Delisting Oxycontin
The powerful painkillers OxyContin and OxyNEO have been delisted from the provincial drug plan, but does this mean these addictive drugs will come off the streets? Anthony speaks with Ron Fitzpatrick of Turnings, an organization that helps support offenders and ex-offenders.
Recognizing a USS Truxton hero
We've all heard how the people of St. Lawrence helped rescue American sailors after the sinking of the Pollux and Truxton. However, there was an unsung hero on board the USS Truxton. Caroline Hillier has been looking into his story, and why his extended family is fighting for recognition of his actions 70 years after his death.
Short Circuit Dream Fund
He's in the business of making dreams come true for critically ill children. Anthony chats with William Short, a MUN student who's been acting as a genie since he was a young teenager.

Pleasant Street garbage
St. John's resident Kerri Martin is taking a DIY approach to illegal dumping in the downtown core. John Furlong talks with her about what she's done - and what she hopes to do - at the messy space in her neighbourhood.
Pre-House opening Political Panel
With one more week to go until the House of Assembly finally reopens, we try to get a sneak peak at what's in store. Guest-host John Furlong talks with three brand new MHAs who are chomping at the bit: Paul Lane is the Tory MHA for Mount Pearl South, George Murphy represents the NDP for St. John's East and Andrew Parsons is the Liberal MHA for Burgeo-La Poile.
