November 4th & 5th, 2011, on The Signal…

Tracy Miller is the mother of fallen US Marine Corporal Nicholas Zielkowski.  He was killed in combat in Iraq in 2004.  This year, he’s been memorialized in song.  We talk with Tracy about her son, and we meet Michael Beresh, the musician who took it upon himself to make sure Nicholas’ memory is preserved.

We meet Geoffrey Welchman, host and writer of “The Inverse Delirium,” a podcast that pokes gentle fun at public radio and life in “This American Baltimore.”

Plus:  MICA students are building an innovative emergency shelter for victims of natural disasters.  We hear about their recent expedition to Haiti and tour the site where their new prototype is under construction.
