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.

Infrastructure in the United States

Guests: Robert H. Dodds and Imad L. Al-Qadi.

Years of neglect and deferred maintenance have weakened many of the nation's bridges, highways, and tunnels. More than 73,000 bridges across the country have been found to be "structurally deficient" by inspectors. This morning on Focus we'll talk American infrastructure wih Robert Dodds and Imad Al-Qadi, both professors of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois.
