13:06Virginia Politics Update

Last month, Virginia Republican John Warner announced his retirement from the U.S. Senate, setting off a wave of speculation and political jockeying within the Commonwealth. Today former Governor Mark Warner, who's a Democrat, announced he's running for the open seat. We explore how the race is shaping up, and how it will affect national, state and local elections.

13:20Journalist Michel Martin

She's covered lots of big stories -- from White House political intrigue to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But Michel Martin's work also focuses on stories just below the surface, like the lives of students in inner-city schools or children's attitudes toward race. Now host of NPR's, "Tell Me More," she joins Kojo to reflect on the anecdotes and backstories behind the headlines of her 25 years in journalism.
