This Week On Metro Connection: Stress
We focus this week on something Washingtonians know well: Stress. We'll talk with veterans back from the battlefront and hear what scientists have to say about healing a mind that's preoccupied with memories of war. We'll find out about a major change to the services Virginia offers disabled residents — and hear from parents who are really, really stressed out about those changes. And we'll spend a work shift with a man who traveled here from abroad to support a family thousands of miles...

This Week On Metro Connection: Rarities
With that quadrennial oddity, Leap Year, upon us, today we're all about the weird, unusual and/or or seldom-seen people, places and things of the Washington region. We'll hear from a man on a mission to save a language that hasn't been spoken in years, and we'll meet a Salvadoran family seeking a rare golden ticket to permanent residency in the Unites States. Plus, we'll visit a Capitol Hill barber whose nine-to-five gig is unlike that of any other barber anywhere. And we'll hear about a...

This Week on Metro Connection: Relationships
On this week when Cupid's arrow is ostensibly taking aim, we'll look at "Relationships" — and not just the kind that make our hearts go pitter-patter. We'll meet a family that's been honoring a member who's passed away, with a decades-old tradition known as Wild Man Night. We'll talk with the creators of a local culinary start-up that's trying to change the relationship between diner and chef. And we'll explore the relationship between global trade and the health of our local waters.[Music:...
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Wild Cards
It's a mixed bag of stories this week, from a 99-year-old piano genius to a professional dancer who nearly had to give up her dream. Plus, time-traveling to the Capitol Hill of the 1930s, and a gym in Virginia that caters to Muslim women.[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts" by John Davis from Title Tracks]
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Fears
We all have things we're afraid of - and ways of responding to our particular fears. This week, we meet Washingtonians grappling with fears small and large - from anxiety over dancing in public to worries about losing a home. We'll also ask whether one community's fears of crime are overblown, and meet a woman who's coped with her fear of confined spaces by spending time in confined spaces... underground.[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts" by John Davis from Title Tracks / "The Fear...
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Race And Ethnicity
We focus this week on a topic we tend to tiptoe around — race and ethnicity. We'll explore how color, culture and our perceptions of each other are entwined with Washington's past, present, and future. We'll go back to the 1850s, when a group of former slaves and free African Americans founded their own school in the nation's capital. We'll examine why one particular minority group is disproportionately involved in pedestrian deaths in the suburbs. And we'll visit a bustling Latino...
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Suburbia
We dive in to the complex, ever-changing suburban communities of our region. We'll explore the military's role in shaping the 'burbs, and go inside the rapidly-growing Indian community in Loudoun County. Plus, the heated debate over sprawl in Maryland, and just how far you can get outside the city... and still be considered part of the Washington area?[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts" by John Davis from Title Tracks]
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Out In The Cold
Old Man Winter tossed a few flakes our way this week, so even though winter hasn't quite arrived in the region, this week we're going "Out in the Cold." We meet NASA scientists working on a telescope chilled to nearly -400 degrees, and dive in to the debate over shelter for homeless women in D.C. Plus, we preview a world-premiere musical based on the classic children's book, The Snowy Day.[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts" by John Davis from Title Tracks / "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm" by...
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Taking Stock
As we kick off 2012, we pause to reflect on the year ahead, and find out what Washingtonians want from the next 12 months. We also meet people who are re-evaluating their lives in a fundamental way — and making some big changes.[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts" by John Davis from Title Tracks]
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Hall Of Fame
Today we look back on some of the remarkable people and stories we've been lucky enough to share on this show. We'll talk with the woman who sorts and sifts through decades of artifacts for the U.S. House of Representatives, and hear about an ambitious project at George Mason University to archive accents from all over the world. We'll also meet a man who works as a town crier... go inside a local barbershop that's designed to keep D.C. teens off the street.[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts"...
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Culinary Classics
Today we revisit some of the stories we've done about the diverse and delicious gastronomic scene here in the nation's capital. We'll head to D-C's Capitol Hill neighborhood to sample what may be the world's most gourmet pop-tarts, and we'll visit the Korean Cultural Center to learn how to make the longtime staple kimchi. Plus, we'll ride along with some Chesapeake Bay watermen and take a tour down a rather mouth-watering memory lane of long-gone Washington restaurants.[Music: "Every Little...
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Traditions
We pay homage to traditions and rituals of all kinds this week. We'll visit a park sacred to Native Americans, and talk with a local woman who's hoping to give the park new prominence. We'll swing by a Prince George's County church that's taking the concept of a Christmas pageant to a whole new level. And we'll go inside a weekly event known as the "Captain's Coffee," and hear how it's bringing together houseboat residents on the D.C. waterfront.[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts" by John Davis...
-
This Week On Metro Connection: Health & Wellness
We follow doctor's orders this week and focus on health and wellness. We'll find out why a local medical school uses patients as instructors, and meet members of the D.C. Sled Sharks, a sled-hockey team for kids with disabilities. Plus, a local scientist explains how the racket of city life affects our feathered friends, and we meet a man who's trying to live life to the fullest — even as he loses his sight.[Music: "Every Little Bit Hurts" by John Davis from Title Tracks]
