We revisit two previously aired interviews on WestSouthwest. A Kalamazoo doctor writes about the history of health care. And KRESA's Superintendent discusses what time school should start.

Kalamazoo Doctor Ken Fisher has written about health care issues before. His new e-book attempts to explain how the current health care system came to be. He joined us in May to discuss his book Understanding Healthcare: a historical perspective. 

Earlier this year the online news service Bridge asked if high school should start later in Michigan. One of the people they talked to for the story was Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency Superintendent Dave Campbell. Campbell spoke with us about the issue in June.
