Sue Fox spent more than three decades struggling with addiction before finding recovery in 2016 while in prison.

We offer a pair of Caroline Dupont interviews, one reminding us that regardless of our politics, we do all have important things in common. The other is about a remarkable video series hosted by a professional mediator who sits avowed enemies across from one another and brings them to a point of understanding.
Lee Carroll joins us to talk about an amazing mashup of world cultures in one Kentucky recording project from the folks at Greenroom Exchange. The music, composed by Carroll, blends the music of India performed by Vishnu R. on his one-of-its-kind stringed instrument and American jazz and pop with a little reggae thrown in for good measure. The band also features Grammy-winning violinist Zach Brock, drummer John Knight and bassist Danny Cecil, and will be performed live in Lexington in late July.
