Topical Currents

Homeless in South Florida

(08-02-2016)  Today’s Topical Currents is an inside look at the plight of South Florida’s homeless, and what lifelines are available and effective.

We’ll have observations from experts with 24/7 street-awareness in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade.

Those without homes are at-risk for violence—including hate crimes—disease, and despair.

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.
