For our first program of 2026, we were joined in studio by two gentlemen from Carillon Historical Park. They are the co-authors of "A Living Landmark: The Story of Carillon Historical Park." Alex Heckman is a vice president for that organization, and Steve Lucht is a curator there. We had a lively discussion about the history of this Dayton institution.
And it was wonderful to see Steve Lucht. He worked at WYSO for a number of years, and I had not seen him since 2003. When I hosted the Excursions music program every weekday back in those days, Steve engineered many performances by musicians who appeared as guests on the program.
The Book Nook airs Saturdays at 7 a.m. and Sundays at 10:30 a.m. on WYSO 91.3 FM and streams at WYSO.org or wherever you get your podcasts.
The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library, Clark County Public Library, Dayton Metro Library, Wright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public Library.
