WYSO is partnering with Stats and Stories, a podcast produced at Miami University.

We are nestled in the rolling hills of southwestern Ohio, in the middle of the Midwest. While we might get the occasional tornado, we are mostly safe from hurricanes, tsunamis, and long stretches of subfreezing temperatures, but what about earthquakes? This is the subject of today's episode of Stats and Stories. Stats and Stories. Richard Campbell, chair of media journalism and film, is joined by regular panelist John Bailer, chair of Miami Statistics Department. Their guest is Kathryn Miles, a journalist, prolific science writer and college professor, and she's author of four books includingSuper Storm, Nine days inside Hurricane Sandy. Her most recent book isQuakeland - On the Road to America's Next Devastating Earthquake. She apparently knows a lot about natural disasters.
