Hearsay With Cathy Lewis

Segment A: Team Care A Newport News doctor is gaining national recognition for his unique approach to patient care. Dr. Peter Anderson's "Team Care" model has been tailored to allow his office to handle more patients without sacrificing the quality of the care he and his colleagues provide. He joins HearSay host Cathy Lewis to share his secrets for cutting his work hours in half while almost doubling the one-on-one time spent with his patients. Segment B: The Battle of Craney Island On June 22, 1813, over seven hundred men stationed on Craney Island, a small piece of land near the mouth of the Elizabeth River, defeated a British force of almost 2,500 that attacked by land and nearly 50 boats attacking from the James River. Today we explore the events of the historic local face-off and give you a glimpse of this weekend's celebrations that will commemorate the 200th anniversary of the "Battle of Craney Island."

On today's HearSay, Cathy Lewis and guests look to the looming July 1st deadline that could see the interest rates on federal student loans double. We'll considered proposed resolutions from both sides of the aisle and consider the impact on our nation's students, higher education system and economy if the interest on student loans jumped to 6.8%.

The close of yesterday's Virginia Democratic Primary means that both party's candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General have been selected and the race to November 5th has begun.

On today's HearSay, host Cathy Lewis is joined by two experts on the role the media plays in our techno-centric lives. Huffington Post editor-in-chief, Arianna Huffington, joins us as a precursor to her Friday, June 14th talk at Colonial Williamsburg to discuss the sometimes tenuous interplay of the media, technology and democracy. Veteran journalist and media critic Eric Deggans also joins us for a dissection of the powerful ways modern media feeds fears, prejudices, and hate.

In advance of Tuesday's Virginia Democratic Primary, we have extended invitations to both candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for Lt. Governor.

His competitor, Aneesh Chopra, has declined our invitation. We'll also discuss recent campaign developments with the Virginian-Pilot's state political reporter, Julian Walker.

The long-awaited "Man of Steel" is due out in theaters next week, June 14th, nationwide. This new "Superman" film is potentially the summer's biggest box office hit and, with its release, comes more than a conversation about costume changes or comic lore. It brings out a discussion for HearSay with Cathy Lewis about heroism. What defines a hero, to you? Clark Kent said on TV's Smallville," The suit doesn't make the hero. A hero is made in the moment, formed by the choices that he makes and the reasons that he makes them. A hero brings out the best in people." In the recent headlines of the Oklahoma tornado tragedy and the Boston Marathon bombings, many people who rushed to help were labeled "heroes." We'll explore the question with Dr. Mark White, author of "Superman and Philosophy: What Would the Man of Steel Do?" Plus, we're joined by "heroes" both real and fictional. Legendary US Fighter Pilot Lt. Col. Dan Hampton joins us in the hour, and we might even talk to "Superman" himself!

For the past five years, William & Mary's Puller Clinic has been training the College's students for the practice of law while helping Virginia's growing population of veterans.

HearSay host Cathy Lewis is joined by members of the Lewis B. Puller, Jr. Veterans Benefits Clinic to discuss their vital work and the national attention it is garnering.

Amidst the local and nationwide discussions about traffic, pollution, fuel prices and obesity, some would argue that there is a unified solution. Ride a bicycle. If Americans exchanged just one in five of their average daily car trips with a ride on a bicycle, the effect would be the equivalent of taking 48 million vehicles off the road. While the math is compelling, the reality facing local cyclists is that our region is far from "bike friendly." We'll consider the challenges facing local bike enthusiasts as we discuss the state of cycling across Hampton Roads.

The first of May, or May Day, is traditionally a time when European workers pause to celebrate labor rights and the reforms previously won from employers and governments. However, this year's celebration has been anything but, marked instead with anger and outrage as more Europeans are out of work than ever.
