The latest broadcasts on WNHH radio explore black hair as a political entity, Hartford’s legislative dysfunction, and Yale’s handling of racial issues.
On “The Show,” host Michelle Turner welcomes sorors Babz Rawls-Ivy, editor of The Inner-City News, and Markeshia Ricks, reporter at the New Haven Independent, to talk about hair, history, and the way black women’s bodies are frequently policed through their beauty regimens and tonsorial decisions.

“Legal Eagle” host Marcia Chambers catches up with former State Sen. Ed Meyer. The two discuss his long and engaged career, how things are working — and not working — in Hartford, why a tie can be more than just a tie, and what he and his wife have been doing in their retirement.

Meares, the Walton Hale Hamilton Professor of Law at Yale University, and Vesla Weaver, professor in the African American Studies Department and the founding director of the ISPS Center for the Study of Inequality, join Kica Matos for an hour-long “Kica’s Corner” special. The three weigh in on a number of topics including the recent student unrest at Yale University; the University’s decision to continue to name a dormitory after noted white supremacist John C. Calhoun, diversity at Yale and town-gown relations. To listen, click on or download the audio above, or subscribe to WNHH’s “Elm City Lowdown” podcast on Soundcloud or iTunes.
