Current State #700 | February 10, 2016

Today on Current State: Part two of our interview with Mahtob Mahmoody, daughter of "Not Without My Daughter" author Betty Mahmoody, about her life since their escape from Iran; Glenn Grown of East Lansing on his studio's Grammy Award-nominated work with musician Marcus Miller; Neighbors in Action: Energizing Education of Jackson County; and a look at artificial intelligence in the 20 years since the computer Big Blue beat chess champion Garry Kasparov.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
