You may know Ben Schwartz from our popular series, Ben Asks a Question, in which Schwartz poses viewer questions during Gov. Mike DeWine's daily press briefings about the coronavirus. 

Schwartz is a recent graduate of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University and just finished his fellowship at WCPO's Statehouse News Bureau. But our audience liked him so much, we decided to keep him around as a freelancer. We're happy for the ability to be a mouthpiece for the public during this time. 

This special edition of the Hear Cincinnati podcast features an interview with Schwartz from the ScrippsTalks podcast. ScrippsTalks is a podcast where director of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University Bob Stewart talks to Scripps School students, faculty and alumni about their coronavirus experience.
