Join us for an inspirational podcast with Mr. Jon Feinman, the founder and Director of InnerCity Weightlifting in Boston, Mass.  Using exercise and sports to promote positive social values is not new - but the courage and vision to directly take on violence and work to reduce violence through weightlifting is incredibly unusual.  Mr. Feinman takes us on a journey from his life as a soccer player to an inner city activist who is working to reduce gang violence through sports and exercise.

Today we are joined by Dr. E. Lisako McKyer from Texas A&M.  Dr. McKyer is an expert in Health Promotion and Prevention and before you tune out, you should know that this is a kickin' podcast.  We cover a wide-range of issues including why Health Promotion is still relevant in our 'sickness medical model' and why Health Disparities research actually covers everyone.  We even talk about exercise and sports!  So give it a listen.

One of the most difficult conversations we might have is how race plays a role in sport, so why not have the conversation?  Join us today as we chat with Dr. John Singer, a noted scholar on the role of race in sport.
