The teacher wage gap is wider than ever, according to a new report by the Economic Policy Institute. The report found public school teachers earned 17 percent less than other college graduates – the difference was only 2 percent back in 1994. The gap is especially severe in Georgia, which has the eighth widest pay gap in the nation. We speak with Lawrence Mishel, the president of the Economic Policy Institute, about teacher salaries. 

Then, politics – especially in a presidential election year – is one subject people always seem to have an opinion on. But what if that belief is based on inaccurate information?

And lastly, the Red Bull Music Academy comes to Atlanta this week with a series of workshops and live performances. Vivian Host, a.k.a DJ Star Eyes, is one of the hosts of the RMBA. She stops by the studio and shared two of her favorite songs about Atlanta. Plus, the Academy has been broadcasting live from Patchwerk Studios, an iconic studio that has served as a hip-hop home base for more than 20 years. We revisit our tour from last year and look back at the role the studio has played in Atlanta’s music scene.
