What could be more soothing and cozy than a story about an NPR affiliate and some smooth, smooth jazz? Well, lots of things if the story also involves assault, police barricades and letters threatening the station manager with bodily harm.

Faith Perez, host of KNME's Colores, stops by the chat about Albuquerque photographer Dick Kent, who chronicled the city's post-war growth.

We talk with Harrison Hill, the author of a new book chronicling the rise and fall of a New Mexico cult.

Maurice Crandall, historian, author and former Albuquerque resident, stopped by to share some fascinating info on Expo New Mexico's Indian Village, and his family's connection to it. Also, he reveals that sometimes Ty pronounces "City on the Edge" as "City on the Enge" which is definitely not something that Ty will spend the rest of the weekend thinking about.
