Ohio State
Dr. Jason Rawls is referred to as the professor of hip hop.

Ohio is full of fascinating people.

People whose passions infuse their careers or their hobbies, and sometimes both in some cases.

This hour, we’ll meet a hip-hop artist who’s bringing the music form to his students and, yes, he actually is the professor of hip hop.

We’ll also meet a native Ohioan who credits a high school class with sparking her interest in volcanoes and her career assessing their activity levels.

And finally, an avid Ohio State football fan continues a tradition begun by his father.
