BG Ideas Podcast
BG Ideas is a podcast produced by the Institute for the Study of Culture and Society (ICS) and the School of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University.
Each episode features conversations about timely issues with influential subject matter experts such as Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, whose testimony before Congress alerted the public about the Flint, Michigan water crisis, alongside BGSU professor and medical geographer Dr. Karen Johnson-Webb; and Maurice Cherry, graphic designer and creative strategist whose podcast was the first to be added to the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), in conversation with school of art teaching professor Taylor Simone.
Each podcast is researched, written, edited, and sound engineered in part by BGSU students.
