Gwen McFarlin grew up on a tobacco farm in Clermont County.

How did that experience prepare her for a career in politics?

The Hamilton County Democratic Party chairwoman joins That's So Cincinnati for an insightful chat about her rise to the position; working across aisle; managing the divide in her party; and those hot summer days stripping tobacco.

Plus, TSC co-hosts Sharon Coolidge and Jason Williams discuss absentee Cincinnati City Council members; waiting in painfully long lines at the BMV; and taking the streetcar, er, bus from Downtown to Uptown for an FC Cincinnati match.
