Meet Eric B. Turner, a four-time graduate of The University of Akron, who is known in one world as psychologist Dr. Eric B. Turner and in another as Eric B. Turner, the entertainer. As you will hear, Turner describes those two worlds as "occupation" and "destination." He's worked with legends on many stages (think Broadway and Aretha Franklin), performed worldwide, and he's going to be in Akron at House Three Thirty on Friday, June 7. More about Eric B.
