Panel description: Everyone loves a bad guy, so let’s focus on the various villains seen in Doctor Who and how the good doctor dealt with them. From the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Silurians, and Weeping Angels, the doctor uses his intellect, clever strategies, TARDIS technology, and his understanding of time and space to outsmart his enemies and exploit their weaknesses instead of using brute force.

Whether we were paying attention or not, 2024 was filled with good news. In case you weren't, NPR's member stations have been keeping track. Here are some of the stories that made us smile this year.

Five years after George Floyd's death, NPR's Michel Martin talks with Toluse Olorunnipa and Robert Samuels, the Pulitzer Prize-winning authors of His Name is George Floyd.

Six String Society presents: Tommy Castro and the Painkillers "Closer to the Bone Tour" with Special Guests Sue Palmer & Liz Ajuzie Tickets: $38.40 – $102 including fees. No fees if purchased at the CCAE Box Office (face value $32 -$35). Front Row VIP tickets include pre-show Meet & Greet or pre-show VIP add-on can be added to any other ticket for $20. Born in San Jose, California in 1955, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age 10. He fell under the spell of six-string stars like Elvin Bishop, Taj Mahal and Mike Bloomfield. Almost every major rock and soul act, from Ike and Tina Turner to Janis Joplin to Tower Of Power, toured through the area, and Castro was at every show. He saw John Lee Hooker, Albert King, and Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at a local club, JJ’s Blues Bar. Castro often jammed at JJ’s, dreaming of busting out and making a name for himself. He created his own personal sound and style by mixing the blues, R&B and funk music he loved into his own, instantly recognizable brand of uplifting, soul-healing music. As his reputation spread, Tommy played in several Bay Area bands, quickly making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot live artist bursting at the seams with talent. In 1985, he became lead singer and guitarist for the regionally popular blues band NiteCry before joined popular Warner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones, gigging all over the country. He formed the first Tommy Castro Band in 1992 and has not stopped touring since. In 1995, soon after releasing their first album on Blind Pig Records, The Tommy Castro Band were selected as the house band for three seasons on NBC Television’s Comedy Showcase (airing right after Saturday Night Live). The show brought Tommy in front of millions of viewers every week and cemented his reputation as a not-to-be-missed live performer. After a series of successful releases on the Blind Pig, Telarc and 33rd Street labels, Tommy Castro joined Alligator Records in 2009. His label debut, Hard Believer, launched to massive popular and critical acclaim. 2011 saw the release of the raucous Tommy Castro Presents "The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Revue—Live!." In 2014, Castro & The Painkillers released "The Devil You Know," followed by "Method To My Madnes"s in 2015, "Stompin’ Ground" in 2017, and the irresistible "Killin’ It"—Live in 2019. With 2021’s "A Bluesman Came To Town," Castro told the story of a young musician’s journey through the blues world. AllMusic said the album was “a towering achievement.” Castro received his fourth prestigious and coveted Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year in 2023. He’s taken home a total of 10 Blues Music Awards and is among the genre’s most decorated artists. Castro’s relentless road-dog approach—gig after gig, 150 nights a year—continues to earn him loyal, lifelong fans everywhere he plays. The Washington Post says Castro is “phenomenal and funky” with “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.” Famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa says, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.” Tommy Castro & The Painkillers’ deceptively simple approach on Closer To The Bone delivers one thrilling performance after another. Says Castro, “Here, I’m not the contemporary guy, not the rock guy, not the soul guy. This is the deeper blues side of me. I know, with these songs, I am at my most authentic.” Tommy Castro on Facebook / Instagram
