First hour: ROCovery Fitness and the battle against addiction

Second hour: Rochester Music Hall of Fame welcomes a new class

ROCovery Fitness is helping individuals with addiction, many of them in recovery from heroin and opioids. It's another sign of the times -- ROCovery is in great demand, with the addiction issue spreading across both urban and rural areas. Next week, ROCovery will celebrate the grand opening of the new recovery outreach center. We'll hear personal stories of those in recovery:

  • Yana Khashper, co-founder and CEO of ROCovery Fitness
  • Sean Smith, co-founder of ROCovery Fitness
  • Tadd McNulty, ROCovery member
  • Marabeth Nally, mother of two sons in recovery

The Rochester Music Hall of Fame is getting ready to welcome a new class of inductees. We'll talk to some of the members and have some fun with local music. Our guests:

  • Bruce Pilato, RMHF board member and show producer
  • Jack Whittier, RMHF board vice president
  • Joe Beard, 2017 inductee and legendary blues musician
  • Gary Lewis, 2017 inductee and 1960s hit maker
