Alexandria recently decided to join Virginia's "dangerous dogs" registry, a statewide list that gives information on any dogs that have bitten people or other animals. Supporters say it's an important public safety measure. But others question whether the list violates the privacy of owners. Join Kojo as we explore the emotionally-charged debate.

The "Potomac Primary" is long past, but at least one Maryland voter is still being heavily courted: U.S. Senator Benjamin Cardin, one of the highest-profile uncommitted "superdelegates" in our region. Senator Cardin sits down with Kojo to talk presidential politics, the Maryland economy, and the regional foreclosure crisis.

This month, a California judge issued an order to take down Wikileaks.org, a controversial website allowing users to anonymously leak secret documents online. Now privacy activists are concerned the decision could stifle speech on the web and discourage whistle-blowers. Kojo explores a case some are calling the Internet's version of the "Pentagon Papers".

Alberta Hunter may be the best blues & jazz performer you've never heard of. Born in Memphis in 1895, she launched a professional singing career before the age of 15, but ultimately gave it up to be a nurse. We hear about a new play that tells Hunter's story -- especially how she returned to performing in her eighties and entertained at a Greenwich Village hotspot until her death at 89.
