The culture wars have distorted the dramatic story of how Americans came to worship freely. Many activists on the right maintain that the United States was founded as a Christian nation. Many on the left contend that the Founders were deists and the advent of the First Amendment proves that church and state should be separated. Author Steven Waldman contends that neither of these claims are true in his new book Founding Faith: Providence, Politics and the Birth of Religious Freedom in America.
Sean Kotz of Horse Archer Productions is the director and co-producer of Virginia Creepers, a new documentary that explores the horror host tradition in Virginia.

This week on the show:
Brian Wheeler of Charlottesville Tomorrow joined Coy Barefoot on the April 8 edition of the show to discuss growth, development and pie. The last item is perhaps a new wrinkle for Charlottesville Tomorrow, which usually focuses on land use, transportation and community design issues. But, topics on this episode include:
Fulbright scholar and economist Loretta Napoleoni is the author of Rogue Economics: Capitalism’s New Reality. The book argues that there’s a dark underside to globalism, with massive amounts of money being spent on drugs, prostitutes, and other nefarious activities.
“We live in a world where we’re trapped in a web of commercial, economic and political illusions,” Napoleoni said on the April 3, 2008 edition of WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!”
Freshman Senator Ralph Northam (R-6) joined Coy Barefoot on the April 3, 2008 edition of the program to give his view of the recently concluded General Assembly session. Northam is a graduate of the Sorensen Institute Political Leaders program.
State Senator Ken Cuccinelli (R-37) joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” to talk about his upcoming run for Attorney General in 2009. Cuccinelli is the only remaining Republican from Northern Virginia in the Virginia Senate, and in this show from April 3, 2008, he explains why he plays for the GOP team.

Jane Foy joined Coy Barefoot on the March 28, 2008 to celebrate the life of one of CharlottesvillevDj(tm)s icons. Guests include DickvDj(tm)s son Mike Mountjoy who announced that the Memorial Service will be held at St. Thomas Aquinas at 11:00 AM on Monday, March 31.
