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.
Survival of the Sickest: The Surprising Connections Between Disease and Longevity
Guest: Sharon Moalem, Ph.D.
Today on Focus, Dr. Sharon Moalem talks about how many of today's diseases may actually have been beneficial to our ancestors in the long run. In her recent book Survival of the Sickest, she explores how we perceive our bodies, our health, and our relationship to other living things, and how little modern medicine may understand about human health.
