Radio Baha'i, WLGI is back up to full power as of late afternoon Monday. The air conditioner was replaced with an excellent unit that should last for years, and it is doing a great job of cooling. In fact, I may need to keep a jacket in the transmitter building now.

The silver lining of operating at very low or low power for 3 weeks is that it pushed us to launch online streaming. So now, if you live within our broadcast area you can listen on a regular radio, listen on your computer at home or at work, or listen on your smart phone or tablet. So many choices!!

If you live or travel outside of the FM coverage area, then take us with you via online streaming.

Please spread the word that we are back on the air at full power, and that your friends and family can listen to us online as well, wherever in the world they are (as long as they have Internet access, and some kind of computer or mobile device).

We have some good news for you! The air conditioner for our transmitter building is being replaced Saturday (9/28). If all goes well with the installation, we should be back on the air at full power by the end of the day. If not, we will be off the air until Monday afternoon. We will be off the air completely while they are working in the building, but we will continue our online streaming.

On October 1, big changes are coming to the nation's healthcare system, as the government opens its online marketplace, or 'exchange,' for purchasing health insurance. On this edition of Insight, Radio Baha'i's Bhkati Larry Hough, Greg Kintz, and Colin Hill discuss how that will affect South Carolinians, how much care the plans provide, and why uninsured people should consider buying coverage.

Insight airs Monday and Wednesday at 10 a.m., 7 p.m. and midnight E.T. You can also listen to the full show here.

Here's a good video from the Kaiser Family Foundation that explains what health insurance will be like after the reforms go into effect:

Healthcare.gov has useful information and a tool to determine what kind of options will be available Marketplace after October 1. The AARP also has an easy-to-use fact sheet.

If it weren't for the thousands of clinical trials involving human participants that medical researchers conduct every year, there would no way to know if new drugs or methods of treatment would be safe and effective for use by humans. More than 3,000 clinical trials have been conducted in South Carolina since 1999. However, the rates of participation in trials for African Americans and other minorities are very low, and medical authorities in the state and around the nation are working to increase participation by African Americans and other ethnic minorities. Among them is Dr. Marvella Ford, associate director of cancer disparities at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Dr. Ford on the current edition of Insight.
