He says that for the first time since the late 1700’s, our American community is undergoing a transformation at its core.  He’s written “The Vanishing Neighbor: The Transformation of American Community.”  Learn more on Topical Currents Wednesday at 1pm on WLRN.

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.
