Low Income Baltimore Housing; The Ethics Of Eating; "Last Of The Boys" Review; One-Hit Wonder Novel

Jonna McKone

Change is on the way in Baltimore’s public housing. RAD is the Rental Assistance Demonstration program. Will it bring private money into the city's rundown public dwellings or make those units unaffordable? We hear what’s at stake from the housing authority, critics and long-time residents. Then, how can we eat in an ethical way? Tom Hall asks Dr. Ruth Faden, of the Johns Hopkins ‘Berman Institute of Bioethics,’ about how our eating habits affect our environment. 

Plus: Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck reviews  "Last of the Boys", a play about the Vietnam War’s impact on those who fought and those left behind. Also, Baltimore native Andy Abramowitz tells us about his funny debut novel, Thank You, Goodnight… about a one-hit-wonder songwriter re-uniting his band and figuring out his values.
