Episode VI: Cultural Connections

Human beings have been fascinated with cicadas for generations. These visitors have spurred stories, symbols and artifacts because of their rare appearances, one-of-a-kind look, and their song of love. 

Find out more about the roles cicadas have played in this episode with Dr. Gene Kritsky from Mount St. Joseph University and WVXU’s Cory Sharber.

Cory Sharber attended Murray State University majoring in journalism and political science and comes to Cincinnati Public Radio from NPR Member station WKMS.
