WGLT's Sound Ideas 10/03/19

Hear from ISU researchers who are trying to develop a new crop from a weed, much like corn developed, but faster. John Sedbrook tells Ryan Denham all about pennycress, a potential cover crop and jet fuel producer. Plus, sportswriting legend Dave Kindred has an exhibit of his working life at Illinois Wesleyan University. Jon Norton talks about the tension between virtuosic instrumental chops and singer songwriter values in a profile of Old Salt Union. And there's a lot of drama in Springfield about Abe Lincoln's hat. Or maybe it wasn't Abe's after all.
