Join us for an evening with Dr. Zorba Paster. This family doc’s enthusiasm and contagious laugh have made him a favorite with health conscious public radio listeners for over a decade.

The Chicago native first appeared on radio as a guest expert on Wisconsin Public Radio's statewide newsmagazine "Morning People" with Tom Clark. The two clicked, and Zorba became a regular guest on Clark 's statewide, morning drive-time call-in show. They were so well received, WPR teamed the two for this weekly, national talk show Zorba Paster on Your Health.

These days, in addition to hosting a national show, Zorba mentors medical students as a clinical professor in the Dept. of Family Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also keeps busy with a family practice, numerous speaking engagements, and travels abroad.

His book, The Longevity Code: Your Personal Prescription for a Longer, Sweeter Life, was published in February 2001 by Clarkson Potter, with a forward by the Dalai Lama. It's available from Amazon and The Radio Store.

In his free time, Zorba's an avid traveler but always makes time for cooking, baking and spending time with his wife and family in rural Oregon , WI. He admits to indulging in junk food and a passion for good coffee and good chocolate. But Zorba says he makes up for his occasional indulgences by swimming and biking in summer and, in winter, enjoys downhill skiing in Northern Wisconsin and Colorado.

Join us on New Beers Eve for a chat with famous local brewer David Knuth, owner of Knuth Brewing Co. New Beers Eve commemorates the day before the end of prohibition in 1933.

Few people are fortunate enough to turn their hobby into a career. David is one of the lucky ones. It all started with a gifted home brewing kit from his father-in-law. From the first batch of beer he was hooked, a spark was ignited. David opened the doors of Knuth Brewing Company in April of 2015.

David will share his journey in beer brewing, offer insights on the process and answer audience questions. And of course, there will be beer samples!

More information will be added as we get closer but please save the date.

If you’re a dog lover attend this educational talk regarding research on Dog Empathy. Julia Meyers-Manor says research shows that dogs respond with comfort to an individual who was crying whether that person was their owner or a complete stranger. The results suggest empathy for the person crying because this attention from the dog did not happen when the owner or stranger were laughing.

“Lending a helping paw: Dogs will aid their crying human” was written with Emily M. Sanford of John Hopkins University. It describes an experiment run by Meyers-Manor, wherein 34 sets of dogs and their owners were recruited. Each owner sat in a chair behind a clear door that the dog could easily push open. Half the people were assigned to cry loudly for help, and the other half were told to hum “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and say “help” in a calm voice.

An article co-written by Julia Meyers-Manor, Ripon College assistant professor of psychology, has garnered widespread attention nationally and internationally, including coverage from Time, NBC News, Inside Edition, the Daily Mail, The Conversation, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and numerous other print and broadcast outlets.

Thank you for your interest in this program. This program is postponed with a new date to be determined.
