Visitors to our media center will be greeted by our digital welcome mat, and can see themselves on U•TV, an interactive exhibit where you can explore the art and science of television production. You can also take a peek inside our television studios. more...

WOSU believes public broadcasting can only be as great as the community of which we are a part, and we are part of a great community!

We are committed to building innovative models of community service that engage people in ideas, issues, and the diverse cultural life of our region. We have always been out and about in central Ohio: Ready To Learn regularly engages those who teach the young and week by week you can run into our hosts—Christopher Purdy, Boyce Lancaster, John Rittmeyer, and Fred Andrle—as they speak at live events, host live performances, and generally educate and entertain Central Ohioans!

Columbus Social Media Cafe Meet-Up
The June meet-up is CANCELLED

The Columbus Social Media Cafe is an open organization of central Ohio bloggers, social media users, traditional media and community organizations. Our mission is to inspire conversation and community action – together – through education, networking, and technology. Our vision is to create a strong social community that embraces the work of our community’s thought leaders and establishes Columbus as one of the most technologically advanced communities in the United States.

If you have ideas to share, questions that need answers or would just like to join the conversation please come out to our next meeting.

Are you a musician? Married to one? Know someone who knows someone who makes music? If so, listen up!

WOSU Public Media is in search of pieces of music to put to the Columbus Neighborhoods documentary series. While we all love a good front-man (or woman), the producer is aiming for instrumentals (time cues on submissions are helpful). Anyone interested can send their music to:
