Conversations From Studio B

New Day, New Time, New Format

If it's happening in Athens, you'll probably hear about it on Conversations From Studio B, WOUB-AM's weekly community talk program.

Conversations From Studio B is unique. It's not hosted by a regular radio "voice," but rather by volunteer hosts from the community. They bring their unique perspectives -- and their friends and visitors -- to WOUB's Studio B for lively conversations each Sunday afternoon.

The talk may be about civic issues, health, the arts, education, the Civil War, or astronomy.

Tune in Sundays from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. ET, or listen to selected shows from the archives on demand. For more information about Conversations From Studio B, write to: radio@woub.org.
