Don't miss the latest episode of the OGS Ohio Roots podcast where we explore the remarkable efforts of the Hagley Museum and Library in Delaware to preserve and share Ohio’s broadcasting and film history. We're joined by Kevin Martin and Jim Culley for a fascinating conversation about the legendary "Ohio Story" radio and television series, Cleveland’s Cinecraft Productions, and newly digitized recordings and films that bring mid-20th century Ohio culture back to life for modern audiences. Listen at www.ogs.org/podcasts or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
