We got a long one!

The first twenty minutes with Michael DeSanto and Charles Wetzel are them explaining FilmToledo, which is now the official film commission for the city. Want to see more big movies and scenes take place here? They can facilitate that. They also can and want to help aspiring actors and actresses in the area. 

After that...

I asked the guys to explain the strikes that hit Hollywood. 

Their favorite actors and performing periods, what got them into what they do, what movie/TV hill they will die on, where is the streaming world going, what would make going to the movies more appealing and then we wrap it up with the first and last podcast episode of Trek in Toledo. 

Thanks to my good friend at the Imagination Station, Andi Roman, for bring Chief Scientist Carl Nelson to chat about some of the thing we can expect on April 8th. WHAT IS HAPPENING ON APRIL 8TH! Cue Aerosmith. Kidding. 

Carl is whetting his eclipse appetite in Oregon (not the East Toledo suburb) this weekend for an annular eclipse.

First, my cart is full...but not with Whole Foods items. They closed. 

I will ask you a question and you can answer it and you can see for yourself why Trader Joe's isn't here and probably won't be for some time if ever.

First, I turned Sunday TV on and all I got was some dumb game!

No need to thank me. Thank YOU!

Shhhhhh. The Lions are the C word. Which is arguably better for sustainability 

There's a TON going on in the coming weeks at the East Toledo Family Center, so Jodi and Shelby are back for their third visit to share all the updates.

First, perhaps some incentives to kill this invasive species that's arrived in the area. A kill list?

The latest with Travis and Taylor, including more Kelce family anecdotes from Alex. 

One of my OTHER concerns about the medical field showed finally showed itself.

It wasn't racism, but classism! This unstoppable, possibly unfixable, cycle that continues in most cities. 

That number 20 represents the number of veteran suicides. 

I listened to Jason speak at Nike Lecata's Run For Life event a few weeks. He spoke about mental health and veterans in way, and with a passion, I'd not heard before. It was almost intangible to explain. 

So, podcast invite! 

Jason will talk about a great deal of his experience going in and then out of the army, and if you can make it to the very end, you'll see my wanderlust of where he is in his life!

IT WORKED! Well enough anyway. I ran my phone's voice recorder app while on stage this past Saturday at Franklin Park Mall. 

It was a 20 minute conversation that I could've carried on for hours. My friends at the mall who put on Kix Con asked me to host a panel with Rogers' own Darryl Brown. creator of Midwest Kids.

LOVED hearing about his rise, seeing his humility, and watching how his creative and strategic mind worked. 

Enjoy!

Jaden and Bethany are on today to talk some of the biggest local news stories of the week, their first few weeks of schools, and lots of music talk!

Some thank you to begin the episode, which gets me to what it IS easier to do these days when it comes to transactions. 

I'm slowly migrating more to Threads. 

Taylor Swift affects things!

A nearby Crop Circle festival. 

Maybe he WANTED to get caught to avoid what we're all plagued by. 

Really, why? Are you just sleep walking through life, school, work, date, get married, make kids, die...

WHY? To wipe your ass when you're old? What if you don't have a relationship with them? 

What in you is driving you, besides 300,000 year old DNA, to procreate!?
