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.

Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge

Guest: Edward O. Wilson.

How are chemistry, biology, and art all related? Today on Focus, we'll talk to entomologist Edward Wilson, author of Consilience. In his recent book, he discusses links between fields of science, from brain chemistry to the biology of cave paintings. We'll explore these remarkable syntheses today on the show.
