Food editor from the Blade Mary Bilyeu is back! She had her first visit to Odd Fodder. 

Also in my chat with Mary, Friday's isn't bad, candy corn pudding, Banza rice, Rosie the puppy, too many good places to eat, and restaurant work and wages.

Before my visit with Mary some local people to highlight, then the first time I've ever brought up a meme with a therapist, and for the last time I'll try to convince you spring and summer are the superior seasons. 

I had to bail on my visit to TMA to see my friend Katie Shelley, but I was able to grab her for a podcast visit.

She's going to prep me for Friday's interview with TMA's Rhonda Sewell.

Katie talks about her newly developed role at TMA, and her visions for its greater accessibility.

Another fantastic human in our community visits today. Rachel Gagnon, the Executive Director of the Toledo Lucas County Homelessness Board, visits to add some context and backstory to of homelessness. You may have seen the recent story about Warren Commons near the OWE being approved. She will speak on that as well. 

It took me too long to track her down for a podcast visit, but it was absolutely worth the wait.
