America’s First Crisis: The War of 1812, "America’s Forgotten War"

11/12/15 - On Thursday’s Topical Currents, we begin with Lynn University Professor Robert Watson, who’s written America’s First Crisis: The War of 1812, a fascinating account of what’s called, “America’s Forgotten War.” And more.  Linda Gassenheimer details Miami’s Urban Oasis Project, which not only promotes sustainable gardening, but runs a 22-acre farm in Homestead. That’s Topical Currents . . . Thursday at 1PM.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
