WYSO Weekend: February 2, 2014

In this edition of WYSO Weekend:

  • News that caused a lot of people to reflect on the past and their love and respect for the legendary Pete Seager who died a week ago Monday.  The following day, filmmaker Julia Reichert sat down in the studio with Niki Dakota to remember the musician and share audio from her interviews with him.  Here’s a good portion of that conversation.
  • Michael Groomes is the founder and Artistic Director for SMAG Dance Collective in Dayton.  The organization is about to celebrate their 10th anniversary.  I spoke to Michael by phone about what’s taken place in those 10 years and what the group is all about.
