On the December 14th edition of WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call, host Rick Moore chats with Meredith Richards, former City Councilwoman, on her work with Charlottesville Citizens for Better Rail Alternative, an advocacy group dedicated to providing convenient, cost-effective, clean, and comfortable passenger rail service from Charlottesville to Washington, D.C.
On the December 7th edition of WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call, host Rick Moore examines the difference between Seasonal Affective Disorder and what is commonly known as “Holiday Blues”. To explain the physiological affects of SAD, Rick speaks with Dr. David Moody, the Medical Director of Region Ten, and Jenny Oliver, Executive Director of Mental Health America (Thomas Jefferson area). These two experts explain that stresses of the holiday season, in addition to the global financial problems, can conspire with the affects of winter weather to create a depressive state.
It’s an annual tradition: Rick talks with Steve Bullock of Edgecomb Auto and WNRN’s own Rusty Cempre of Price Hyundai-Isuzu about prepping your car for the winter season, what to check when buying a used car, and other automotive questions.
