This year, Urbanist Media's Urban Roots podcast partnered with Cincinnati Public Radio (WVXU) to celebrate Juneteenth!
Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts are weekly, 90 second tributes to people and places important in our region’s African American history. This first one is all about the historic Regal Theatre, located in the West End.
Find each episode here, or, tune in to 91.7 WVXU on Thursdays at 5:49 and 7:50 a.m. during Morning Edition and again at 4:50 p.m. during All Things Considered. Additionally, episodes will air on sister station 90.9 WGUC each Thursday at 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
Next week's short will feature "Intersectionality at the Cotton Club", with special thanks to Queer Cincinnati's Jake Hogue.
Tune in on the Juneteenth Holiday -- Monday, June 19 -- where WVXU will present a one-hour special featuring some episodes from Season 1 of Urban Roots podcast in a special series titled "Juneteenth Cincinnati: Urban Roots", which will air at noon and 8 p.m. on Juneteenth!
