Show Topic: An Unhealthy Obsession with Celebrities

Co-Hosts: Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson (Gaman out)

Segment 1  

Today’s show is a little different because we are going to talk about addictions. Not to drugs or alcohol, but the strange and unhealthy addiction we as a society have formed with celebrities.

• (Connect) Each share our stories about the first celebrity we ever met and perhaps a story of one that surprised.
• How obsession with celebrities can lead to self esteem issues
• (Inspire) Now having met many celebrities – they are just normal people – they don’t look like the magazines and we need to stop comparing ourselves to them

MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM)

A new development from the American Chemical Society shows that researchers may have developed a super nose that can sniff out cancer. We have heard the stories of dogs that can smell cancer, and now researchers have developed an electronic nose that can sense nano particles and identify patients whose breath shows they have ovarian cancer!
