In this episode, we engage with Cory Bowman, a former mayoral candidate for Cincinnati, discussing the recent election results and the ongoing issues facing the city. We delve into the low voter turnout and the implications of the election outcomes, particularly regarding public safety and city management. Cory shares personal stories, including the tragic shooting of an 11-year-old girl, which highlights the urgent need for better public safety measures and community engagement. He emphasizes the importance of accountability among city leaders and the necessity of bridging the gap between the police and the community they serve.
The conversation also touches on the challenges within the Cincinnati Police Department, including staffing shortages and the need for better support from city officials. Cory advocates for a more proactive approach to public safety, suggesting that simply increasing funding is not enough. Instead, he calls for a comprehensive reevaluation of how public safety funds are allocated, ensuring that they directly benefit the community. The episode concludes with a call to action for citizens to hold their leaders accountable and to remain engaged in local governance, especially in the wake of the recent election.

🚨 Tech Friday 🎉📡

We kicked off the new year with a packed Tech Friday radio segment covering some stories that directly affect your daily life in 2026. 🗓️✨

First up was the Verizon outage 📶❌ and how dependent we’ve all become on reliable connectivity — one disruption can ripple through work, travel, and emergencies fast.

Next, we highlighted the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act 🛡️🔐 and why it’s a big win for consumers, giving Kentuckians more control over how companies collect, use, and protect personal data.

And to keep things fun, we wrapped up with the “Worst in Show” CES products 🤖🎭 — tech that made us laugh, cringe, and question who approved it.

Smart tech starts with smart conversations! 🧠🚀
