Guest: Kelsey Nixon, Chef, "Kelsey's Homemade," Author of “Kitchen Confidence” Before Kelsey Nixon had her own show on the Cooking Channel, she was a BYU student making cooking videos about quick meals for college students. Then she was a contestant on season 4 of Food Network Star. She didn’t win Food Network Star, but she impress chef judge Bobby Flay enough to get her own show anyway - "Kelsey’s Essentials," on the Cooking Channel. Then came her cookbook, "Kitchen Confidence," and then another Cooking Channel show called "Kelsey’s Homemade."

Guest: Rebecca de Schweinitz, Associate Professor of History, Brigham Young University, Author of “If We Could Change the World: Young People and America’s Long Struggle for Racial Equality” Much to the surprise of some adults in the United States, teenaged-survivors of the high school shooting in Florida have quickly become prominent activists with their #NeverAgain social media campaign, media appearances and rallies. Many students involved in the #NeverAgain movement are too young to vote. Will they really be able to change gun laws when years of lobbying by activists before them have failed? But in America, there’s a long history of children agitating for – and sometimes ushering in – social and political change.
