Sunday, Aug 29, 2010 – Noon-1:00pm Fired: Tales of Jobs Gone Bad
Just ask actress and commentator Annabelle Gurwitch. Shortly after landing a part in a play directed by her idol, Woody Allen, she was fired because of so-called “creative differences” between her and the director. Gurwitch channeled her disbelief and bitterness into something more constructive, creating the show you’re about to hear. She began calling up her friends and colleagues, and found that everyone had a compelling and often hilarious story to tell.
Fired: Tales of Jobs Gone Bad was created by Annabelle Gurwitch, with a little help from her friends Carl Capotorto, Jason Kravits, Paul F. Tompkins, Jim Turner, Charlayne Woodard, and Roy Zimmerman.

Sunday, Aug 15, 2010 – 11:00am-Noon Grand Challenges: Engineering Pharmaceuticals
Engineering Pharmaceuticals explores one of the major causes of rising health care costs – development of new drugs. It can cost up to a billion dollars to bring a new drug to market. This program goes behind the curtain and shows how drugs are created and looks at efforts to bring down the cost.
This program takes a step back and explains what, exactly, drugs do; how they actually act to attack diseases. We hear the sound of pharmaceutical scientists making new drug compounds as they explain the process and where its costs lie. And we learn how engineers are helping redesign the drug manufacturing process to try and bring costs down. We also learn the ramifications of these high costs in places where people can barely afford food, let alone much-needed pharmaceuticals.
We hear the story of a college freshman who suffered a rare brain tumor at age 13 and is now living with the consequences of his treatment. We hear about his struggles and triumphs as he lives every day with the after-effects of his adventure in the world of pharmaceuticals.
Engineering Pharmaceuticals produced by Richard Paul and hosted by Barbara Bogaev, is part of the Grand Challenges Series from the Purdue University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science and the Purdue College of Engineering.
