Introduction / Moderator:  Rodney Erickson / Katie O'Toole

Bio: Joel Weintraub is a "humorous educator" who has managed to merge the formerly disparate worlds of comedy and health education. By combining his professional comedy experience with his masters degree in Exercise Physiology and his bachelors in Health Education from Temple University, Joel has entertained and educated audiences as diverse as universities, physicians, nurses, teachers, superintendents, dietitians, the PTA, and even burglar alarm installers. From the "World Bank" to Dangerfield's Comedy Club to major radio stations, the local news and the Food Channel... they have laughed and learned with "Humor for the Health of it."
