WYSO Weekend: April 10, 2016

On today’s WYSO Weekend, Dayton Youth Radio, WYSO Curious and our occasional arts series, Culture Couch. Later in the program, you’ll hear about some local citizens who provide freedoms rides to animals in need, and up first, the next in our series Women's Voices From The Dayton Correctional Institution. See Details Below.

  • Women's Voices from DCI.
  • Today on Dayton Youth Radio we'll hear a story from the Dayton Early College Academy. It's from a teenager who's trying to get the support he needs in his life, after coming out to his friends and family. Project coordinator Basim Blunt introduces the story.

Up next we’ll talk to two people who have a lot of heart and passion for the work their doing. Kathy and Gary Turnipseed are with Ruff Rescue Transport—an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization that helps bridge the gap for animals needing a ride to rescue facilities, and either foster or forever homes. They call these transports Freedom Rides and recently, they joined me here in the WYSO studios to talk about the work they’re doing. And when you’re checking out that website – the spelling is R-U-F-F Transport.org 

  • In this WYSO Curious, our series where listeners ask questions that we answer on air and online, WYSO listener Delaine Adkins lived in Budapest Hungary for a couple years and was curious about an historic area in Dayton called Hung-Town. She wondered whether there were still any residual influences from the original occupants.Community Voices producer Renee Wilde heads downtown to find out.

  • WYSO's Culture Couch: Libraries have always had books—but these days they provide more services than just literature. Community Voices producer Steve McQueen met a young library enthusiast—who uses the library for ART.
