Homeland Security / Musician Mary KayeBy Shay Zeller on Thursday, March 2, 2006.Northern New England may get less Homeland Security grant money this year. New ground rules mean that states could receive grants according to their risk and need, instead of being based on their populations. We'll talk with David Howe of the Civitas Group, a former Special Advisor to President G. W. Bush about out why congress is looking to change the system, and what states like New Hampshire can expect in the future. Singer/songwriter Mary Kaye has just released her third album of children's music. The disc is called "Spin Your Web", and it takes a bit of a more mature approach to kid's tunes. Mary joins us in the studio to play some of her new songs for us. We'll also hear from commentator Ian Shoales. He's taken aback a little by a new radio format that's been gaining steam. It's based on the popularity of the IPOD mp3 player. You can hear Ian's piece by clicking here. It comes to us by way of the Public Radio Exchange, where you can listen to all kinds of radio pieces and comment on them. listen:
