 THE WORLD PARTY NOW AIRS TWICE A WEEK ON WCRS!

TUESDAYS at 7PM AND SATURDAYS at 8PM

The World Party features energetic and eclectic dance and party music from all corners of the globe!

• Show 52 originally aired on April 5, 2011.

• Show 52 features alternative rock and party music from the 1980s originating from England, the United States, Australia, France, Germany, and Spain. Exciting music that helped shape a generation of party-goers all over the world!

On this week's show, Youth Beat addresses a number of issues that challenge us to examine our assumptions about things we know, don't know, or haven't thought about. How do labels affect our perceptions of others, or create stereotypes and misperceptions? We hear about the value of family traditions and the importance of being open-minded, even when these traditions don't seem so exciting to us. Does anyone close to you have Type I diabetes? Learn first-hand some facts about the disease and ways we can all be involved in better self-care of ourselves. We also hear about a seldom-discussed topic: What happens when an older sibling goes off to college? How do we adjust to the changes in our lives? And even though holiday season is over, we hear some tips for recycling Christmas trees that we can think about and put to use next year.

Bob Fitrakis and Connie Gadell-Newton discuss a Senate Bill that requires voters to show a government-issued photo ID at the polls with guest attorney Cliff Arnebeck.
