Episode 11: Neenah Ellis and Luke Dennis of WYSO

Sally Kane

It's Spring Fund Drive at WMMT and this week we're talking about radio!  What is this thing, and why does it matter?  Why is it unique in today’s world of constant visual media input?  What makes community radio different than commercial?  And, we’ll learn about the life-long professional and personal journeys of two super cool women in radio.  Neenah Ellis’s parents ran a small commercial country radio station in northern Indiana when she was growing up.  Neenah went on to work at National Public Radio in Washington, D.C.  for 30 years, before becoming the general manager at WYSO in Yellow Springs, Ohio.  Sally Kane’s parents started a small community radio station in a coal mining community in Colorado when she was a kid, and she now directs the National Federation of Community Broadcasters. Neenah &amp; Sally talk about their histories with radio, their love for the form, and why they believe in the community radio model.
