Rx Kids

Today, how it started, and how it’s going with Flint’s child health experiment, Rx Kids. Also, a year of open conflict between Israel and its neighbors takes its toll in Michigan. Plus, how to get up to speed on Michigan Supreme Court candidates.

Today, Kalamazoo’s community partners come together to boost child welfare with a cash prescription. Also, a new buddy comedy in which an improv theater becomes roommates with a craft brewpub…. And hijinks ensue. We’ll meet the founders of "hear.say brewing + theater", the new spot in Southeast Michigan.
