Scioto Valley Conversation

We’re Back! Local Happenings, Car Corner, and a New Voice

The Scioto Valley Conversation is back, and Jason Boothe welcomes new co-host Heath Mastroianni for some friendly conversation and a look at what’s happening around southern Ohio.

In Neighborhood Notables, Jason shares upcoming events in Pike, Ross, Scioto, Jackson, and Highland Counties, including Fleetwood Gold at Chillicothe’s Majestic Theatre, a Roy Rogers movie program in Portsmouth, the Boone Rock Trail ribbon cutting in Jackson, and turkey bingo in Hillsboro. There’s also an early reminder to save the date for Waverly’s Christmas in the Park.

Then Heath introduces Car Corner, featuring a new Ford F-250 King Ranch, a pre-owned Ford F-150, and a pre-owned Mazda 6 from Vallery Ford. He covers vehicle features, advertised pricing, and rebate information to help you get started on your next vehicle search.

Along the way, Jason and Heath tackle an important seasonal question: Is it time for Christmas music, or does Thanksgiving deserve a little breathing room?

Clifton’s music captures something familiar to anyone who has ever driven a quiet highway after dark or watched the glow of a gas station sign in the distance. Drawing inspiration from small-town life in southern Ohio, his songwriting blends reflective lyrics, atmospheric guitars, and the kind of honest storytelling that turns everyday moments into unforgettable songs.
