- If Africa is your travel passion, meet Carol Van Bruggen. Her travels to Africa awakened a different sort of passion. She calls it the [Africa Hope Fund](http://africahopefund.org/). On July 20th, [a special event](http://www.safariontheriver.com/) will raise funds for that mission. Carol is live in studio to talk about her travels and how they have impacted her life.
- Everyone loves barbecue, especially in the summertime. Mark has a [list of the most popular barbecue spots](http://www.smartertravel.com/photo-galleries/editorial/best-bbq-joints-in-america.html?id=768&source=91&value=2014-06-20+00%3A00%3A00&u=AF15711F03&nl_cs=18695456%3A%3A7603555%3A%3A18888572%3A%3A) in the country.
