»5/13/08 Be-Longing Las Vegas: Mr Happiness We continue our look into the challenges we face when building a sense of community in this region. We hear what it takes to overcome the fear of the unknown and actually reach out to strangers in a time and place when too many Americans are reluctant to do so.
     And, in the second hour: One Thousand Places to See The Isle of Skye, cherry blossoms in Japan and Machu Picchu are just a few of the must-see places in this lifetime. Is Las Vegas on the list?

»5/12/08 Be-Longing Las Vegas: Blue Diamond We'll look at the small, tight-knit community of Blue Diamond, which is fighting the sort of development that has swallowed the Las Vegas Valley.
     And, in the second hour: Foreclosure and Children In the wake of the recent foreclosure crisis, children are not only losing their homes, but their schools and friends. We'll talk about a recently released report by Focus, a children's advocacy group calling children the "voiceless victims" of this economic downturn.

»5/9/08 African-American / Latino Relations We speak to Las Vegas Weekly writer Damon Hodge about his recent essay on tensions between Hispanics and African Americans in some neighborhoods. Hodge wondered if it's a symptom of growth, or sign of greater troubles to come. Michael Squires hosts.
     And, in the second hour: Endoscopy Center Update Southern Nevada Health District Senior Epidemiologist Brian Labus joins us to give the latest on the Hepatitis C outbreak. Michael Squires hosts.

»5/8/08 Green Jobs We talk with a Nevada homeowner who is suing his mortgage lenders, claiming they fraudulently lent him money to refinance his home. Then we discuss the growing number of "green," environmentally driven jobs in this region.
     And, in the second hour: Masterworks V LVRJ columnist John L Smith also joins us to discuss why he believes the Gibbons' divorce is not a private matter, no matter the arguments offered by surrogates of the Nevada governor. And we'll speak with Las Vegas Philharmonic musical director David Itkin about Saturday's upcoming concert at UNLV's Artemus Ham Concert Hall.
