    Coming soon! Season 2 of Untangled: Immigration

    Let's be honest, these days immigration feels like a four-letter word. Compromise in our current political environment feels impossible and a showdown at the Texas border feels inevitable. But Ohio isn't Texas. Our borders don't touch other countries, but we are touched by immigration.

Niiiiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeeee ,

Consistent relevant quality and quality info

Anna and the WOSU team do an incredible job informing Ohioans on what is important to us. There are consistently really interesting guests that Anna asks great questions to make sure we get the most out of the hour. Whether its whats going on at the statehouse/ohio supreme court, new technology’s usefulness/benefits/or dangers, the protests on college campuses, or tips on health/personal finance, you’ll learn about all the things you didn’t even know you wanted to.

A great show! Ann will be missed!

All Sides with Ann Fisher was the first NPR show I got hooked on back in 2015. Because of this, I became a member of WOSU.

Ann’s shows—particularly the weekly reporter roundtable and conversations with Ken Rudin were deeply informative. I also always looked forward to Tech Tuesdays and Wellness Wednesdays.

Ann said on her last show that All Sides will go on and I’m sure it will continue to be successful, but we will definitely miss Ann. I listened to almost every episode since 2015 and her warmth and inquisitive approach to both local and national topics really helped me to understand so many different things.

Good luck, Ann, on your future! You will be missed!!! Thanks for being such a engaged member of the Columbus community. Enjoy your retirement!

Waiting for it to get better.

I used to listen to this show everyday. Now maybe a hr a day if I can get through it. Shows come and go I guess.
