1) Lawrence B. Wilkerson, Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Government & Public Policy at the College of William and Mary, a retired US Army Colonel and former chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powel. Prof. Wilkerson discusses the current crisis in Ukraine, the danger of war, the role of the NATO military alliance in the post-Soviet era -- and how civil society can work to avert escalation of a new, dangerous and costly cold war.

2) David Hoffman, Associate Professor of Sociology at Canada's University of New Brunswick, talks about the Canadian "Freedom Convoy," the public/government response, concerns about extremist groups that were part of the protest -- and the role U.S. politicians and American extremist organizations played in funding and organizing the action in Ottawa and blockade of the Ambassador Bridge.

3) Greg Guma, a writer, editor, historian, and former CEO of Pacifica Radio, talks about his new book, "Restless Spirits and Popular Movements - A Vermont History," a political and social profile of Vermont that takes readers on a fascinating journey from the pre-revolutionary years, to the transforming activism of the 1960s, through VT Senator Bernie Sanders' two campaigns for the presidency.
