Storyteller, Leonard Lee Smith

Arc Stories

Imagine sitting around the dinner table with your closest friends. You’ve just cleared the dishes, and you’re moving on to coffee, or possibly a glass of wine. Someone says: you’ll never believe what happened to me today. Listen to this… Arc Stories features live storytelling from right here in Birmingham. No notes, no outlines. Just great storytellers sharing great (true) stories. Sometimes funny, sometimes moving, and always engaging.

(The audio refers to the program as Arc Light Stories — the previous name of the program.)

(Originally aired Thursday February 19, 2015 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.)

The U.S. could use ‘bunker buster’ bombs in Iran. Here’s what to know about them

Iran's most fortified nuclear facility, called Fordow, is buried deep inside a mountain. Only the U.S. has the 30,000-pound bombs — often referred to as "bunker busters" — capable of reaching it.

If a U.S. ‘bunker buster’ hits a nuclear site, what might get released into the air?

So far, strikes on Iran's facilities have created limited chemical and radiological hazards. Experts say that's not likely to change even if the U.S. uses a big bomb.

Pro-Trump media figures split over the U.S. role in the Israel-Iran conflict

Many of President Trump's nominal media allies are breaking with him over his backing of Israel, arguing it will lead to a wider war.
