CleanAnatomy of a Superhero | Segment A: The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir Batman is a crime-fighting vigilante with a tragic past, a lawless attitude, and a seemingly endless supply of high-tech gadgetry. In his new book, "The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir", Michael Uslan recalls his journey from early childhood fandom through to the decades he spent on a caped crusade of his own: to bring Batman to the silver screen as the dark, serious character he was at heart. Uslan's story traces his path from the wilds of New Jersey to the limelight of Hollywood, following his work as Executive Producer on every Batman film from Tim Burton's 1989 re-envisioning to 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. Through it all, he helped to create one of the most successful pop culture franchises of all time. Segment B: The Man of Steel: Superman Exposed His only weakness is Kryptonite, but some will argue that humanity itself is his greatest one. The Man of Steel, Superman, has been around since his comic debut in 1938 through many incarnations. In this half of the program, we'll examine why this iconic character has endured through interviews with two authors, Tom DeHaven and his book "Our Hero: Superman on Earth," and Danny Fingeroth with "Superman on the Couch." | 10/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanCondo Convenience | Living in a condominium is all about convenience-- maintenance-free, amenity-rich living. But there are community association rules to follow and condo ownership may not be for everyone. In fact, a community association may even take away your home for not paying maintenance fees. Today we'll get a view of condo living and explore any changes in the laws of owning one. Our guests will also talk about what you should know if you are considering a condo and take your questions related to the one you might already own. The Southeastern Virginia Chapter of the Community Associations Institute is holding its 25th annual Trade Show & Education Expo (CA DAY 2011) for community associations on Saturday, February 5, 2011 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center in Virginia Beach. CA DAY is from 7:30am until 4:30pm, registration starts at 7:30 am. For more information visit - www.sevacai.org. | 1/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanAn Interview with Shirley Sherrod - UPDATED! Civil Rights Conversations In America Today - UPDATED! | An Interview with Shirley Sherrod - UPDATED! Former USDA Official Shirley Sherrod is the keynote speaker for Old Dominion University's Martin Luther King Jr. Day program at the university tonight. Sherrod has spent her career working on racial justice issues. Last year, she worked as the Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and was forced to resign amid controversial remarks. A blogger had posted remarks Sherrod had made out of context which implied she discriminated against a white farmer. Subsequent events showed that the posted video was taken out of context and, in fact, was a part of broader comments that conveyed a completely different meaning. The NAACP apologized for its critical comments, and her boss at the USDA also apologized, offering her another job, which she declined. Sherrod will speak about that issue, as well as other events in her life that have helped shape her beliefs in racial justice and equality, at ODU's MLK Day event at 7:30 p.m. at the university's Webb Center. The event is free and open to the public. For more information call 683-5759. Civil Rights Conversations In America Today - UPDATED! What is the current state of the Civil Rights conversation today in America? In the second-half of our program, we'll talk with Nichelle Smith, Custom Content Editor for Gannett ContentOne and the site manager for Gannett's Civil Rights in America: Connections to a Movement website. Four generations alive today have direct connections to the Civil Rights Movement and each generation has important stories to tell, to pass on, and to hear. Many stories are from icons you recognize; more are from unsung heroes. Gannett's Civil Rights in America: Connections to a Movement website helps tell the complete story, with rich context provided from Gannett newspapers and TV stations that were there at the movement's height in communities all over the South. The web portal is updated continually and features news stories, personal stories, records and more about the movement. | 1/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
