This week, CIA Director John Brennan met with Birmingham City School students as part of a self-described crusade to make the agency more diverse. That’s one story in the latest Weld for Birmingham. Editor Nick Patterson joins us most Thursdays to discuss Weld’s top stories. He tells WBHM’s Dan Carsen about Brennan’s visit, and about Weld’s cover story on the United Way and area nonprofit groups. Their conversation ranges from the United Way to the CIA, whose director made himself accessible to students … within reason.
