Vicki Moses is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Harvard's Science of the Human Past Initiative and Max Planck-Harvard Archaeosciences of the Ancient Mediterranean. (That means that she's interesting and insanely smart.) We'll discuss some fascinating new research on the DNA of people who died in Pompeii and how the results changed so much of what we thought we knew.

Willie B is one of the greatest people I know. He's the host of the Willie B show on 107.9 KBPI from 6 AM to 10 AM weekdays and also hosts a show in Colorado Springs. The guy can fix or build pretty much any car engine and is a legend in Colorado car shows, car racing, etc. He's also possibly the most charitable person I know, spending so much of his own time and money to help less fortunate folks such as through his annual Cars for Christmas giveaway through the Willie B Foundation.
