Valley Public Radio

On this week's special two hour Valley Edition our reporting team takes a look at the issues of valley fever, folic acid in corn masa and LGBT healthcare in rural California.  We also are joined by the Fresno Bee's John Ellis, Fresno State's Lisa Bryant and KSEE 24's Evan Onstot for an election recap with VE host Joe Moore. Later in the show we'll hear about Lori Clune's book "Executing the Rosenbergs: Death and Diplomacy in a Cold War World." We'll also hear about a new documentary called "A Late Style of Fire: Larry Levis, American Poet." Country music star Ray Benson of Asleep At the Wheel also joins us to talk about his upcoming visit to Bakersfield.
