Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, President, Craig Rust, phoned into WMAN to share about starting up the 64th season of racing at the historic track.

LEXINGTON, Ohio (June 6, 2025) – The 64th season of racing begins today at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with thrilling International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) sports car competition at the O’Reilly Auto Parts Four Hours of Mid-Ohio (June 6-8, 2025).

Aaron Hines has a simple belief: the most compelling stories aren't found on a global stage, but right outside your front door. In Local Talk with Aaron Hines, he turns that belief into conversation, exploring the unique texture of community life that often goes unnoticed. This isn't about headlines or viral moments; it's about the people, traditions, and quiet dramas that define a place. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a familiar diner or lingering on a park bench, where the discussion flows from the challenges facing a neighborhood bookstore to the history behind a beloved annual festival, or the unexpected ways a city's character shifts from one block to the next. You'll hear from longtime residents, local artists, small business owners, and civic volunteers-voices that collectively map the soul of a community. The podcast thrives on genuine curiosity, offering a slow, thoughtful listen that complicates our idea of "local" and celebrates the specific details that make somewhere feel like home. It’s for anyone who wants to listen more closely to the world immediately around them, discovering the extraordinary narratives woven into the ordinary fabric of daily life.
