A new radio talk show for young people — teens to college-aged kids — aired Sunday on a local hip-hop station.

Normally, the station plays hip-hop and R&B songs from artists such as Flo Rida, Nicki Minaj and Neyo.

This Sunday, however, the station introduced “Expressions On The Edge” as an hour-long talk show for young people to discuss hard-hitting issues from teen violence, dating, sex, racism and cyber bullying.

The first two guest on the show were Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle and Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer.
