Been too long since I've caught up with Tim Tegge, Executive Director of the Sight Center, but also, a true renaissance man! I adore our conversations and it was great to have him back in the studio.  First! What happened to The Paper. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gary Pillette, founder (and friend) of Monroe Comic Con visits, with his friend and teammate Rhino (yes, THAT Rhino), to preview this weekend's event. One of the highlighted guests is a not often seen former Red Wing champion! Also, how Gary got this whole endeavor started, and some wrestling memories with Rhino. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a bit of unmentioned irony that Tim Polakowski and Amy Rowe from Monarch Grief Center are back for a visit to talk about their upcoming fundraiser and just how much the center has grown in a very short period of time; but there's still room for you if you believe their services can be of help. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed Beczynski is running for Toledo city council and he's also opening a grocery store downtown. You can't vote for him fast enough after hearing that, right!? Settle in for a LONG episode to hear Ed's Toledo perspectives and how he may be asset in city government. If that's not enough, Ed also lives in my old place downtown, and he owns the Blarney and Focaccia's. To be totally candid, I don't know which of the incumbents I wouldn't vote for, but I can easily see myself giving Ed my vote. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Food Policy Manager that is. That's Mara Momenee's role with the City of Toledo, and she's our latest guest to visit to talk about erasing food deserts and making quality food more accessible.  We also start where we usually conclude our interviews; with the quirky stuff. In this case, Mara's 2012 Student of the Week piece from back in 2012.  First... Newsy things. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A small preview of what we/I can expect when I get to guest host WTOL's Good Day on Thursday. Before that... N'dre the Ironhorse, continues on. The Paper is going binge mode. The Rock a potential Oscar winner for portraying a Toledoan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Charles and Sadie part of FilmToledo visit to share some BTS of the movie that was filmed here last summer, much of which they couldn't discuss at the time.  Before that... Possible season change alert. Watch me on TV! He should try to go pro. Let me be your AI guinea pig. Hop to around the 16:00 mark if you're just here for Charles and Sadie!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's Students Demand Action. They want an end to gun violence. So inside of us adults yelling about the issue, let's hear from high schoolers about it. First... DRU HILL IS COMING!  Returning a favor for an invite I received last week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

18-22ish roughly speaking.  A summer intern from Yale at the Blade hasn't been able to find much to her liking during her time here. Not surprising. We are MUCH friendly and appealing to people just slightly older than her. THE OPED. Before that... LOTS of successful events this weekend! Taylor must ensure this whenever the next tour arises. He's staying, and there's no way they were getting a postseason ban. Glimmers!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A very very stressful Thursday due to a fluke (I hope) phone glitch. Shoot. I forgot the thank you. Thank you Christina Rodriguez for the tour of Laurie's Place! Smaller parking lot can solve a lot of problems.  How to not kill yourself with my pal Chat GPT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Director of KTLCB, Keep Toledo Lucas County Beautiful, Adam Cassi returns to invite you to the second Green Time in the 419 on Sept 4th, but also, helpful recycling tips. First, UT should put that billboard right near BGSU.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been some time since I've totally spoiled a movie (clap emoji) but in that, I disliked the highly regard Weapons so much, I need to share some thoughts. Before that... The Paper seems like a blast. Wow, didn't expect them to be that expensive!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's a bit sensational, but it got your attention! Alea Nadeem is running for congress and she was kind enough to have a lengthy visit! We'll talk to the veteran about... Redistricting, being a political outsider, how she views Toledo after being gone for some time, bringing jobs back here, the opioid epidemic, being a Muslimolic, or that a Cathlim?! It was a delightful and long visit with Alea.  First, my favorite part of Jeep Fest and someone finally asked the questions of Maumee. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I get why many people are upset they didn't get to see Sugar Ray, or Fastball, on the BNL tour last night. The trailer for the movie filmed here last summer. The Lions kickoff the season tonight. It's probably going to be beyond Krazy. Toledo crime is down. But turn those cameras back on. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Had no idea who that was. And that it's a place now! So thanks to old visitor Shelby Mallory for bringing by Julia Hage to talk all things Anne Grady. First... Praise for a childhood sports idol of mine. Another adventure in Let People Enjoy Things.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, this came out of nowhere and likely to be a (cannon) blast, because this is the creation of (Crazy) Bob and Beth Turner. They're the masterminds behind the frightening and fun Haunted Hydro.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hulk Hogan died. Legendary in the ring, a bit infamous outside of it. Busy week in the Maumee political scene. Reborn dolls. Before you say they're creepy... Enough with curating.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A rock legend, who a lot of us (me!) didn't really know until a TV show, has died. When it doubt, be hot! He DID look unsettling without the facial hair...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Medications, EMDR, or talk therapy not working on your mental health issues? Perhaps Exomind is something to consider. I saw Michelle Fuhr from Health 419 on with Tony Geftos a few weeks ago. As someone who tried something similar years ago, I had many questions for her.  First, it's probably not recovery, but a friend made a good point. It, while very unlikely, could happen again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toledo's preeminent historian, Tedd Long, returns to talk about his new book, Table For None: Lost Eateries of Toledo. Seeing menu prices from LONG ago makes the whole book worth it! Before that... Another helpful use for Chat GPT. A good friend helped me, let her help you.  Goodbye Salute. Luxury puzzles? No thank you. The crime, yes crime, of killing tarantulas.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
