Focus
Focus, or Focus 580, was WILL Radio's flagship talk program from 1981 until 2014. David Inge was the host from 1981 until his retirement in 2012. Always engaging, the program acted as a resource for citizens to directly question politicians and candidates as well as keep up on the arts, science, health, and even the latest from well-known novelists.
The Focus archive below offers thousands of great interviews and serves as a time capsule and a great resource for researchers and those just curious about how influential people spoke of important topics as they were happening.
The University of the 20th Century: Artifact, Sea Anchor, or Pathfinder
Guest: John H. Gibbons.
Is the future of the university in danger? Today on Focus we're joined by John Gibbons, former Assistant to President Clinton for Science and Technology. We'll look at the highs and lows of his time in the White House and talk about whether the university is an artifact or a pathfinder.
The Quest for Immortality: Science at the Frontiers of Aging
Guests: S. Jay Olshansky and Bruce Carnes.
At the start of the last century, the average life span was just 45 years. Today the average for women is 79 and for men 72. What brought about this change? Can we expect even greater gains in human longevity? Today on Focus, we'll talk with researchers S. Jay Olshansky and Bruce Carnes on how to live as long as possible.
