Ear to the Ground is a yearlong radio conversation with individuals navigating Baltimore's schools, addiction treatment centers, social services, and criminal justice system. The series can be heard on WYPR 88.1 FM's The Signal, Fridays from noon to 1 p.m., with a rebroadcast from 7 to 8 p.m. Aaron Henkin is the series producer and host. Ear to the Ground is supported by a grant from OSI-Baltimore.
Henkin approaches each radio story as an opportunity to share what is elemental and universal about the human experience. He allows each guest to tell his or her own story. According to Henkin, "My hope is to share some important life stories that might otherwise never get to be heard by the world."
