WOSU believes public broadcasting can only be as great as the community of which we are a part, and we are part of a great community!
We are committed to building innovative models of community service that engage people in ideas, issues, and the diverse cultural life of our region. We have always been out and about in central Ohio: Ready To Learn regularly engages those who teach the young and week by week you can run into our hosts—Christopher Purdy, Boyce Lancaster, John Rittmeyer, and Fred Andrle—as they speak at live events, host live performances, and generally educate and entertain Central Ohioans!
