Local Cancer Research
August 22, 2017
New research by local cancer experts is getting national attention. The team from Community Health has found that cancer patients and their doctors may not want to jump right into a process called Next Generation Sequencing. This may seem counterintuitive, but today's No Limits guest, Dr. Sumeet Bhatia, says it may be the right plan for many patients, especially when it comes to the use, benefits and cost of NGS.
Community Crime Prevention
August 15, 2017
There are concerted efforts taking place all over Marion County this summer to shift the current balance away from crime and toward community. If you were faced with an escalating conflict, would you know how to resolve it peacefully? Our guests will be from two of the recipients, Sharvonne Williams of the Martin Luther King Community Center, and Jennifer Darby of Indiana Black Expo which began a powerful media program to support their "I Am Your Brother/I Am Your Sister" conflict resolution campaign.
No Limits at the Indiana State Fair

Life After High School
August 1, 2017
Life after high school isn't what it used to be. These days many high school students feel like they're faced with tough choices in terms of debt, their educations and future job opportunities. Today on No Limits, Dr. Vince Bertram of Indianapolis-based Project Lead The Way talks about his new book, "Dream Differently: Candid Advice for America's Students."

Our guests are Dr. Tara Benjamin, IU Health; Dr. Pat Clements, IU Health; and Laura Hollowell, Assistant Director of Clinical Services for Volunteers of America and its Fresh Start Recovery Program.
Author Milton Chen
July 25, 2017
Indiana is now known for its wide variety of PreK-12 educational choices, but that affects educators as well as students and their families. Today on No Limits our guests will be Dr. Milton Chen, author of the best-selling book Education Nation and senior fellow at Edutopia (following his directorship of the George Lucas Education Foundation), and and Dr. Shawntel Landry, the new president of the American College of Educators, based in Indianapolis. Dr. Chen is the keynote speaker at this Saturday's graduation of 2,200 teacher from ACE at the Palladium in Carmel.
Nickel Plate Railroad
July 20, 2017
The future of the Nickel Plate Railroad in central Indiana is caught up in politics and sentiment, litigation and prospects. Should the rails remain in place, be replaced with trails, or a combination of both? With the Indiana State Fair, a popular destination for rail riders in years past, right around the corner, these questions are more pertinent than ever. Our guests today on No Limits will be John McNichols of the Indiana Transportation Museum, Mike Corbett of Hamilton County Business Magazine, and Kyle Kinnett of Bullseye Event Group.

She explores questions of race and particularly what it means to be white in America during times of continuing racial inequality. She'll be joined by Reverend Anastassia Zinke of All Souls Unitarian Church, which is hosting the open seminar Saturday, July 22, 2017.

If you've been looking for a modern-day reflection of Indiana, Tornado Weather, about the case of a missing child and all the ripples it causes in the fictional community of Colliersville, could be your next summer read.
Indianapolis Youth Homelessness
