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.

Cold: Adventures in the World’s Frozen Places

Guest: Bill Streever, Ph.D.

Today on Focus, biologist Bill Streever will take us through history, mythology, geography, and ecology as he chases the iciest weather around the world's coldest locations. In his recent book Cold: Adventures in the World's Frozen Places, he recounts stories of Arctic swimming holes, ice age excavations, and hibernation research in perhaps this year's chilliest science book.
