The first season of "The Ohio Country" is a 12-episode podcast series.

Hear a perspective on the history of the region we now call Ohio that very few of us learned in school. We'll center the experiences of Miami, Shawnee, Wyandotte, and other American Indian people in a refreshed version of the state’s complicated past and undecided future.
