Johanna Greeson, PhD candidate, School of Social Work, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, stops by to discuss "Caring Adults R Everywhere", and the positive role mentors can play with teens facing life on their own, often as young as 18 years old.

Leontyne is a remarkable host. Her ability to extract key information from her guests for her listeners is a marvelous asset. The show was so natural, so conversational, that I rescheduled an important meeting as my interest was piqued for this broadcast. I look forward to chatting with her on our upcoming program May 13. Tune in.
