DJ Robby will host filmmakers Anna Moot-Levin and Laura Green Discuss "The Providers" Documentary with Dr. Leslie Hayes, Friday 4/6 from 8-9am.

The documentary is about rural health care in northern New Mexico. It'll be a bit of a change-up from Robby's normal format, but should be really interesting. The documentary will be shown at the Full Frame Festival this weekend. Tune in at 8am Eastern!
