To raise money for those who cannot afford the activites at the YMCA, the Collinsville Maryvile Troy YMCA Program is hosting their first annual half marathon on May 22. Spokesperson/race director Miriam Bell joins Charlie.

Read “Civil War St. Louis” written by Dr. Louis S. Gerteis, a professor of history for UMSL. Perhaps you will learn a thing or two about the Gateway to the West and the role the city played in the Civil War.

Perhaps you remember the old Sonny and Cher show when they brought their young daughter, Chastity, to stage from time to time. Things changed as Chastity had a sex change operation to become Chaz Bono. He joins Charlie to discuss his transformation and book, “Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man”.
