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 Honey Bee Genome Project
Guest: Gene Robinson.
The honey bee not only plays a crucial role in our economy and food supply, but has also become an important research tool for scientists studying disease, development, and social behavior. Today on Focus, University of Illinois biologist Gene Robinson joins the show to talk about the effort to decode the DNA of the honey bee and the light its study could cast on human health and behavior as well.
