Across America, big cities and small towns are experimenting with municipal broadband projects. Some provide free service in select hot spots; others tried massive build-outs of wireless networks citywide. Join Kojo to examine what's been done locally, why some have failed, some have succeeded, and what might best be seen as sound municipal broadband policy.

Carbon is one of the key building blocks of life as we know it. It can be found in human DNA, in tennis rackets, and in the bubbles of popular soft drinks. But "carbon footprint" has also become one the buzz phrases in the debate over how best to reduce pollution that contributes to global warming. Join Kojo as we look at the importance of this core element -- and the role it plays in our planet's health.
