When Will We Stop Moving to the Riskiest Regions?
For the last 50 years, Americans have flocked to the warm, sunny South. But, as climate change makes extreme heat, hurricanes, wildfire and flooding worse, will that trend ever STOP? Well, some regions might just be showing signs of a reversal, and they hold lessons for what other areas might expect as the world continues to warm.
Weathered is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.
We can’t wait to see you next year, Luminaria Walk! Happy Holiday’s, everyone! 🎉

Now Entering... Middletown
NOW ENTERING…MIDDLETOWN, a video scrapbook of its people, places and history as seen through the eyes of its residents, premieres live at 8 p.m. Wednesday, December 4 on Ball State PBS and at ballstatepbs.org, on the PBS App and the Ball State Public Media App.
Community members collected video footage and still photos to showcase the stories that make their town unique. Then the Ball State PBS production team traveled to Middletown to record interviews at the Middletown Fall Creek Historical Society with our storytellers, which serve as the narrators for each of their stories. On December 4, some of those storytellers will be in the Ball State PBS studios for the live pledge program to talk about their experiences and take your phone calls.
NOW ENTERING…MIDDLETOWN explores the history of Middletown with a local historian, the Meyer and McCoy family history and Middletown Cossacks basketball.
The program includes stories about the volunteer ambulance service, the volunteer fire department, the police department, the local public access channel, the growth of the Church of the Nazarene and Day’s
Full Service Gas Station.
And finally, NOW ENTERING…MIDDLETOWN shares the importance of the Middletown library, the farmers market, the Lions Club and what the Middletown Planning Committee and Middletown Mainstreet are doing for the town.
Other towns that have been featured in the series include Portland, Pendleton, Knightstown, Upland, Alexandria, Tipton, Winchester, Rushville, Hartford City, Fortville, New Castle, Eaton, Cicero, Yorktown, Union City, Anderson, Elwood, Hagerstown, Richmond and Gas City.
