April 10th Show

Last month, a 16-year-old girl called a family abuse center in Texas and reported she'd been sexually abused by a 50-year-old man who she said was her husband. The call sparked a government raid on the the Texas compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and police removed hundreds of women and children. In our first hour, a San Antonio reporter will give an update on what has been happening in the case, and an Atlanta attorney will talk about the legal history of polygamy. At the end of the hour two, the manager at the Regus Express in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport suggests ways you can kill time when your flight gets canceled. And author Pico Iyer returns to the show. He's on a book tour, and knows all about killing time in the airport.

For our full second hour, we'll hear music from bassist Marcus Miller and his band. His latest CD is entitled "Marcus" and Studio 4A is his next stop on his North American tour. If you're not familiar with Marcus or his music, please see my upcoming blog entitled, I Heart Marcus Miller.

Sit back, and enjoy.
