With tens of thousands of Marylanders in foreclosure, today we'll hear about two remediation programs: the National Mortgage Settlement, which could bring principal reduction to distressed borrowers, and the Independent Foreclosure Review, which could put your mortgage in front of a neutral third party to look for the bank's mistakes and potentially get you some financial compensation from your servicer. Deadlines for both are looming.

Writer Daniel Torday talks with Sheilah about his novella, The Sensualist, which paints an unsettling portrait of teenage life in 1990s Pikesville.

Tom Hall talks with former Maryland poet laureate Michael Collier about his latest collection of poems, An Individual History.
