The Forum this week.

The Forum: Friday Jan 10th at noon. Repeats Sunday morning Jan 12th at 8 o'clock.

Hear from a panel of doctors, teachers, and a dentist, who are centered on providing care to patients but have to grapple with the overhead of a clinic, the paperwork of billing, and the executives who run medicine like a business. On this rebroadcast of an Oregon Health Forum from earlier in the fall, hear the doctor’s diagnosis of the business of healthcare.

“Germany was perfect for heavy metal,” says Stefan Kaufmann, former drummer with Accept, one of the country’s most important metal bands. “Although we always sung in English, the German language and heritage was very hard, and gave us a natural affinity with that sort of music.”

Join Geoff on January 8th for a new episode of Force of Fury. "Metal from Germany" Do you know a metal or hard rock fan? Have them listen anytime at KMUZ.org.
