  1. Weekend America: The A-11 Offense

    The A-11 Offense : Two frustrated coaches at Piedmont High School in Northern California were brainstorming ideas to keep their small team competitive. What they devised was a crazy new offensive strategy called the A-11 that took advantage of the "scrimmage kick" formation. If you have no idea what that is, you’re not alone, but the A-11 strategy worked and the Piedmont Highlanders began winning. Is it the future of football?

  2. Weekend America: Saving the Story

    Saving the Story : MIT is teaming up with a new movie studio in Massachusetts to create the storytelling technology of the future. We asked Reporter Sean Cole to look into the story, but instead of doing a radio report about it, he wrote a sci-fi movie-type drama, and cast himself as the reporter. So grab some Jujubes. Sit back. And enjoy the show.

  3. Weekend America: Faux Bono

    Faux Bono : This weekend promises a groovy pre-inaugural concert. Crossing the stage in front of the Lincoln Memorial will be performers including Beyonce, Garth Brooks, Herbie Hancock, and, yes, Bono. But not the not-Bono. Did you know Bono has a doppelganger? He can be found not at the Lincoln Memorial, but in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago.

  5. NYC History 95: Tin Pan Alley and the birth of modern popular music

    The Bowery Boys look at where the modern music industry began…. on 28th Street? A seemingly nondescript street in midtown Manhattan contains some of the most important buildings where early American pop music was created.

    Tin Pan Alley was a bustling and frenzied area, the most creative area of the city, with songwriters — and song pluggers — churning out iconic music. Sing along as we talk about the greatest songwriters and the process they went through to create the most influential tunes of the century. (http://theboweryboys.blogspot.com/)

  6. Anathallo - Noni’s Glow

    Luke: Album - Canopy Glow. This is a band out of Chicago IL and the album came out last year. It’s some pretty strong indie pop, and there are some aspects of it that kind of get to me (the solo singing) but other more harmonic parts mostly redeem those negatives. This is their second album and honestly I’ve only listened to one or two other songs so I can’t put in a strong endorsement.
