Good morning, Meigs County. Here's a story that reads like a modern fairy tale: A South Korean political science student walks into WOUB's radio station, steps way outside his comfort zone, and emerges as a globe-trotting journalist whose byline now graces Al Jazeera and Billboard. David DaYeol Lee's journey from Seoul to Athens and back again proves that sometimes the best career paths aren't the ones we initially planned.
Meanwhile, some crafty criminals along the Ohio-West Virginia border are trying their hand at a different kind of transformation - turning $5 bills into counterfeit $50s. But it's not all suspicious activity around here. Jackie O's is inviting alumni to master the art of brewing, proving that education doesn't stop at graduation. Though perhaps checking those security strips before buying anyone a round would be wise.

🎤 South Korean journalist turned WOUB radio experience into global success. David DaYeol Lee transformed from a political science student into a respected freelance reporter whose work appears in Al Jazeera, Billboard, and other major outlets. After discovering his passion for journalism in Missouri, Lee chose WOUB's radio division specifically because it pushed him out of his comfort zone. His time at Ohio University's WOUB taught him valuable lessons in storytelling and risk-taking, skills he now applies as a Seoul-based journalist covering everything from cultural stories to major breaking news.
🍺 Ohio University alumni invited to master brewing at Jackie O's event. The "Art of Brewing" experiential learning session, scheduled for Tuesday evening in Columbus, marks the second installment of the "From Grain to Glass" series. Jackie O's Pub and Brewery has partnered with the Ohio University Alumni Association to provide hands-on brewing education. The two-hour event aims to continue alumni education beyond graduation through practical experience in craft beer production.
💵 Crafty criminals turn $5 bills into fake $50s across Ohio-West Virginia border. Local sheriffs warn that counterfeiters are photocopying higher denominations over real $5 and $20 bills, making them harder to detect with traditional counterfeit pens. The modified bills can be identified by checking their security strips, which still show "USA FIVE" or "USA TWENTY," and by verifying the presidential watermarks. When held up to light, the original bill's markings become visible beneath the counterfeit overlay. Law enforcement urges residents to carefully examine $50 bills and report any suspicious activity.
