Dear Mr. President: The Environment And The U.S. Role In World Affairs

Dear Mr. President

Since December, WYSO has been collecting your audio letters for a project we’re calling Dear Mr. President, which asks what you want to say about your community – and what you want President Donald Trump to know about the Miami Valley. 

Today, we’ll hear letters about the environment, climate change and the United States’ relationship to the world.

WYSO's Dear Mr. President project asks what you want to say about your community. This episode was produced by Jess Mador and featured music by composer James Pants. Special thanks to our WYSO Dear Mr. President Library-Day partners.

Jess Mador comes to WYSO from Knoxville NPR-station WUOT, where she created an interactive multimedia health storytelling project called TruckBeat, one of 15 projects around the country participating in AIR's Localore: #Finding America initiative.

She’s also worked as a staff reporter and producer at Minnesota Public Radio in the Twin Cities, and produced audio, video and web stories for a variety of other news outlets, including NPR News, APM, and PBS television stations.
