Ypsi Stories takes a look into our community’s past through storytelling. Featuring historians and experts, we hope that by sharing more perspectives and voices from our past, we as a community can have a better understanding of our collective past, present, and future! Look for a new podcast quarterly wherever you find your podcasts.
