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.

Guest: Francesca Grifo.
Scientists are often called on to advise the government in the process of making policies, but a growing number of scientists complain that the Bush administration has suppressed and distorted scientific findings when they conflict with the administration's political agenda. Today on Focus, Dr. Francesca Grifo joins us to discuss the potential consequences of this clash between science and politics.
