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.

Encore: How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like

Guest: Paul Bloom, Ph.D.

Today on Focus, we're joined by psychologist Paul Bloom, author of How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like. He'll explain how human pleasures are not rooted in our sensory impressions of any given thing, but our belief about that thing's nature—its history and origin included.
