The U.S.'s surprise reversal on decades of accepted dietary recommendations opens the door to meat and fats and loosens the rules around alcohol. What does it mean for doctors and their (rightfully confused) patients? We discuss that, along with the significance of Mattel’s new autistic Barbie and the likelihood of resurgent measles with Dr. Joe Sirven. He also takes your calls on any health care topic. Call (904) 549-2937 to reach the doctor on air, or visit firstcoastconnect.org to submit a question in advance.

Guest: Dr. Joe Sirven, Mayo Clinic neurologist and Host of WJCT’s What’s Health Got To Do With It?

Mapping our past at the library
Then, the Jacksonville' Public Library’s elegant Ansbacher Map Room this weekend will be the backdrop for a discussion called Mapping Our Past, highlighting a project by two scholars focused on telling the story of Florida’s history through maps. Beginning with the 1511 Martyr Map, the project includes modern views of Florida from space and the digitization of more than 10,000 historical maps. We meet the researchers ahead of the Saturday, Jan. 17, event.

Guests:

Tammy Kiter, librarian, special collections, Jacksonville Public Library
Rodney Kite-Powell, director of the Touchton Map Library at the Tampa Bay History Center
Gamble Rogers music series
Finally on Wednesday's show: a preview of an upcoming concert series celebrating the legacy of St. Augustine’s Gamble Rogers. The Gamble Rogers Folk Festival features intimate monthly concerts at the St. Augustine Waterworks. This month, award-winning singer-songwriter Wil Maring and virtuoso guitarist and fiddler Robert Bowlin come together for a performance Saturday, Jan. 17, at 7 p.m. The following months include appearances by Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sunny War, guitarist and harmonica player Pat Bergeson and renowned jazz guitarist Bruce Forman.
