A Fun Treat Coming Your Way....

...provided you're an Early-Bird! On Monday, February 6, from 6am to 7am, I will have Dan Weber, local singer-songwriter, on my Folk Espresso show.  Dan's a fellow you just wanna have in your circle of friends: engaging, talented, smiley, loquacious, and generous. He's young, he's energetic, and he's making a name for himself with his music. My guess is he'll go places (and I'm talkin' bigger than biker dive bars in East Peoria). You might wanna come along for the ride.

Put this little special on your calendar. Heck, program KBOO permanently into your radio....!

Hosts Celeste Carey and Cecil Prescod interview Kathleen Gerson about her latest book "The Unfinished Revolution: Coming of Age in a New Era of Gender, Work, and Family."

In the controversial public debate over modern American families, the vast changes in family life--the rise of single, two-paycheck, and same-sex parents--have often been blamed for declining morality and unhappy children. Drawing upon pioneering research with the children of the gender revolution, Kathleen Gerson reveals that it is not a lack of "family values," but rigid social and economic forces that make it difficult to have a vibrant and committed family and work life.

Host Dr. David Naimon talks with author and licensed pharmacist Suzy Cohen about her book, "Diabetes Without Drugs: The 5-Step Program To Control Blood Sugar Naturally and Prevent Diabetes Complications." Most doctors consider diabetes a one-way street--once you have it, your only option is to manage symptoms with a restricted diet, close monitoring of blood sugar and expensive medications. Cohen discusses how you can treat diabetes through safe, natural means, all backed by scientific studies, rather than strictly relying on pharmaceuticals.
