- We meet a devoted choral group that gathers to keep alive the centuries-old American tradition of shape note singing known as Sacred Harp Music.
- We visit with Bob Benson, a modern day Renaissance man and former radio announcer who later in life discovered what may be his true calling: making art with mirrors and glass.
- Joyce Lewis was a career woman, a mother, and a Sunday school teacher. She was also secretly addicted to crack cocaine. We talk with Joyce about the soul-searching that led her to finally come clean about the drugs, and she’ll share the poetry that’s been helping her on the road to recovery.
