Annual interfaith iftar in Miamisburg nears 2 decades of 'bridge building between communities': Dayton Mercy Society in Miamisburg hosted its 18th annual Interfaith Iftar on Wednesday, February 25, 2026 – inviting members of different faith traditions to break fast and learn more about Ramadan. State Representative Munira Abdullahi spoke at the event, answering questions about her faith and work at the statehouse. WYSO’s Shay Frank has more on how this tradition reaches beyond sharing a seat at the table for a meal.
Two strangers talk about what being Ohioan means to them: 'The people here are scrappy': Together with StoryCorps, WYSO invited community members to take part in One Small Step, a program that brings together people from the region to have meaningful conversations with someone they have never met. In this episode, Hailey Clark of Dayton and Sheila Miller of Yellow Springs discuss how their Ohio roots make it easier to connect with people across party lines. Hailey begins the conversation.
