Another View The Radio Show Podcast

We have so much to talk about and so little time, but the ladies who make up the Another View Round Table are back in the studio and ready to share their thoughts. Topping the discussion will be Donald Trump. He's the only current or former president to be indicted on criminal charges. What does all this mean for his political future and for the 2024 presidential election? There are very few places you can go where people aren't talking about the Montgomery Brawl. We'll be discussing it as well! Also, affirmative action was established to improve opportunities for people who've been subjected to discrimination. Now that the Supreme Court says colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration, what will that mean for diversity on college campuses? Finally, we're dealing with a lot these days when it come to our mental and emotional health. Our ladies will share what they do to keep things in check. Guest Host and Another View Producer Lisa Godley talks to round table pundits: Daun Hester

It's been a staple of Another View since the very beginning - the Another View Round Table. The original radio pundits - Roger Chesley, Bill Thomas, Wil LaVeist and Carol Pretlow - are back for a "throw back Thursday" edition of the show! Some of your favorite folks share wit and wisdom on issues affecting us today, including recent Supreme Court rulings and the impact on the African American community.

Another View is entering its 13th year on WHRV-FM! Thank you, listeners and supporters of our program! It is because of your support that we continue to "discuss today's issues from an African-American perspective". To celebrate, we have an hour of storytelling time! Professional storytellers join us to share some tales in preparation for the upcoming Hampton Storytelling Festival.

Despite the "quit smoking" campaigns and social stigma surrounding the habit, African Americans are second only to Native Americans and Alaska Natives in the number of people who still smoke. And of African Americans who still light up, three in four smoke menthol cigarettes; menthol makes it easier to start - and harder to quit - smoking. Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby and Rita Miller, Tobacco Use and Dependence Treatment Coordinator with the Virginia Department of Health, talk about the dangers of smoking and offer specific ways to quit.

What do the cities of Nashville, Sacramento, Boston, Memphis, and Norfolk have in common? They have all hired African American police chiefs. And all of these "top cops" had a negative run-in with law enforcement in their youth. Now they, among many others, have decided to change the culture of policing from the inside, amid backlash from officers and the Black community. On one of his final interviews before leaving Hampton Roads, former Norfolk police chief Larry Boone talks about the challenges of "policing while Black"; changing the attitudes and biases of overzealous officers, while at the same time convincing Black and Brown communties that change is possible but takes time. As one police chief put it, "I'd be called a coon, a sellout, Uncle Tom by the Black community. I'd be discriminated against in many different ways by non-Black communities". So why do they do it? Chief Larry Boone shares candid insight with Another View.

Dr. Jajuan Johnson from William and Mary shares the history of the historic event that emancipated enslaved African Americans in this country. And, we broadcast live from our parking lot with food trucks chock full of cuisine unique to the occasion!

What do you do when you need a certain medication but the monthly cost is beyond what you can afford? Do you skip getting the prescription filled? Purchase the drug but cut the pills in half to make the medicine last longer? Purchase the drug, and cut down on groceries? It's a dilemma facing many of us today as the cost of prescription medications continues to rise. We'll talk about prescription drug costs and offer practical ways your body and your wallet can both stay healthy.

Women in general, and Black women in particular, carry so much on their shoulders - from raising kids, to taking care of the household, to caring for others. Add to that, discrimination, racism and other forms of stress in the workplace, and you have a recipe for mental health concerns.We talk with Charese Josie, LCSW and therapist who specializes in helping women leaders set boundaries and find peace. She will share ways to help you be authentically YOU!

Should Thomas Jefferson be culturally "cancelled" because he was a slave owner? Has the pendulum swung too far in efforts to create inclusive history? Is the perceived division in our country nationwide, or just a phenomenon of our east and west coasts? We jear an intimate conversation with humanities scholar, educator and author, Clay Jenkinson! We'll talk about Jefferson's place in history today and about Clay's new show, "Listening to America", where he searches for the soul of our nation.

Founded in 1776, First Baptist Church, Williamsburg is home to one of the oldest African American congregations in America. It was started by enslaved and free Blacks who wanted to worship God in their own way. Much of the history of the church was untold, until now! On the next Another View we will share what has literally been unearthed about this important part of America's history.

It's Another View on Health - Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby joins us to talk about Atrial Fibrillation, or AFib. While this heart condition is found less frequently in African Americans as compared to whites, Blacks are more liikely to sufer a stroke or other medical complication because of it. Dr. Newby shares the causes, symptoms and treatment for AFib, and Sebastian Morris shares his story of living with this heart condition.

Curls, braids, locs, twists, straight - many African Americans have embraced their natural hair and style it in creative ways. But not everyone is on board with the natural look, particularly in the workplace. In fact, 16 states have gone so far as to enact the Crown Act to protect against hair discrimination. We talk about societal attitudes about Black hair and why women - and men - are fighting for the freedom to wear their hair as they choose.

Nashville school mass shooting. Trump indictment. The Tennessee Three. Louisville bank mass shooting. Basketball disparities. Abortion medication under fire. Restoration of rights in Virginia. And the list goes on. The R&B group, the Temptations, sang about our world as a "ball of confusion" in 1970. Has much changed since then? The AV Round Table pundits Alvean Lyons, Daun Hester and Gaylene Kanoyton share insight and perspective on events affecting all of us.

If women make up more than half the US population, control or influence 85% of consumer spending, and have $5-$15 trillion in purchasing power, why are fewer than 15% multi-millionaires? Could it be the way women are socialized concerning money, that is it not to be discussed in polite company, let alone actively engaging in building wealth? Entrepreneur, philanthropist and author Dr. Angela Reddix says it's high time women take control of their finances, build wealth and create a legacy for future generations. Her book is called "She's Got the Power: Women Building Wealth Through Financial Literacy and Sisterhood".

For women, it's supposed to be a natural part of the life cycle - becoming pregnant and delivering a healthy baby. Yet Black women are three times more likely to die from maternal complications than white women, and Black infants have the highest mortality rate of any race or ethnicity in this country. Why are so many African American women and their children dying? We explore reasons behind the high rates of maternal and infant mortality and what can be done to reverse the growing trend with our guests, Dr. Edward Karotkin, Professor of Pediatrics at EVMS, along with LaVern Morris who spearheaded the Resource Mothers initiative. They will share the results of a study they conducted with this vunerable population.

We've heard about the journalistic contributions of women like Ida B. Wells and Belva Davis - African American journalists who broke the color barrier and brought issues of the Black community to light through media. But what about the women who carried the banner post the Civil Rights movement of the 60's? We talk with journalist and author Bonnie Newman Davis about her new book, "Truth Tellers: The Power and Presence of Black Women Journalists since 1960". Davis chronicles the lives of 24 African American female journalists who "courageously bore the burden of being a Black woman in America's newsrooms", both print and broacast.
