WYSO Behind the Scenes
The big day is almost here. Our final Community Voices Training day was at the end of June. Some of the pieces have already gone on the air. My piece is set to go on next week. But all of our hard work really comes together at the Film Dayton Festival on August 26th. We’re going to have a “screenless screening” and listen to all ten of our pieces. I’m pretty excited for this. It’s been a long and sometimes frustrating journey. But I have learned so much and feel really lucky to have been a part of this. As Noah Adams says, “If radio were easy, anyone could do it.” I am proud to present nine people to you that are off to a great start:
“Sacred Harp” by Alan Staiger takes us to a shape note ‘singing.’
Will Davis tells the story of local filmmaker Justin Russell’s retro slasher film, “The Sleeper”.
Alexis Larsen profiles local artist Winnie Fiedler.
Wally Rehm finds out why volunteers at Glen Helen keep removing invasive plants – knowing they’ll eventually grow back.
“Boogie Nights” by Basim Blunt chronicles the history of funk music in Dayton.
Kristen Wicker finds out what really goes on in local man caves.
Judy Whelley looks at what happens to people in relationships with sex addicts.
Tracy Staley tells the story of Burundian refugees building community through an urban garden.
