Radio Free America with Duke Brooks

At the intersection of policy, history and politics you'll find Radio Free America!  This week, we'll take a look at the Soviet ...I mean, Russian, annexation of the Crimea.  This strategic region has been a hot spot before: England, France, Sardinia and the Ottomans together defeated Russia in the Crimean War (1854-1856); then, as now, religion and ethnicity had a lot to do with it.

I'll offer some after-the-fact observations on CPAC 2014 and the Florida 13th special congressional election, in which David Jolly(R) defeated Alex Sink(D) on March 11.

And all the usual suspects: Some hangar flying, Civil War history, our international correspondent, Denmark's Kristian K., former U.S. Army intelligence specialist Victoria B. and...your calls!
