First hour: Actor Richard Dreyfuss
Second hour: Understanding the drought in our region
Actor Richard Dreyfuss joins us; he's the keynote speaker at the upcoming East House Hope and Recovery Luncheon. Dreyfuss will talk about his work on the issue. We'll then discuss how housing is critical to recovery, and how treatment options are changing. Our guests:
- Richard Dreyfuss

In our second hour: Harvest is unfolding, but Western New York remains deeply impacted by a season of severe drought. Can you see it? Probably not; in New York State, drought doesn't look like it does in California. But we're working through the most significant regional drought in decades. How does it impact farms? What should we expect, from crop to crop? Is climate change involved? Our guests will explore those questions and more:
- Klaas Martens, local farmer
- Matt Kelly, freelance writer and photographer
