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.

This is a bonus episode of The Ohio Country podcast. In the first 12 episodes of The Ohio Country, we heard a few times from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and First Lady Fran DeWine. They spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony in Episode 2 and the ribbon cutting in Episode 12 for a new state park in Ohio called Great Council.

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.
