In this week's episode, the U.S. has approved a vaccine for use against the coronavirus. We have the detail on it and on how it will make its way from manufacturers to your neighborhood.

Plus, we meet some of Ohio's most famous astronauts in this week's  Know Ohio and take a trip to the construction site of the world's largest space launch pad.

It wouldn't be our last episode of 2020 without a few holiday stories! Check out the world's largest menorah and tag along as a signing Santa makes a special stop for deaf children in Michigan.
