LEDE News columnist Amy Jo Hutchinson will join me to discuss several different topics, including the level of poverty that exists right here in the Upper Ohio Valley, the organizations that are attempting to offer residents food security, the upcoming school year, and the precautions she expects to be in place and her reasons for fighting for the For the People Act in our nation’s capital.

The co-founder of the Heritage Bluesfest, Bruce Wheeler, will return to the show to talk about the upcoming three-day festival that is only two weeks away. We’ll discuss the artists in the lineup, the local performers set for the second stage, the “Blues Week” in Wheeling, and how it began 21 years ago at Heritage Port.
