"Archenemesis’s music can be described as electro hip-hop soul, but this title is limiting because his sound is constantly evolving and taking new forms. With an initial influence and love of jazz, Curt Heiny, the genius behind the Archnemesis name, uses his skills as an electronic music producer to blend a variety of genres. Archnemesis has a full tour schedule this year, but was able to make a stop here in Tuscaloosa. Before his performance he sat down with me to discuss his influences, inspirations and drive for making music."

Dr. Michael B.A. Oldstone, the head of the Viral-Immunobiology Laboratory at the Scripps Research Institute and an University of Alabama adjunct professor called the initial response of Western nations to the Ebola crisis as being weak and "outrageous." He also also blamed President Barack Obama and the Republican controlled Congress for not fully funding the National Institute of Health; something that Oldstone thinks has limited the response to the spread of the disease.

Evan Higginbotham is a junior, majoring in psychology at the University of Alabama. He is also transgender and was recently the focus of a Crimson White cover-story, "The Person I Was Born To Be". Born a woman, Higginbotham first felt that he was male around the age of 3. But it wasn't until 2013, when Higginbotham was 30 years old that he first started taking testosterone shots. After years of drug and alcohol abuse, he says that his life has been changed and that now has a goal- helping other transgender people.
Hannah Widener is a CW reporter who wrote the article about Higginbotham (along with Francie Johnson) and also joined in on the conversation.
This is part two of a two part conversation that was originally broadcast on Capstone News Now on WVUA-FM in Tuscaloosa, AL on Oct, 21 2014.

Carol Gundlach, a policy analyst for Arise Citizens' Policy Project is the author of a new whitepaper, "The Growing Divide: Alabama's Income Gap Is Approaching Gilded Age Levels". Gundlach argues in the piece that the widening gap between rich and poor is bad for the overall health of the economy.
Some highlights from Gundlach's report:
-"Between 1979 and 2007, the top 1 percent of Alabamians saw income growth of 158.8 percent, while the incomes of everyone else grew on average by only 20.5 percent.
-Between 2009 and 2011, all income growth in Alabama accrued to the richest 1 percent of the state’s population.
-Between 2008 and 2012, the top fifth of Alabamians held more than half of the state’s total income, and the top 5 percent alone held 21.4 percent.
-In 22 Alabama counties, the share of income held by the top 5 percent exceeded the state average. In six of those – Clarke, Conecuh, Jefferson, Lamar, Lowndes and Randolph – that share topped 24 percent."
