E.J. DionneSyndicated Columnist for The Washington Post

A nationally known and respected commentator on politics, Dionne appears weekly on National Public Radio in a featured counterpoint to David Brooks for their review of politics, and regularly on MSNBC. He is a regular contributor to NBC’s Meet the Press. He has also appeared on News Hour with Jim Lehrer and other PBS programs.

About the Program:
Dionne’s presentation offers an insiders look at the Presidency, Congress and the 2016 Presidential election.

With over 25 years of reporting on Washington politics, his analysis and predictions are among the most on-target of anyone covering Washington.

He will give insight into the frontrunners and how they need to respond to the most important issues of today. Issues such as the economy, budget deficit, health care, immigration, the future of Social Security and Medicare, U.S. foreign policy, the on going war in Afghanistan, the unrest in the Middle East and other critical issues facing the country here at home and around the world, and what we can expect from Washington over the next few years.

David J. PetersonLanguage Creator for HBO's Game of Thrones

Master language creator David J. Peterson offers a captivating overview of language creation, covering its history from Tolkien’s creations and Klingon to today’s thriving global community of conlangers. He presents the essential tools necessary for inventing and evolving new languages, using examples from a variety of languages including his creations, punctuated with references to everything from Star Wars to Michael Jackson.

Along the way, behind-the-scenes stories lift the curtain on how he built languages like Dothraki and Valyrian for HBO’s Game of Thrones and Shivaisith for Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World. His presentation is an inside look at a fascinating culture and an engaging entry into a flourishing art form-and it might be the most fun you’ll ever have with linguistics.

Ruth WarinerAuthor

Number thirty-nine of her father’s forty-two children, Ruth Wariner was born into a Mexico-based polygamist community. When Wariner was only three-months old, her father, the prophet of the sect, was assassinated by his brother, the notorious “Morman Manson” Ervil LeBaron, in a bid for church power. Wariner’s mother remarries, becoming the second wife of another man in the community, and adds new siblings (and fresh difficulties in the form of physical and sexual abuse) to an already overstuffed family tree. At turns both heartbreaking and affirming, Wariner’s strength, honesty, and enduring love for her family will move audiences of all ages and upbringings. Free of self-pity and with an excess of grit, her determination to make a better life for herself and her siblings will have you marveling at her courage and kindness, and cheering, often through tears, for her success as she overcomes tremendous odds.
