12:00 CITY's ROC 10
1:00 How to cope with and communicate about a serious illness
In selecting this year's annual "Rochester Ten" cohort, CITY looked to the helpers — those who are impacting our region daily; many doing it quietly. CITY's annual "Rochester Ten" issue hit stands last week, and the crew is here to talk about all the design, storytelling and photography that happens behind-the-scenes. CITY editor Leah Stacy guest hosts this discussion.
Our guests:
- Roberto Lagares, multimedia reporter for CITY Magazine
- Matt Rogers, editor of The Lost Borough and contributor to CITY Magazine
- Jacob Walsh, art director for CITY Magazine
Then in our second hour, a rebroadcast of one of our favorite conversations. News of President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis raised both awareness and questions about how and when to communicate about a serious illness. How can patients access guidance and resources when it comes to understanding their emotions, while also sometimes needing to navigate those of friends and family? What is the role of supporters and caregivers? Our guests specialize in helping patients with these questions. They join us to share their expertise.
