May 14th, 2009
Guests on the show:
1. Siva Vimal
Siva joined us by phone to talk about the Tamil demonstrations that have recently been taking place at Queen's Park and throughout Toronto. Siva outlined the dire situation of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka and spoke about his involvement in the demonstrations.
2. Emmanuel Jal
In keeping with the theme of civil war and its repercussions we aired an interview that Alexis Chapman conducted with Emmanuel Jal, a former sudanese war child. Emmanuel explained his intent to spread a message of peace through his hip hop lyrics, and also touched upon a book he recently released about his story.

4. John Tayles, Toronto Singer Songwriter
John Tayles is a musician who performed live Beyond the Classroom earlier in the year. We featured two songs off his debut album, Thoughts out Loud, which he was able to produce after winning and international songwriting competition on slicethepie.com. John's music was a perfect way to end the show and lead into the May long weekend.
