As “Connections” host Evan Dawson steps away for a break this summer, WXXI Health, Equity and Community reporter Racquel Stephen will be hosting the first hour of the show over the summer. She'll bring you the same long-form conversations, in-depth exploration of issues, and variety of content that you're used to hearing.
In the second hour each day, we'll bring back some of our and your favorite conversations from the show.
Connections airs every weekday from noon-2 p.m. Join the conversation with questions or comments by phone at 1-844-295-TALK (8255) or 585-263-9994, email, Facebook or Twitter.
Connections is also livestreamed on the WXXI News YouTube channel each day. You can watch live or access previous episodes here.
