About this episode
This episode features stories about changing landscapes, including perspectives on Toledo, a movement for recreational trails, and efforts to reconnect with Mill Creek.
This week on “The Midstory Hour,” we’re featuring stories about changing landscapes. You’ll hear the fifth episode of Midstory’s newest original podcast, Brain Drain, which looks at Toledo through the eyes of the people who’ve left it behind. Next up is a story about a movement that aims to connect America through turning unused railroad tracks into recreational trails. Finally, hear what residents of Mill Creek, a watershed just outside of Cleveland, are doing to reconnect with this forgotten natural treasure. “The Midstory Hour” is a weekly radio show by Midstory, a nonprofit organization dedicated to telling stories that inform, interpret and inspire for the region and to the world. “The Midstory Hour” spotlights the best of Midstory’s content, connecting regional stories into national dialogues and featuring behind-the-story conversations with Midstory’s writers from across the nation.
