The Talk of Athens
If it's happening in Athens, you'll probably hear about it on Conversations From Studio B, WOUB-AM's 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.
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, weekdays at 9:00 a.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.
