who preached a simple gospel of lower taxes, less government and anti-Communism. One by one, his opponents underestimated him; one-by-one, Reagan surprised them, rising to become a president who always preferred to see America as a shining city on a hill.

Now, as the 2024 presidential election approaches, in an hour-long special Judy will sit down with big thinkers and an audience of regular people to explain what we've learned about America's divisions, what we're still grasping to better understand, and what might be done to move forward.

Education Matters aims to provide the public with real facts about the state of public education in North Carolina. The weekly television show explores everything from the history of public education to the impact of legislation and policy decisions on our public schools. Education Matters is hosted by Keith Poston, President & Executive Director of the Public School Forum of North Carolina. "With this show we want to get away from a traditional he said/she said format, having two pundits on either side of an issue highlighting opposing extremes," said Poston. "Education Matters will be an opportunity for viewers to hear directly from subject-matter experts and real front-line educators as they navigate everything from funding challenges, teacher recruitment, and the impact of poverty on student learning, to testing, academic standards, and the major racial and ethnic shifts in the student population." "One of our primary goals is to help the public understand how education policy plays out in our schools, and what kind of impact these policies are having on our students and teachers," said Poston. "Education Matters will provide a window into the classroom that is often lacking from typical media coverage or political debates."
Award-winning veteran journalists Ellen Clegg and Dan Kennedy discuss the way forward for the Fourth Estate and outline its role in preserving democracy in their book "What Works in Community News."
Just this month, billionaire immigrant and Republican mega donor Elon Musk amplified a post that seemed to suggest that the system would work better if voting was restricted only to "high status men." Voting should be simple, but we're seeing more and more barriers - especially for BIPOC voters - this election. From purges of the rolls, to efforts to eliminate same-day voter registration, new voter-ID laws, and vigilante style "election integrity" watchdogs turning up at the polls, voters in many states and tribal nations face serious challenges they're working hard to overcome. What's it all mean for the candidates and, more importantly, the millions of eligible voters of color whose ability to cast their vote could ultimately decide the outcome of this election? For this episode of our monthly feature, Meet the BIPOC Press, Laura is joined by co-host Kadia Tubman of the Scripps News broadcast network, along with guests Chenjerai Kumanyika, NYU journalism professor and host of Empire City, a gripping new podcast on the origins of the NY police, and investigative journalist Christopher Lomahquahu of the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism within the Cronkite School at Arizona State University. Together we investigate who gets to vote safely, and who is being excluded from participating in democracy. Will all who want to vote be able to? ". . . Voter disenfranchisement has been so consistent that we might as well go ahead and call it a principle of American so-called democracy. Even in the constitutional convention, we know that there were efforts to make sure that not everyone can vote." - Chenjerai Kumanyika ". . . It wasn't until a hundred years ago that Native Americans were granted citizenship in this country . . . With the [groups] Western Native Voice, Arizona Native Vote, other organizations that you're finding across these different states, they understand that history but it hasn't deterred them from looking ahead as far as what they can do to activate those other voters, especially the youth . . ." - Christopher Lomahquahu (Akimel O'odham/Hopi) "Whenever I report on or hear about election integrity or election security, the phrase 'safe and secure' seems to tag along. It's almost like it's replacing the term free and fair elections . . ." - Kadia Tubman Guests: Chenjerai Kumanyika: Host, Empire City & NYU Professor; Christopher Lomahquahu (Akimel O'odham/Hopi): Investigative Reporter, ASU Howard Center for Investigative Journalism; Kadia Tubman: Disinformation Correspondent, Scripps News

Joseph heads back to his first African adventure when he safaris through South Africa for close encounters with its animals and people. His journey begins in Cape Town, South Africa's mother city, so called because it's the country's oldest. Then in the shadow of the city's landmark Table Mountain, he visits South Africa's oldest wine country and samples some of South Africa's finest wines. While we can expect to find lions and elephants on Joseph's African journey, at the Cape of Good Hope Joseph also introduces us to ostriches and a colony of three thousand African Penguins. The climax of the episode is Joseph's safari at Shamwari Game Reserve, a 61,000 acre preserve. Equally as inspiring as Joseph's experience being surrounded by the multitude of Shamwari's amazing animal residents is his experience in Alicedale, an abandoned rail town on the edge of the reserve. There he learns that sustainable tourism, attracted by the game reserve, has given the people new hope. In a dramatic moment of illustrated truth, Joseph's South African journey teaches us that although predators kill by instinct, people choose whether to attack or embrace each other and choice is what makes us human and allows us to celebrate our connection.
