The US National Space Council, disbanded for nearly a quarter of a century, was reformed last week. The council will oversee space policy across NASA, intelligence organizations and the military.

Where is this administration going when it comes to space exploration?

Then, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood promised a new start for the office when he pinned on the badge six months ago.

We’ll hear from the sheriff on training his deputies to be guardians rather than warriors.
And, an encore performance of music from young jazz musician Malo Kingsley.
