An Atlanta artist is trying to get beyond the statistics about sexual abuse. All month long, Jessica Caldas has marked an “X” on the ground in chalk every 107 seconds. That’s how often someone is sexually abused in the U.S., according to federal data. We talk with her about the message she hopes people will take away from her art. 

Then, we discuss how April is  now known  as Financial Literacy Month. It was designated in 2003, mostly because the Great Recession revealed just how little average Americans know about their finances. So, in the spirit of education, we break down something we hear a lot about, especially during election time: Social Security. We also talk with Social Security expert and financial writer Mary Beth Franklin.

And finally, Georgia's first Ideal Church of Scientology opened its doors this month. The 45,000 square foot mansion that houses the church is located in Sandy Springs, just outside Atlanta. We talk to a Scientologist from Atlanta about what draws him to the church, and how it has diversified. Then, we get a historical overview of the church from journalist Tony Ortega. He’s behind the blog, The Underground Bunker, where he writes about Scientology.
