WYSO WEEKEND: January 13, 2019

WYSO Weekend

Wright State University is preparing for a planned faculty strike January 22. University administration officials say the school will remain open even if faculty head to the picket line.  As WYSO’s April Laissle reports, news of the potential walkout is being met with confusion by some Wright State students returning to campus for the start of the new semester.

Today’s Bulletin Board Diaries entry comes to us from a coffee shop in Oakwood. That’s where a business card caught our attention -- not so much for the service it promised but for the name of the business on the card.  Wave Judd is the owner and tattoo artist of Raditattoo Me Tattoo and Repair Parlor in Belmont. Wave’s story is as much about redemption as it is about the art he creates for his clients’ bodies. 

The Gammon House in Springfield serves as an important placeholder in American History. Built in 1850, the home of free, George and Sarah Gammon, was a major stop on the underground Railroad. In this conversation, Gammon House Director Dale Henry tells us about the home’s history and the extreme risks these “free people of color” took as they helped others to freedom.

We have no control over certain things in life that have a huge impact on how we grow up — like whether or not we have any siblings. Today’s Dayton Youth Radio story is from an only child. Here’s project coordinator Basim Blunt.

 

Wrapping up our program is Bill Felker with Poor Will's Almanack.
