International Student Exchange ~ Flag Symbolism ~ The Overnighters

Tuesday, June 30 – The International Student Exchange brings in high school students from over 40 different countries and places them with local families. The organization is currently looking for host families, and here to tell us about it is Teresa Knapp, who has been hosting students since 1990 and now has numerous “sons and daughters” around the globe. 844-556-6688  ~~~ Anyone who has watched the news over the past week knows the fervor on both sides of the Confederate flag debate. Why does this flag – and really any symbol – hold so much power in our culture and society? We share an interview with Clay Routledge, NDSU associate professor of psychology, who appeared today on Georgia Public Radio’s “On Second Thought,” with host Celeste Headlee. ~~~ An interview with Jesse Moss, producer of “The Overnighters,” a film about the Williston Church that took in homeless men at the height of the oil boom. It’s airing tonight on our television service, at 8 Central on POV. ~~~ Ron Smith is here to answer some recent lawn and garden questions from listeners.
