Radio Smart Talk for Monday, September 26:

Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know program comes to the Forum in Harrisburg Saturday morning at 10:30 for a nationwide broadcast.  It's a unique opportunity for Central Pennsylvanians to see and hear the witty, longtime host of one of the most popular programs on public radio.  Feldman joins us on Radio Smart Talk Monday morning at 9 and no doubt will have a few surprises.

Tickets are on sale now by calling (717) 214-ARTS (2787) and through this link. This performance is expected to be sold out, so the public is advised to obtain tickets before the show date. Because the performance is broadcast live, everyone should be seated by 10:30am, in anticipation of the 11am start time.

Also, a sputtering economy has led to more Americans living in poverty, according to a report released earlier this month.  The statistics are out now for Pennsylvania and they too indicate that there's been an increase in the number of Pennsylvanians living below the poverty level, which is defined as an income of over $22,000 for a family of four.  Monday's program will feature Stephen Herzenberg of the Keystone Research Center to discuss the figures and why there are more poverty stricken people in Pennsylvania.
