WYSO Public Radio is pleased to welcome a new show to its evening music line up. The Jewel Case will air on Thursdays, 8-11pm beginning January 7, 2016. The Jewel Case will feature “deep cuts and forgotten musical treasures and curiosities” curated by host Tod Weidner, who will frame each week’s show with a theme.
“I am delighted to officially welcome Tod Weidner to the WYSO music broadcasting family,” says WYSO Music Director Niki Dakota and host of WYSO’s mid-day music program, Excursions. “It was exactly a year ago he began training to fill in on Excursions, but it quickly became plain for all to hear that he should pilot his own ship of songs.”
A lifelong Miami Valley resident, Tod Weidner grew up in Ludlow Falls before moving to Dayton in the early 1990s. He graduated from Milton-Union High School and Sinclair Community College, and also attended the Columbus College Of Art & Design. Weidner has been heavily involved in the Dayton Music Scene for over 20 years, as both a solo performer and a member of The Motel Beds, Shrug, The American Static, and Set The Controls, among many other local bands.
“I’m so incredibly excited to be hosting The Jewel Case,” says Weidner. “Love of music is contagious, and I’m looking forward to doing my part to spread the bug!”
