KWIT | By Mark Munger

Department stores reflected the time and the culture within which they were situated. Talking with Cecil Ogle, who began cutting hair in the Martin's solon in 1960, I learned about the styles, the conditions, and the culture. Join us on this trip back into Younker Martin's, and its predecessor, TS Martin Co. You will also hear from Saundra Hayes and Flora Lee.

Mark Munger first began listening to public radio as a child in the back of his Mom's VW Vanagon, falling in love with the stories on Morning Edition and Prairie Home Companion and the laughter of Click and Clack on Car Talk. Through KWIT, he was introduced to the great orchestras and jazz artists, the sounds of folk and blues, and the eclectic expressions of humanity. This American Life and Radiolab arrived in his formative college years and made him want nothing more than to be a part of the public radio world.
