To honor Black History Month, Silagh White profiles Nate "The Mime" Moran who recently published his book The Mime Speaks, showcasing his remarkable story of struggle and why his motto is “Never Give Up.” Bathsheba Monk with Blue Heron Books in Allentown, which is publishing the book, also joins the conversation and describes the process and challenges of bringing a story like Nate's to bookshelves.

Dr. Silagh White welcomes Dr. Joy Hirokawa, Founder and Director of the Bel Canto Youth Chorus, and discusses their recent program highlighting the Underground Railroad and a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day performance in his honor.

Host Silagh White is joined by Mark Stutz, Director of Visual and Performing Arts for Parkland School District, and Justin Amann, Director of the Freedom High School Theatre Company. They discuss how the pandemic has affected student productions, what is missed, and, perhaps more importantly, what they have gained in adapting their programs to keep kids safely engaged.  

Silagh White looks at the new exhibition at the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem: "Machines of Interest - The Selected Works of Stephen Mallon." Silagh talks with photographer Stephen Mallon as well as NMIH's Curator of Collections, Andria Zaia.
