The gloves are coming off in the WNHH studio. Today’s broadcasts explore the ins and outs of the upcoming Connecticut Democratic presidential primary with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton supporters, ask tough questions about racially motivated violence in New Haven, do battle with some intensely masculine fiction, and more.
“Mornings with Mubarakah” host Mubarakah Ibrahim gears up for the April 26 Connecticut primary, welcoming Sanderista Bonita Yarboro and Clinton supporter Babz Rawls-Ivy, editor of the Inner City News CT, to discuss why they’re supporting their democratic candidates of choice.

“This Day in New Haven History” hosts Allan Appel and Jason Bischoff-Wurstle are traveling back for a history lesson, circa 1875. There, they learn about Benedict Arnold, who had a house on Water Street, defied the selectmen who wanted to dither, and demanded keys to the armory, or powder house, so New Haven’s recently formed and now fabled Second Company Governor’s Foot Guard could march to Concord to help pick off retreating British soldiers.
