The show will include features on Skyward, the Boone County Library’s Robot Zoo, the history of the Licking River by NKU history professors Paul Tenkotte and Brian Hackett, and a fun, informative story about Matt Grimes’ Colonial Cottage and its record prominence in the goetta world. (Hint: they sell more than anybody — and the amount will surprise you. The rest of the world is just surprised about goetta).

Here is the schedule for the second program. It is a regular monthly series.
