WCRS Podcast - youthbeat

With high winter winds, temperatures reaching below zero and biting snowfall, winter is one season that is tough to conquer. Host Iliana will show you both perspectives of winter, from an unhappy Texan to a joyful werewolf. Join us for some winter jams, snow-time trivia, and an overall good time.

Join us this week as Youth Beat Radio travels to the Southside neighborhood of Columbus. Need something to do? Hear about the many activities of the Barack Community Center, part of the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department. The show highlights the APPS program (Applications for Purpose, Pride, and Success), a unique program for youth ages 14-21 started by Mayor Michael B. Coleman with the goal of teaching life skills and reducing community violence. We also feature interviews with Cheyenne Rozelle, playwright and director of the musical stage play “The Southside Shall Rise Again” and cast members. The play will be held this Friday, December 20 at 5 p.m. at the Barack Community Center. This show is not only informational, but encouraging because it ignites unity and pride in a community!

Tonight on Youth Beat Radio, we talk with Nate Marshall, Founder and Creative Director of NVision Performance Solutions. He is a Columbus entrepreneur who has started his own business bringing "new media to the new masses." Learn what is involved with starting a business, the benefits and the challenges. His inspiring story may get you interested in starting your own business soon.

What kinds of sports do you like to participate in and watch? This week Youth Beat explores several sports that you might not be aware of, or don't pay enough attention to. Upper Arlington reporters give us in-depth reports on fly fishing, fantasy football, girls' sports, and frisbee golf. We encourage listeners to learn more about different kinds of sports, support our athletes, and get active!
