In this episode, we explore some little known baseball history. Did you know that Kentucky is home to the 1st ever integrated kids' baseball team in the Commonwealth? My guest is Ron Schmidt, the Executive Producer of an upcoming feature film that tells the story. It's called "This Field Looks Green To Me".

After a bit of a hiatus, we are back and in this episode, we'll talk about transracial adoptions and I'll introduce you to Brandy David, an Italian immigrant who was adopted at the age of 5 by an African - American family.

You'll hear her story and learn a little more about transracial adoptions. You can also see the video version of this episode on my You Tube channel.
