Instead of being unplugged as he is in the newspaper, we offer him a bullhorn. Sort of. Local Government Update http://wbhm.org/News/2008/Whitmire.html Each week we'll hear an update on political happenings in Birmingham and Jefferson County from Kyle Whitmire, staff writer and columnist for Birmingham Weekly. He joins WBHM's Andrew Yeager Wednesdays on All Things Considered. Magic City Marketplace http://wbhm.org/News/2008/Magic_City_Marketplace.html The Birmingham marketplace is connected by people who have to grapple with numbers and projections and spin. We try and slice through the psychobabble that can be business news with our occasional segment featuring the editor of the Birmingham Business Journal. Election 2008: National Conventions http://wbhm.org/News/2008/election_natlconvention.html Democratic Party officials from Alabama and across the country will assemble Monday in Denver for that party's national convention. Republicans will do the same a week later in the Twin Cities. At the top of the "to do" list is nominating the presidential candidates, but there's more to the convention than roll call votes. Anniston Update http://wbhm.org/News/2008/anniston.html Every month we'll hear from the staff of The Anniston Star about an issue of importance to the community around Anniston and Calhoun County. Join WBHM's Andrew Yeager for these engaging conversations. August 21, 2008 http://wbhm.org/Tapestry/Aug21-08.html This week on Tapestry a conversation with jazzman Ray Reach. Also, the powerful music of Jennifer Daniels and Birmingham singer/songwriter Simone Durand. Remembering Lou http://wbhm.org/News/2008/Remembering_Lou.html Lou's Pub and Package Store is reopening today after its owner and namesake, Louis Zaden died at his home late last week. The place has been dark the past five days, yet regular customers have been holding court every afternoon and evening on its patio since the news of Lou's death broke. WBHM's Steve Chiotakis was one of those regulars who celebrated the life - and the cantankerous personality - of the man so many grew to love.
