You're listening to 88.5 WYSU Rat Race.

I'm still out here on tour with Colin Blunstone.

I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

It was an awesome bar.

Well, the conversation didn't stop there, but hey, folks, we're out of time.

Thanks for joining us for another episode of Rat Race right here on WYSU 88.5. Don't forget to join us every Friday at 2:00, and now every Saturday at 3:00.

And of course, keep it tuned on 88.5 for Polka Road every Sunday at 4:00 with your host, Gary Ramey.

So, why the change? Well, this summer, I talked with several public radio stations and formed a founding partnership with a wonderful station.

They're actually one of the first NPR charter stations, WYSU out of Youngstown.

And the team over there and I started talking and we were like, what would it be like to have these stories shared? that you're hearing every week on public radio and so i put together a pilot i called it shortwave stories and then it turned into a series it got some love from glenn washington the executive producer and creator of snap judgment and many stations run shortwave stories as a lead-in to snap judgment on the weekend so that's been pretty cool plus they run it during the weekdays during different news holes that they have throughout the week And the crazy thing that's happened is that we started it this summer and it's already grown and is being syndicated on 14 stations.

And I got regional and national syndication in my sights.

In partnership with WYSU, Peppermint Presents.
