Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out of the Presidential race last week, leaving Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee. But his candidacy doesn’t have the widespread support of the GOP. We check in with Republicans from around the state who vowed to never vote Trump about their options now. Our guests include author Demetrius Minor and conservative talk show host Greg Williams.
Plus, a recent story published in the University of Georgia student newspaper, “The Red and Black,” claims the university placed a student on interim suspension after she attempted suicide. This practice is not uncommon in higher education when students attempt to take their own lives. Is there a better way to deal with cries for help from members of a school population? We talk about options for colleges with Scott Schneider of the higher education practice group for Fisher and Phillips and Victor Schwartz, Medical Director for the Jed Foundation, an organization dedicated to preventing suicide among college and university students.
Then, Paula Wallace started the Savannah College of Art and Design when she was 29 years old. In her new memoir, “The Bee and the Acorn,” the SCAD president talks about co-founding the arts school while teaching elementary age kids in Atlanta. Wallace shares an excerpt from the book with us.
And Savannah native Scott Aukerman is the creator and host of the TV series "Comedy Bang Bang" on IFC. The show blends conversation with music, skits and celebrity impersonations. Comedy Bang Bang is currently touring with a live stage performance of its show. The tour hits Atlanta on Wednesday.
