Launched in the Height of the Depression, a Radio Station Carried Ozarkers Through

In this podcast, host Jim Baker talks with Ozarks historian Ed McKinney and radio broadcast historian Wayne Glenn on what the call letters KWTO stand for and the impact the station has had on the region over the generations.
