KNOXVILLE — Not many doctors make house-calls anymore. Family physician Dr. Zorba Paster makes thousands, nationwide, each week on Zorba Paster On Your Health. From Public Radio International, the hour-long call-in radio program debuts on WUOT 91.9 FM on July 2. Zorba Paster On Your Health airs Sundays at 11 a.m.
Dr. Zorba Paster Paster joins co-host Tom Clark to talk about what’s new in medicine, share tips for healthy living and share a low-fat “Heart-Healthy Recipe of the Week.” Sandwiched in between, Dr. Paster answers health, fitness and nutrition questions from listeners.

Zorba and Tom have an easy rapport and irreverent sense of humor, so the show is not only informative but also fun.”
