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 Findlay has a robust community of Haitians at risk. 

Before Janelle will get us all up to speed on TPS...

One of my favorite Hens days of the year, the final tally of weekend things, and an all time bad season finale.

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 Talks.

First, THIS IS YOUR WEEKEND!

“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 our community, especially the dogs ;)

First, next week is the official OFFICIAL retirement of There's Nothing To Do In Toledo.

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, and a thought of his regarding Supergirl that I'd not even considered. 

All things Jim here.

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! Thanks to a GLP1 article I came across.

Ty from Mud Talk, and his guest LaDale, returns to get you interested and intrigued about the first ever Toledo Creators Festival. We also had quite the mental health conversation as well!

First up,

Calm Health? No. But an old practice of mine to get SOME sleep.

It was the obvious decision. Why the surprise!?

A brilliant professor acting like a dork who's upset their superhero's costume in a movie isn't the right shade of blue.

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.

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.

'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 definitely some clarity to what we can safely call a housing crisis in Toledo.

Your housing or homeowner IQ is going up 10 points after this listen!
