The Antioch College campus is rich with maple trees. This year, Antioch College decided to take advantage of their resource and tap the trees on campus for sap to make maple syrup. Wyatt Souers talked to the Antioch College Farm Manager Kat Christians, who started the project, the farmers who are helping us with the tapping, and finally the Antioch College Food Service Coordinator Isaac Delematre. Tune in to hear all about how the syrup was made and why this project was important to Antioch.

Public broadcasting stations like WYSO have large libraries of stories that aired years ago, but often that audio can't be accessed because the archives are on tape, a format most stations aren't using regularly. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in cooperation with WGBH Boston and the Library of Congress, decided that it was time to bridge that technological gap.

Zeb Reichert spoke with Karen Cariani of WGBH and Neenah Ellis of WYSO to learn more about this national undertaking known as the American Archive project

The Miller Fellowship program has been a part of the Antioch College cooperative education system since the reopening, but many people, including students on campus aren't quite sure what it is.

Antioch College recently hired some new faculty members that began teaching this Fall.  Among them was Gabrielle Civil, associate professor of performance.
