Cincinnati Magazine Podcast

Go behind the scenes of our March 2018 issue, featuring our Top List of Best New Restaurants. We chat with our dining critic Akshay Ahuja about how he compiled and ranked the list, what he wants to see and taste when he visits a restaurant, and his culinary influences. Then we have a portion of an interview our editor-in-chief John Fox did with Mayor John Cranley for a Q&A in the March issue about Cranley's second term in office. The interview features a discussion about the city's role in state politics.

Introducing a new podcast, powered by Cincinnati Magazine.

Podopolis is a very Porkopolis podcast hosted by Linsey Kraeling and Justin Williams, two very Cincinnati people. 

Coming soon are bi-weekly episodes in which Linsey and Justin will discuss the latest news in Cincinnati the way you talk about it with your friends while tucking into a burger topped with tartar sauce, or digging into a plate of shredded cheese that probably has chili and noodles underneath, even if you can't see them. Plus, plenty of random, tangential, extemporaneous thoughts on everything from food, sports, and politics to the city's endless milieu. (There will likely be much dissecting of the west side.)

Episodes are available wherever you like to get podcasts. If you are already a faithful follower of the Cincinnati Magazine pod, that's great; the first few episodes of Podopolis will appear on this feed, but there is also a separate feed. Please subscribe, download, and email Apple/your congressperson/your mom to tell them how much you love it. And feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you. 

(Our theme music is by The Yugos. Go download their stuff too!)

It's a crossover pod! Our March 2018 print issue featured a short Q&A with Beryl Love, executive editor of The Cincinnati Enquirer. This episode of our CM Conversations series features the full interview, including Love's thoughts on what it means to be the editor of a newspaper in 2018, the challenges of the industry, and the importance of local news.

Go behind the scenes of our February 2018 issue, including our cover package on how the criminal justice system works in Cincinnati.

In a new episode of our CM Conversations series, we chat with Coran Stetter, creator and director of INHAILER, an online radio station. Stetter started INHAILER last year after the WNKU sale to fill the need for curated, independent, community radio that highlights local artists. He talks about being a musician in the Cincinnati scene, what it takes to start and staff a streaming radio platform, and the strange, hallucinogenic journey it took to get there.

We continue our CM Conversations series with Jake Treviño, the owner/operator/mogul behind Overlook Lodge, Video Archive, and the new Tokyo Kitty karaoke bar opening this Friday, Feb. 9 (with robot drink servers!). Treviño operates all three of these movie-inspired bars and various pop-up events under the Gorilla Cinemas banner. We chat about his love of movies, how he ended up in Cincinnati (and in the bar-owning business), and why his creativity never stops.

Go behind the scenes of our January 2018 issue. We talk to director of editorial operations Amanda Boyd Walters about how we put together our annual Top Docs list (and the doctors who vote for themselves); chat with freelance writer Cedric Rose about his feature story on the peregrine falcons living among us downtown; and introduce our "Better Know An Associate Editor" segment by welcoming Kevin Schultz and his camouflage wardrobe.

Go behind the scenes of our December 2017 issue. We talk with Editor-in-Chief John Fox about our annual Best of the City cover package (and why a now-former FC Cincinnati player graces the cover); chat with freelance writer Lisa Murtha about her feature on Matthew 25: Ministries; and then your host explains why he wrote a story about an injured Bengals player, before hearing his discussion with rookie wide receiver John Ross from his suburban home. Basically, it's a crash course on how print deadlines can make magazine editors look stupid!

Also, be sure to come out to our Best of the City party on December 6!
