An Hour with Emmett (Thu 3pm)
On The Next Virginia Insight: As one of the longest serving legislators in Virginia state government, he has become something of a bridge between political factions that might otherwise never communicate.
Behind the scenes his views are frequently sought out by public officials and journalists.
He has been with us before. But it has often been for just a few minutes at a time, as part of a panel of guests.
On this edition, we will be going for a much deeper understanding of the perspectives of state Senator Emmett Hanger.

Digital Humanities
Are you a techie, or are you artsy? Do you like the latest digital gadgets, or is a good novel more your thing?
Maybe you don't have to choose.
What if we could use the power of digital technology to open up new worlds in the arts, in literature, and in history?
It turns out we can.
Digital humanities people use the latest technology to map time as well as space, and to experience and explore creative works in unexpected ways. Some of them you can try for yourself.
