Talkin' TPS
GOTCHA! It's not Toledo Public Schools, though with school returning and the transformative times the district is in you were as fooled as I was, when Janelle Metzger from Water for Ishmael reached out wanting to talk TPS. Temporary Protected Status. This is not a distant or unimportant issue as F…

Historic New President
Today's guest played an integral role in ensuring I could stay here when things went (predictably) sideways with my work in 2017. A few weeks ago we had a speaker from Rotary on. Now let's have their historic new President in to really dive into what they do besides having weekly Toledo mini Ted …

Person Is Good, Pet Is Good
“When we see an animal struggling, chances are that person is struggling as well.” That's a quote from a 13 ABC story with new Executive Director of the Toledo Humane Society, Sam Wolbert. Sam expounds on that sentiment as we get to know him and what his vision is for a very important part of ou…

Every Brand New Day Spoiler
My guest agrees. If spoilers would upset you that much, you should've seen it by now. Happy to welcome back pulp writer extraordinaire Jim Beard. I saw he had some time off, so extended an invite, and the timing was right to chat Spider-Man, excitement for Doomsday, where things going after it, an…

Good and Lotsa Bad of Youth Sports
Voice of Whitmer football Chris Schmidbauer is in. One, to talk about what he does, two a small season preview, but moreso lots about youth and college sports! I've never had a deep discussion about local high school sports, until now! First, a reason to bring up my Number System Theory again! Tha…

Past Guest, New Topic
Dr. Brittany Jones from council returns to talk post-partum challenges, and then a few minutes on the safety levy they pushed to the ballot this November. First up, wow, didn't know there was so much disdain for a profession that put Eric Dumpty back together numerous times.

Avocado Emoji!
I forgot to correctly title this yesterday, but what's there now works! She's a local small biz success story with some delicious guac and chips, but before we get to Danielle Arbinger and Guac Shop... My new job. Showing sheep. These kind of apocalyptic times.

Toledo's Housing Issues
'The best loan is the one you can get.' Took me too long to get Rob Pasker in here. He made a run at council last fall and he's a prominent local realtor. I read some of his quotes from his talk at Rotary a few weeks ago and wanted to get him in here to offer some possible solutions and definitel…

What's Going On With Reading!?
I came across a piece about the end of reading at a good time; as Nancy Eames from the Library visits to talk Summer Reading, but also so much more, including her insights on how we got here. Err, there. First... Goodbye JV. The reframing from foreigners has been very helpful. Good luck to Do…
