American actress NANCY MARVY makes her A MOMENT WITH... debut as BEA, a comedienne who once shattered glass ceilings. But as Bette Davis once said: "Old age is not for sissies". And Bea knows all about it.

This confessional mixed with stand-up will tug at heartstrings.

Logan Rollins (host of The Story Told Podcast) makes his A MOMENT WITH... debut as Ruth's Young Man. Dedicated to Ruth Coker Burks, this piece features an anonymous young who passed during the AIDS crisis. At the height of the epidemic, Ruth served as an AIDS nurse. When young men were refused burial, or simply not acknowledged by their families, Ruth Coker Burks stepped in to bury those young men on her own property. This piece honors her, her legacy and her sacrifices to help others.
