A conversation with punk-rock firebrand Ian Svenonius, who exploded onto the music scene in the 1980s with a frenetic, high-octane band called "Nation of Ulysses."  He’s been burning bright ever since, fronting groups like "The Make-Up" and "Chain and the Gang," and he’s just written a book called "Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock ‘n’ Roll Group."

Kevin “Kal” Kallaugher has been poking fun at political leaders since the days of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. As he marks 35 years as an editorial cartoonist, he joins us to talk about his favorite subjects, his new book, and the resilient art of the political cartoon.

Honkey tonk singer/songwriter Karen Collins talks about her childhood as a West Virginia coal miner’s daughter and shares music from her new album, “No Yodeling on the Radio”.
