First hour: The fate of unaccompanied minors from Central America

Second hour, 1pm: Extreme caving in western New York

Second hour, 1:30: Getting to know Belgium

In our first hour, We explore the complex issue of thousands of unaccompanied minors from Central America. The kids have been pouring over the border, and there are questions about their fate. My colleague Michelle Faust has been working extensively on this story and will join me, among others.

At 1pm, extreme caving. This is not just looking at the pretty stalagmites. This is trying to find seams that lead deep into the earth. There's a western NY caving group, and we'll meet their fearless leader. You should see the pictures of this guy.

At 1:30, Belgium is about more than soccer and waffles. Beer, for instance. With the USA/Belgium matchup approaching, we take the opportunity to learn about Belgian culture, politics, and beer with a man who lived there for two years. Now he's one of the best beer writers I know, and a football fanatic to boot.
