Wasn't expecting the Mitch Miller situation to arise again. And it ended as quickly as it returned. A question, when/how is someone redeemed? The answer is, it's different in all of our eyes.

Alex and I had a blast hosting the Does Toledo Have Talent event at the Maumee Indoor. 

Aaron Carter died, and Jessica Simpson's Pottery Barn ad drew attention.  

I fear Twitter will die. The beginning of the end of social media.

And it's STILL too busy. 

So Bethany is a DJ. And a prom queen. Things we didn't know!

Well before that, a recap of her EXPENSIVE family trip to Disney World.

Alex encountered two equally unsettling Halloween costumes on Monday.

Taylor fans and her concert ticket prices.

Bethany DJing and what those kids are into. 

They're nice, but I don't really do milestones or awards. Though I will gladly accept the serendipity of my good friend Dorothy Mockensturm from Good Grief, visiting to talk about Discovering Good Grief, on this momentous episode.

First...

Wow. Go Falcons.

Go Bill Berry and Stritch! 

2.5 tons of recyclable glass, one hour, the Imagination Station. Thanks to Amy for joining to talk Toledo is going to break that Guinness record Saturday. And why you should throw them $5 on Tuesday.

Before Amy...

The Buckeye Cable 'tax'

Raising Canes opening earlier today. 

Taylor gonna keep her ticket prices manageable?

$9 lettuce.

Toledo talent show.

Another source of depression in kids. 

I'm not going to give you a warning that this could be upsetting. It's nothing more graphic than what you've heard here before. 

Tia Tiggs, Andre's daughter, is here. She shared her mental health journey when I visited her Dad's class in the Spring. By all logic, she shouldn't be here now. I'm glad she is, and want you to hear her story. 

Tia's around the 15:00 mark.

First, of course Taylor is intentional, no debates is OK with me, the Apopcalypse, and a new Netflix show. 

If you see all the violence on the news that has you (rightly) upset, then you have to see the good efforts on the news in our community that can be remedies for said violence. Is that asking too much?! Fewer rallies, protests and praying and more spreading the word of places like Center of Hope, The Program, Young Men and Women for Change, everything the library does. 

Starbucks may automate before you can unionize.

Time to stand against Kanye. The lines been way crossed.

We all thought the same thing about that Tremainsville home.

Waterville amphitheater vote bumped to Nov 28.

It was Taylor's time and no one else's as Midnights arrived.

A pet costume contest.

Toledo gets some love on a MASSIVE Instagram account.

Lots of theft, all over. 

A wrap up of the first season of House of the Dragon.

A friend/mentor suggested I connect with Amy Remer way back in January. And through the Ability Center the connection finally happened about a month ago.

I didn't invite Amy on to talk about her disability and its advocacy. I found her story to becoming a mom absolutely extraordinary. I hope hearing what challenges Amy and her husband have maneuvered through give you some inspiration and motivation. Whether it's to never give up, keep fighting, owning your attitude, something will strike you, in a positive way, from Amy's story.

Please also watch her visit with Chrys Peterson in an episode of Authentic Authors!

Whenever I see something of note regarding labor, I digest it and then often share it with recent guest Erika White. I have an idea, one that's unlikely to work, to help workers gain more ground.

Also, $64k in searches for the city!? Yea.

Janet Amid is here to share some recent and future astrological outlooks. 

Two excellent guests from two totally disparate happenings. First...

So glad I saw that was a Ryan Murphy show before I dove in.

The Rihannassaince continues with two Black Panther tracks!

You don't get to choose what attracts you.

Rap icon turns 50!

Chelsea from Downtown Perrysburg visits to talk about the city's upcoming 21+ Halloween party.

Then, Connie White from the Sylvania Prevention Alliance about next Saturday's drug take back day.
