Hey there Ypsi Stories listeners! This month’s episode is going to be coming a little later than usual, and it’s going to be a two parter! This month, in honor of Labor Day, we’ll be learning about how the labor landscape changed in Ypsilanti and Willow Run in the 1930s and 1940s with the arrival of the United Auto Workers union from Matt Siegfried. Matt has so much knowledge to share that we just couldn’t fit it in one episode, so keep your ear out for a new, two part episode, later this month! Then at the beginning of October, in honor of Halloween, we’ll learn about the history of the Highland Cemetery from James Mann. That’ll close out the first year of the Ypsi Stories podcast! But don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere! We have many more local stories to share, and we’ll keep putting out new episodes each month!

As always, you can find links to all our episode pages with additional materials including pictures, videos, biographies, and bibliographies at ypsilibrary.org/ypsistories, and of course, the best way to be notified when the newest episode comes out is to subscribe to Ypsi Stories (that’s two words) on your favorite podcast app!

Hope you have a great end of the summer, and we’ll be back very soon! Bye, but just for now!
