“Rediscovered Radio: Women’s Voices, Women’s Music in the WYSO Archives.”

In this new, 6-episode podcast series, WYSO Music Director Juliet Fromholt and WYSO Director of Radio Preservation and Archives Jocelyn Robinson celebrate the work of women musicians and radio hosts in different stages of WYSO’s history. They also critically examine the role those voices played in the local & national music scenes.

In one episode, you’ll hear excerpts of broadcasts from the Living Arts Center in Dayton, hosted by a local band whose frontwoman was a major voice in the local roots music movement. In another, you’ll learn about the profound effect that Cityfolk founder Phyllis Brzozowska and her WYSO show “A Touch of Gael” had on Dayton’s musical community. The treasures you’ll discover also include the story of how the station’s long-running “Women in Music” created a space for women musicians in a variety of genres and from diverse backgrounds.

Late filmmaker Julia Reichert credited WYSO with starting her on a media making path. Hear her story on “Making Change,” Episode 1 of the  podcast Rediscovered Radio: Women’s Voices, Women’s Music in the WYSO Archives. Subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts!
