4 Dead in Ohio: Today marks the 56th anniversary of the Kent State Shooting by the Ohio National Guard, killing 4 students and wounding 9. May 4, 1970. One of those 9 wounded Dean Kahler, appeared on Ohio v. the World's very 1st episode back in 2017. Dean was paralyzed by our own Army on his own college campus. Many still think it's our best episode, despite us having no idea how to put together a podcast. We forgot it's on YouTube, give it a listen to find a time when the country actually was more divided than today.
