Can we talk?  Yes, we can, and it’s sure to be real.
Susan McCabe hosts REALTalk on voiceofvashon.org and  KVSH, 101.9 every second and fourth Tuesday at noon PT.  REALTalk is the half-hour show that unleashes curiosity in search of truth — on any topic.  Susan  brings in experts to answer questions about everything from the history of the Women’s Movement,  to mass incarceration and Black lives to what to do when you have a medical emergency at home, diets that work… and ANYTHING else that makes you wonder.

Send topic suggestions to susan.mccabe@voiceofvashon.org. And, tune in to satisfy your curiosity for REAL.

REALTalk’s theme music is composed and performed by Luke McQuillin on guitar, with the late Jack Barbash on piano and Fletcher Andrews on drums.  Enjoy!
