Valley Edition - December 4, 2018 - Hanford's Brain Drain, Flu Shots, "Segregation By Design"

On the next Valley Edition: When you think brain drain, do you think...Hanford? A recent Bloomberg article said this small farming town is at the top of the list. We head to Kings County to find out what’s really going on in terms of education and opportunity.

We also learn about a new program to fight domestic violence in the Valley, and visit a flu shot clinic to determine what’s fact and what’s fiction about this effective but highly polarizing vaccine.

Later, we begin a new series called Mind The Gap, where we speak about society and culture to two people with an age difference of 60 years. And to close, we speak to the cast members of The North American Tour of Disney’s “The  Lion King,” performing in Fresno this week.

Listen to the podcast above to hear more.
