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.
Plague Time: How Health Infections Cause Cancers, Heart Disease, and Other Deadly Ailments
Guest: Paul Ewald.
Today on Focus, we'll talk to a challenger of the conventional knowledge that our genes and environments are the causes of most serious illnesses, including cancer and heart disease. Paul Ewald believes that these problems, among others—ulcers, miscarriages, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's—all come from infectious origins. He'll talk about what led him to this conclusion and his book Plague Time today on the show.
