KVCR, a PBS station for Southern California, is running a three-month series on the impact of the financial crisis in The Inland Empire in the form of a weekly live call-in program titled, “It's Your Call.”

Each week a new focal topic has included experts from the financial markets, health care systems, teachers, and others to answer your call-in questions. Questions have included emergency assistance for families in financial crisis, hospital care for those with or without insurance, social security, and other topics concerning California citizens.   

Join local host, Roger Bowman, as he asks the experts how to survive, how to protect ourselves, and maybe even how to thrive financially during this uncertain time. The one-hour program, It's Your Call, airs Fridays at 7pm on KVCR, the Inland Empire PBS station, broadcasting on channel 24 in Digital, DirecTV and Dish networks.

And my interest - other than a concerned citizen? I'm proud to say Roger is my son.
