In this special edition of The Conscious Voices Program, Eugene and Brandy travel to DC to capture the sounds and electrifying energy of President Obama's inauguration. We'll hear from people who traveled far and wide to participate in the event as well as from celebrities at the Inaugural Peace Ball that evening.

Most memorable quote of the day: While jam packed on the Metro with 2 million people headed for the inauguration festivities, when Sarah turned to an African American man standing next to her and exclaimed, "Isn't this day CRAZY!?", he replied, "Hell, no! It's the last 200 years that have been crazy. THIS DAY IS JUST FINE!"

Michael Dowd and his wife Connie Barlow travel the US in a giant van painted with a logo of the Jesus fish kissing the Darwin fish, under the caption "Thank God for Evolution." It's a descriptor of their marriage - he's born again, she's an atheist - and of his book, which celebrates evolution and the billions of years our tiny blue planet has been travelling around the sun.
