What are the effects of war on civilians?

On the next Your Call, we'll speak with war correspondent Anna Badkhen about her new book, Peace Meals: Candy-Wrapped Kalashnikovs and Other War Stories, a travelogue about war, food, and humanity. How do stories of people living in war zones help us understand the impact of war on civilian populations? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How do people manage to persevere in extreme situations? And what stories would actually resonate with the public? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.

Guest:
Anna Badkhen, a journalist and the author of Peace Meals: Candy-Wrapped Kalashnikovs and Other War Stories

Can we imagine a world free of nuclear weapons?

On the next Your Call, we ask, are we on the path to global nuclear disarmament or not? President Obama is going to spend 80 billion dollars to modernize the U.S. nuclear arsenals, starting with 8 billion this year. What does modernizing actually mean? And what is the state of U.S. nuclear capability? Are we moving towards nuclear escalation rather than disarmament? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. If we aim for a nuclear-free world, what steps need to be taken? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Paul Kawika Martin, political & communications director with Peace Action

Scott Yundt, staff attorney with Tri-Valley CARE

Darwin Bond-Grahm, sociologist and researcher with the Los Alamos Study Group
