ATHENS, Ohio (WOUB) – This Place of Silence: Ohio’s Cemeteries and Burial Grounds was published earlier this month by Ohio University Press.

The book includes entries about cemeteries from each of Ohio’s 88 counties, providing photographs by Randall Lee Schieber and Ian Adams paired with insightful text from Robin L. Smith.

In this episode of Conversations From Studio B, WOUB’s Emily Votaw interviewed Schieber and Smith, as well as designer Emma McAdams. Listen to their conversation by clicking “play” in the Soundcloud embed above.
