Wgtd's The Morning Show With Greg Berg

Best-selling author Tom Clavin ("Last Men Out," "Dodge City") explores the amazing life of Wild Bill Hickok .... and does his best to separate fact from fiction, which is no small feat when one is talking about this kind of larger-than-life figure who lived in the 19th century.  The book is titled "Wild Bill: The True Story of the American Frontier's First Gunfighter." 

Carthage's Mock Trial team has earned impressive success even when competing with teams from much larger colleges and universities. The interview features local attorney and Carthage professor Michael Phegley, who coaches the team, and Maham Ali and Joshua Kundert, who are the team's student captains.  Also on hand is Dr. Art Cyr, director of the Clausen Center, which sponsors and supports the team. 

Dave Cullen's riveting book "Parkland: Birth of a Movement" chronicles the impressive efforts of a small group of students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to change the national conversation about gun control in the wake of the shooting on Feb. 14, 2018 that left 14 of their school mates dead (along with three staff members.)   Cullen wrote one of the most definitive books about Columbine, the first high-profile mass shooting at a U.S. school 19 years earlier.
