Michael Harrington’s winning design is featured on the newest edition of WBHM’s pint glass for the Fall 2015 fund drive.  For a contribution of just $7.50/month or a one time contribution of $90.00, this pint glass is a wonderful reminder of your support of public radio for Birmingham and North Central Alabama,

 

Here’s two brief interviews with Michael Harrington describing his design and talking about why he supports public radio:

The divorce between the U.S. and WHO is final this week. Or is it?

The U.S. is the only country allowed to withdraw from the World Health Organization. And Jan. 22 is the day when Trump's pullout announcement should go into effect. But ... it's complicated.

Trump’s Board of Peace has several invited leaders trying to figure out how it’ll work

Polyester clothing has been causing a stir online. But how valid are the concerns?

There has been a lot of conversation on social media about the downsides of polyester. But are those downsides as bad as they're believed to be? Are there upsides?

Trump promised to cut energy bills in half. One year later, has he delivered?

Cheap gasoline, yes. Drill, baby, drill? Not so much. And electricity bills are going up, not down.
