Baltimore is seeing a 40% increase in homicides and a 60% increase in shootings this year compared to the same time last year. What's causing the spike, and how can it be eliminated? We ask Tessa Hill-Aston of the NAACP and City Councilman Brandon Scott.

Then, some of Baltimore's most iconic gay bars have closed, or will soon. We talk about the role of gay bars in gay life with the owner of the Mt. Vernon neighborhood’s Grand Central and with the program coordinator of The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, & Transgender Community Center of Baltimore and Central MD.

Plus, how has sex therapy changed in the last five decades? Tom Hall talks with sex therapist Lois Feinblatt, at 94, still seeing patients at Johns Hopkins.
