U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak, candidate for Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate
May 5
Hour 1
On May 18th, Pennsylvania Democrats will pick who they want on the ballot for the U.S. Senate seat up for election in November. They will see one familiar name in an unfamiliar setting: sitting Senator Arlen Specter, the longest-serving U.S. Senator in Pennsylvania’s history, a longtime Republican who switched parties last year and has the backing of most major national and state Democratic leaders. And voters will also see one name far less familiar, that of JOE SESTAK. He's the Democrat representing Pennsylvania's Seventh Congressional District in Delaware and Chester counties since 2006. And if opinion polls show him gaining ground on Specter as the high-stakes primary approaches. On today's "Radio Times," Marty will talk to Joe Sestak about why he's running for Senate, and why he should win the Democratic nomination over Arlen Specter.

Talking to kids about sex & preventing teen pregnancy
May 5
Hour 2
The teen birth rate in the United States dipped by 2% in 2008, after three straight years of rising by 5%, which in turn followed almost 15 years of decline. As it stands, about 3 out of every 10 American girls will get pregnant by age 20; more than 400,000 teenaged American girls give birth each year; and the U.S. continues to have the highest rates of teen pregnancy and teenaged childbearing in the industrialized world. Joining us to talk about these statistics on today's "Radio Times" is SARAH BROWN, Chief Executive Officer of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. Today is a National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy the campaign is organizing to raise awareness and get more teens thinking about ways to avoid getting pregnant. Then, we'll talk to AMBER MADISON, sex columnist and author of the new book, "Talking Sex With Your Kids." Her book hits the shelves as a Pennsylvania House committee has approved a bill that would mandate sexual-education instruction for all public school students in Pennsylvania.
