Jerry Kenney began volunteering at WYSO in 1991 and hosting Sunday night's Alpha Rhythms in 1992. He joined the WYSO staff in 2007 as Morning Edition Host, then All Things Considered. He's hosted Sunday morning's WYSO Weekend since 2008 and produced several radio dramas and specials. From severe weather to election nights, Jerry can be counted on as a trusted anchor of local coverage.

In 2009 Jerry received the Best Feature award from Public Radio News Directors Inc., and was named the 2023 winner of the Ohio Associated Press Media Editors Best Anchor/News Host award.

Some of his signature projects include the occasional series Bulletin Board Diaries, which focuses on local, old-school advertisers and small business owners. He is also the producer of WYSO's Mayor Series, helping our community get to know the various mayors through the Miami Valley.

He has also returned as the co-host Sunday night's Alpha Rhythms. The show highlights music that will 'transport your mind, inhabit your body, and transform your soul.'
