Baltimore’s “Mobtown” nickname is often attributed to the 1861 Pratt Street Riot at the start of the Civil War. Today we’ll go back to 1835 with historian Robert Shalhope, author of “The Baltimore Bank Riot,” and hear how that disturbance foreshadowed the financial crisis of 2008.

Then, journalist Lisa Ling appears tomorrow night at Stevenson University's Baltimore Speakers Series. Today, we'll ask her about the challenging and uncomfortable issues she covers on the Oprah Winfrey Network’s "Our America."

And, theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck reviews "Love, Loss and What I Wore" at the Fells Point Corner Theatre.

Plus, Johns Hopkins oncologist Tom Smith talks about discussing the idea of end of life with patients and how to help people make plans.
