Instead of being unplugged as he is in the newspaper, we offer him a bullhorn. Sort of. http://wbhm.org/News/2009/Archibald.html Each week we'll hear an update on political happenings in Birmingham and Jefferson County from Kyle Whitmire, staff writer and columnist for Birmingham Weekly. He joins WBHM's Bradley George Wednesdays on All Things Considered. http://wbhm.org/News/2009/Whitmire.html This month on Tapestry, storytelling from Alabama's Kathryn Tucker Windham.

We invite you to call, e-mail, or tweet your thoughts on the topics affecting gay and lesbian life in Alabama. http://wbhm.org/News/2009/otl-gaystraight.html 'Don't ask, don't tell' is a phrase often associated with the military. But it also applies to the lives of gay and lesbian civilians living in Alabama. Those who are out face possible discrimination. Others spend their lives hiding their true selves. http://wbhm.org/News/2009/silence.html This week on Tapestry, City Stages comes to an end -- the music festival is going out of business.
