WYSO went on the air 60 years ago, and we’re celebrating by listening back to some highlights from our historic audio collection.
The WYSO archive includes the voices of elders from all over Ohio, like this one: Earl Gregg from West Jefferson. In the early 1980s, Mr. Gregg was 94 years old and he read for the radio from the notebooks he kept about his long, colorful life. He spoke with Jeff Hooper from Little Miami Theater Works.
