Updated at 9:05 a.m. ET More than 200 people were killed and hundreds more were injured after multiple explosions tore through Sri Lanka in a series of coordinated blasts that struck hotels and churches. It marked the countrys worst violence since the end of its civil war in 2009. The blasts started as people began gathering for mass on Sunday for Easter. In Colombo, the capital, blasts were reported at St. Anthonys Shrine and three high-end hotels, the Shangri-La, the Cinnamon Grand and the Kingsbury. Explosions were also reported at St. Sebastians Church in Negombo, north of the capital, and at Zion Church in the Eastern Province of Batticaloa. A police spokesman, Ruwan Gunasekara, said at least 207 people were killed and 450 wounded in the blasts. No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Sri Lankas defense minister, Ruwan Wijewardena, says seven suspects linked to the explosions have been arrested. Wijewardena described the blasts as a terrorist attack carried out

The Iowa caucuses are still nine months away, and with at least 20 Democrats either considering a run or officially declared, many of them are looking for ways to stand out in the crowded field. One tried-and-true way: show up in voters homes. The house party has a long tradition in the presidential primary politicking of the two early states of Iowa and New Hampshire, where locals open their doors to let aspiring presidents audition in their living rooms. Its a staple of the early campaign, when many candidates cant pack larger venues. Its pretty surreal that you can have a candidate running for president in your living room, says Liz Adelman, who recently hosted Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., at her Des Moines, Iowa, home. Adelman is originally from outside Washington, D.C., and has lived in Iowa for about 10 years. Weve done this before, so I kind of knew the drill of what to expect in terms of food and put everything in cabinets to hide, says Adelman, who works in public

SACHA PFEIFFER, HOST: Abby Wambach was a major soccer star - two Olympic gold medals, the all-time highest goal score among women and men internationally, global recognition. But when Barnard College, the all-womens school in New York City, asked her to give its commencement address last year, she felt underqualified. So she poured her heart into her speech and decided to turn it into a rallying cry for women. That hard work paid off. Her speech went viral, and shes now turned it into a book about leadership for people everywhere. Its called WOLFPACK: How To Come Together, Unleash Our Power, And Change The Game. Abby Wambach is with us from Colorado Public Radio to talk about some of the leadership lessons in her new book. Abby, welcome to the show. ABBY WAMBACH: Wow. That was that was maybe the best introduction that Ive gotten... PFEIFFER: Laughter. WAMBACH: ...Over the last couple weeks being on the road with this. So can I take you with me everywhere I go now, Sacha

Satan and Adam is the story of Sterling Satan McGee, a monumental guitar player who cut some sought-after R&B 45s in the 60s before playing with the Harlem Underground Band and then busking in the streets of Harlem in the 1980s, where he met and made a record with harmonica player Adam Gussow, who became a lifelong friend. Of course, if the story stayed that simple, there wouldnt be a movie, would there The L.A.

McKoy Kirgo was once frontman of Talk In Tongues, but now hes leading the new outfit Giant Killer Bats, who deliver us this dreamy sneak-peek of their coming EP. Kirgos Lonely in Love, Dead In Heaven has a little Oasis-style BritPop, a little of the Cures melancholy and maybe even a little Byrds-ian balladry, especially when Grady Kinnoin of the Sons of the Southwest unfurls that pedal steel. Either way, itd have fit as nicely deep on the b-side of some undersung Creation Records LP back in the 90s as it does now as part of Giant Killer Bats debut Bats 1 EP on the cusp of the summer of 2019.
