Welcome to our show! Tonight we feature the OSU student organization, Students for Food Sovereignty. On this week's Trend Watch, Youth Beat talks about the biggest thing since peanut butter and jelly: text messaging! Also hear students' expectations for our new President, Barack Obama, and perspectives on education.

Youth Beat Radio's executive producer, Dr. Kristi Lekies joins Eugene Beer, an Oberlin Alumnus and WCRS-FM Chief Engineer, to check out the environmental initiatives at the campus.

Tonight we explore the diversity of the Asian continent discovered through travel. Even close to home, there are ways to expand our knowledge of the world around us.

Youth Beat students talk about the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program offered at various high schools throughout the country, including Columbus, Ohio. Team Delta Max provides thought-provoking perspectives on underage drinking. Trend Watch covers this winter's fashion trends. We also talk about what really happens in study hall and preparing for careers that don't yet exist.

Youth Beat goes on the hunt to get student perspectives of the highly anticipated movie: Where the Wild Things Are. This week's Trend Watch will explore Halloween trends. Also on the show a student talks with someone from the Goodie Shop, a local bakery well known and loved in the community.
