There's so much going on- affecting so many! On this month's edition of the Roundtable, pundits Daun Hester, Gaylene Kanoyton, Bill Thomas, and Allison Moore join guest host Lisa Godley to look at what's happening in Washington. Massive layoffs at countless federal agencies. Potential cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and Elon Musk says, "They're a primary target when it comes to reducing waste and fraud." Tariffs are being imposed which economists say will do more harm than good. What is happening in Washington? The pundits weigh in on this edition of the Another View Roundtable. This and all Another View Programs can be heard on demand on the AV page.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
