GAMBLING! GAMBLING! GAMBLING! That was one of the hottest topics of 2012. And we discussed the issue from many different perspectives on Morning Blend. With our continuing special series of shows highlighting interviews over the past year, we feature the anti-gambling campaign with members of the Christian Council, the pro-numbers movement with Sebas Bastian – who famously coined the term “cultural wagering”, and a psychological look at the impact of gambling.

Happy New Year!! Our special series highlighting interviews we’ve featured during 2012 continues with the different sides of the annual debate about Christopher Columbus and Discovery Day, and replacing the holiday with National Heroes Day. We have an historical perspective on exactly who was Columbus, and what motivated him. And we have the Knights of Columbus organization, which says Columbus has been unfairly portrayed and misunderstood. Listeners get worked up in both cases.
