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.

Summer: Fire Season In The United States?

Guest: Stephen Pyne.

So far this year, more than four and a half million acres of land have been affected by large fires. This morning on Focus we're joined by Professor Stephen Pyne to talk about the ways nature and human activity both contribute to the increased risk of large, intense fires, as well as some of the controversy surrounding the prevention and fighting of wildfires.
