"Independent
Living" is the first radio show in the U.S.
to be dedicated entirely to disabilities. The show provides an in
depth, three hour program dedicated to disability rights, culture and
the independent living philosophy.
The
show offers information about; American with Disabilities Act laws,
services, programs and activities in the community and around the world
for people with disabilities. The program includes stories of and by
people with physical and mental disabilities who have successfully
achieved full re-integration into society. Programming includes
interviews with legislators, community leaders, health professionals,
social service providers and others. The radio show has become

Services' Latino Disability Collaborative.

We
also recommend:
Avenue
950: Timeless Cool | WNTD AMVisit
us on the web at:www.avenue950.com
The
Avenue is a multi-genre mix featuring a balanced blend of classic and
contemporary cool that you won't hear anywhere else. Period. We call it
"Timeless Cool." It's music that matters presented in a way that radio
has never tried before. It's easy to listen to, but NOT easy listening.
It's classic. It's current. It's The Avenue...
The
Skinny & Houli show airs on Wednesdays from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and
feature interviews with Chicagoans who are making a positive impact on
the community. There are two full hours of discussion of the Good
Things that are happening in the city. Please tune in and give me
feedback on the show. I welcome recommendations for guests
and topics to discuss.
Thanks.
