The shiny, new DC Central Kitchen HQ in the Buzzard Point neighborhood — with its nearly 7,000-square-foot production kitchen — is glassy, bright, open and marked by modern design. It almost looks like a tech start-up’s headquarters instead of a food kitchen's. And that’s intentional, according to the CEO of DC Central Kitchen Mike Curtin. On the show, Curtin walks us through this new facility and explains why he thinks we need to stop “helping” people in need and start “investing” in people. For Curtin this is the key to solving poverty in D.C. and beyond.

Are we alone? Does extraterrestrial life exist here on earth? Are UFO’s real? Have we made contact with aliens? These questions are usually reserved for the world of science fiction, but they made their way into Congress last week at a House Oversight Committee hearing. For many, the hearing was a bit of a head scratcher, but not for Steve Bassett. He’s the first UFO lobbyist in Washington, DC and after more than a quarter-century of work he got his day in Congress. On the show, he tells his story and thoughts on extraterrestrial life.
Years before Robert Oppenheimer led the Los Alamos lab that developed the first nuclear weapons, physicists in Washington, D.C., thrust the world into the atomic age — inside a narrow, zigzagging tunnel running underneath Chevy Chase. It happened at the Carnegie Institute of Science's "atom smasher" in 1939. On the show, institute librarian, Shaun Hardy, and president, Eric Isaacs, tell this little known and unlikely D.C. story.

Bill Stanley knew his law requiring porn websites to verify a user’s age with an ID would ruffle some feathers, but he didn’t expect the threats against his family. The law also faces stiff legal critiques from the Free Speech Coalition — a porn industry trade group that believes the law violates the constitution. On the show, we hear from both sides on the issue.
A day in the life.
In the wake of calls to defund the FBI, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is calling out for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for his lack of support for the agency as MD and VA battle over who gets the new FBI HQ.

In response, Gov. Youngkin’s spokeswoman said:

“Virginia is well-positioned to support the FBI headquarters with a diverse workforce, extensive transportation network and close proximity to public and private sector partners. Virginia’s competitive advantage is clear and partisan attacks won’t change that.”
Last month, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the District had inked a deal with a company seeking to build a massive $500 million complex in the city.

Chief Development Officer at Therme Group US Omar Toro-Vaca is overseeing the possible construction of a DC Therme. He comes o n the show to talk about what is a Therme, where it would go, and who is going to pay for it.
