What keeps the Jews of 1905 Anatevka going is the balance they achieve by following their ancient traditions. And the lot of Jews in Russia is as precarious as a fiddler on a roof: trying to eke out a pleasant tune, while not breaking their necks.

Tevye, Golde and their five daughters know and accept these truths. Or do they?

Explore these traditions through the music of "Fiddler on the Roof" 10am this Friday with host Joe.

Enjoy lots of big band hits and Kristin's live updates from the Dearborn Farmer's and Artist's Market too!

It's all here this Friday, from 10am - 1pm.

Since her first public radio performance at age five, Melody Anderson has held her audience captive. She has worked with such artists as "The Four Tops", Aretha Franklin, Paul Rodgers of "Bad Company", Ashford & Simpson and many more.

Anderson recently undertook a major recording project with some of the best jazz musicians in the region. Original songs, penned by her father, Doug, over 50 years ago, were revived and turned into the album, "Fantasy Land".

Meet Melody, and her dad, on this special Father's Day edition of "No Boys A-Loud" Saturday, noon 'til 2pm, with host Lynn.

Join host Mike Holloway as he explores the 2000 year-old world of acupuncture with guests Nora Madden and Jalyn Spencer. The acupuncturists from "Detroit Community Acupuncture," in midtown Detroit, discuss the methods, modes, benefits and body's responses to acupuncture.

In summary, acupuncture is about balancing two opposing and inseparable forces: yin (sold, slow, passive) and yang (hot, excited, active).

Virg Bernero, current Mayor of Lansing, who hopes to be the MI Democratic Party's candidate for Governor in the Nov. election, will be interviewed this Friday on "The New WHFR Journal," 1-2 PM.

Andy Dillon for this nomination in the Democratic Primary Election on August 3.

Author Travis Walton, "Fire in the Sky", joins host David Twichell this Tuesday to discuss Walton's 1975 alien abduction.

While there have been countless claims over the years and around the world of people being abducted by otherworldly beings and taken aboard some sort of space craft, few provide suitable evidence to sway the skeptic. Evidence such as multiple witnesses of an event, conscious memories of the onboard experience, official documentation, positive polygraph tests, and physical trace evidence on the ground.

Join host Jay Korinek as he welcomes special guest Mayor John B. O’Reilly to "The New WHFR Journal" 1pm this Friday, May 28.
