    Summer is here, and area schools are beginning to let out. To kick things off, we're launching a new season of WYSO Youth Radio. We’ll hear stories from students across Dayton, Springfield, and beyond. Teenagers want their voices heard, especially about issues they see in their communities. A teen-led group called BATS, or Bringing Awareness to Students, in Clark County, visited WYSO in February to create public service announcements (PSAs). Today, we will hear from BATS member Sydni Howard.

    Hi everyone! Chris Welter and Neenah Ellis here. We co-produced this podcast, The Ohio Country. We have a couple of exciting announcements: 1. Next week, on Saturday, March 1, we will release a bonus episode of The Ohio Country on all podcasting platforms. We don't want to ruin the surprise, but it will be a fairly high-profile guest. 2. Chris, Dr. John Bickers, and Talon Silverhorn will speak on a panel about The Ohio Country at Denison University this Thursday, Feb. 27.

    The Haitians in the Heartland series is a result of six months of close collaboration between the Eichelberger Center for Community Voices at WYSO with a group of Springfield residents from Haiti, who had been involved in an Internet radio station in Springfield called New Diaspora Live.

    The Fort Recovery Museum in Mercer County is located near the site of St. Clair’s Defeat, where a confederation of nine Native American tribes resoundingly defeated the United States army in 1791. Over the weekend, educators from federally recognized tribes spoke at the museum. But the weekend’s event wasn’t about a violent day two hundred and thirty years ago.
