On today’s show, Atlantic columnist James Fallows joins us to talk about his new American Futuresproject, which has him reporting on issues inFresno and the San Joaquin Valley.  We’ll also dig into the roots of the conflict within the Chukchansitribe in Madera County, six months after their casino was forced to close after an armed takeover by a tribal faction. 

Later, we’ll learn about thousands of residents of a Mariposa county town who are about to run out of water – despite living between two lakes. We’ll also find out more about the plans in Kern County that could result in the privatization of that county’s public library. Ending the program jazz musician Carmen Bradford about her performance with the Count Basie Orchestra at the Visalia Fox Theatre Saturday March 21, 2015
