Topical Currents

Kids In Distress Seeks Qualified Parents

www.kidinc.org

11/13/14 - Thursday's Topical Currents begins with the Kids in Distress program, guided by the Community Foundation of Broward.  It operates in Broward and Palm Beach counties—the area’s largest foster care licensing agency. Over 20 children require foster placement each week, and Kids in Distress seeks qualified parents.   In the second half of the program: Linda Gassenheimer with a Specialty Chef at Epicure Market, Michael Love.  He’s written The Salvage Chef with ways to cut food waste, save money and turn leftovers into great meals. Also, wine columnist Fred Tasker. 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.
