While some people wear glasses for style, those who must wear them to correct their vision usually hate them. According to recent research, our eyesight is getting worse. Doctors predict that half the world’s population will suffer from nearsightedness within the next 30 years. And the reason this is happening may surprise you…

Kevin Mason's Daily 60 Second Podcast

Daily musings from the mind of Kevin Mason; a retired radio guy who just won't give up the microphone.  Looking for an idea of what the podcast sounds like?  Think Andy Rooney meets Paul Harvey..... with better eyebrows and less talent!
