Radio Hour is a new idea that I’m testing out.
In each episode, I take one topic and explore multiple perspectives from past guests.
Winning the Audition was my first experiment with this type of format format. I’d love your feedback and ideas you might have for future topics!
Today’s topic: Fitness and Healthy Living

- Alex Hanna (Chicago Symphony and DePaul University)
