Tom Mishke is breaking radio silence

"If you grew up in this State, as I did, you hear the call letters WCCO and scores of sounds and images flash through your head." Mischke tells the station. "I know its history. I know the big names that put that station on the map over the years. I'll be walking through those doors like the kid who got the good looking girl on prom night."

• A look at the life and work of the mercurial, notorious, and mightily talented, Mel Gibson. Just what are we to make of this man? A peak into the Nylez Files with Nylez Schwartz.
• Also a live report from the courthouse. A Cretin-Derham Hall teacher stands accused of having sex with a student. The teacher is the daughter of one of our state's most famous wrestler's (No, not Ventura). Just what exactly went on here?
• Finally, a discussion with JD Salinger. I booked this interview two years ago and am finally ready to have at the man. I'm told I'm the only one he scheduled an interview with in 2010. Looking forward to tearing away the veil and exposing the mind of this artist.

Join the conversation with T.D. Mischke on today's 'In The Stream' live from 2 - 3:30 p.m.

This film has it's premier tonight at the Walker Art Center. Today I'll be interviewing the courageous Chinese director (using a translator) who's responsible for it.

• A weekly visit with the "Q." Quinton Skinner visits to discuss, among other things, this: It has been learned that nearly 1 in 10 eight year olds hears voices that aren't really there. This is according to a new study. The study also learned that most children who hear voices don't find them troubling in the least. Parents, consequently, whose children hear voices, should not be overly concerned. Up to 16 percent of mentally healthy children and teens may hear voices, the researchers noted in the British Journal of Psychiatry. But again, no harm no foul. My question: Whose voices are these? And just what are they saying.
• Plus: He's gone. JD Salinger has passed away. A brief funeral for the man, today, in the stream.

Get your scuba gear, we're goin' under.

• First I'll have Emily Kaiser discussing her interesting cover feature on the 70's rock group, "Haze."
• Following that, a member of the band joins the show, "Baby Tang." He'll talk about the grief he took, years ago, digging white man's music as a black man. (I thought it was white guys who always dug black guys' music?)
• Lastly: David Hansen makes his weekly visit. We'll be talking talking traitors. (Are you one?)

• A look at Emily Kaiser's wonderful feature on the grand search for a long-forgotten Twin Cities rock band: The story of "Haze," and the lone woman who was determined to track them down some 30 years after they faded away.

  Also, "Moose:" The man behind the new all-white basketball league forming in the American South. Seems the more things change the more they stay the same.
