This is Fascinating Ohio – a show from All Sides and WOSU where we introduce you to people from the Buckeye State with an interesting story to tell.
Rex Alba, a home chef from Columbus, won over the hearts of anyone who watched the most recent season of “The Great American Recipe” on PBS and WOSU-TV. His kind demeanor, enthusiasm for cooking, and love for his competitors shone through on the TV screen.
We have unintentionally deprived our younger generation of the experiences we grew up with. That's what author and Columbus local, Adam Ferguson, is conveying in his recent book The Things You Have to Do Before I Buy You a Phone.
And Ohio ranks among the top nationally for refugee intake. Our Helpers is a women-led nonprofit on a mission to improve the lives of immigrant and refugee families in central Ohio.
Guests:
- Rex Alba, chef, "The Great American Recipe" competitor
- Dorothy Hassan, professor/researcher/CEO of Our Helpers
