Two state agencies have released a report recommending that fracking be allowed in western Maryland – but only if restrictions are put on drilling. We talk with the Chairman of a commission that advised on the report about fracking standards and what we might expect from Governor-elect Larry Hogan. Then, ‘Tis the season for The Nutcracker. The famous ballet has a slew of upcoming local productions and Tom Hall talks with the folks behind two of them. Plus, Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck tells us whether "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play”, lives up to the movie’s classic status. And  for the many people who’ve lost loved ones this year, the holidays can be a difficult time. We talk about dealing with grief and mourning with bereavement counselor Beth Hewett.
