Emily Cole, Director of Ohio Families Unite for Political Action and Change (OFUPAC), drops by the No. 1 Dark Horror and Gothic Fantasy podcast to discuss why you and your loved ones should vote "No" on Ohio's Issue 1. It will enshrine cash bail into our Constitution, and that's a bad thing.

We discuss Issue 1, the lack of response from Ohio Democratic circles, police brutality within the state, and more. 

This episode is also available on Spotify. It runs a little over half an hour. Enjoy!

THOSE WMDs. Anatomy of a car crash… Stew vs. Soup: What you need to know… Chasing my father’s ghost through the Swiss Alps… Bad weather is good for you: Take a walk in the cold and rain… Use the triangle method to determine if somebody is lying to you.

Dr. Nikhil Verma is a pain management specialist and interventional pain management physician located in Columbus and Marion, Ohio. He is also a man you should follow on Twitter.

Earlier this week, Dr. Verma traveled to Bellows Avenue and did exactly one shot at The Patio before entering the thunder dome as the first in-studio guest on the No. 1 gothic horror/dark fantasy podcast on the internet.

Dr. Verma and I have known each other for decades. We could’ve regaled you with hard-scrabbled tales from the mean streets of Marion. Instead chose to focus on things like diagnosing pain, unintended consequences of the opiate epidemic, and which current banned street drug, besides weed, has the most medical potential.

Oh, and because this is a high class affair, Dr. Verma also explains how insurance companies squeeze doctors just like their patients and which country would be the base for America’s nationalized healthcare system after I win the presidency and appoint him Medical Czar to fix this shit.

All that and more in Episode 3, which will be available later this morning on Spotify and Apple Music.

If you or anyone you know would be a good guest on The Crowcast, feel free to respond to this email or direct message me on Twitter at @rooster_ohio.

THOSE WMDs. Fraud is flourishing on Zelle and banks say it’s not their problem… The truth about L.A.’s most expensive gas stations… How a McDonald’s employee took down a $24 million scam… Al Pacino on the 50th anniversary of The Godfather… Can the Christian Right quit Putin?

I realized recently that I didn’t have enough of my opinions on the internet, so I decided to start a podcast under The Rooster’s banner in 2022.

When I asked some confidantes what they thought about “The Crowcast” for the name, nobody had the heart to tell me it was shitty, so I flew with the idea as I don’t like to spend time ruminating over petty decisions. It’s not like I’m taking out a 30-year loan against my future income to purchase a house.

If I were a Business Genius, I probably would have checked the name on Spotify before rolling with the brand. But I didn’t, and much to my chagrin I discovered a couple other Crowcasts, namely centering around gothic horror and dark fantasy.

I guess this will also be a gothic horror and dark fantasy podcast. At worst, my idea with this show is to expand on that genre.

From now on, The Crowcast will ***usually*** arrive as a separate email at 8:15 a.m. on whatever day I decide to publish these things.

Ideally, they’ll be spit 75%-25% in terms of paid podcasts to free podcasts. The first couple will obviously be free. Episode length will range from 45 minutes to an hour. After all, it ain’t like we’re planning the Normandy invasion.

I apologize for the amatuerish production on the first episode. Normally on podcasts I show up, talk a little shit, and bounce out while leaving the actual work to other people. Not in this case. The good news is this turned out better than I thought and I will grow my talents with every episode going forward.

If you are not a paid subscriber, please consider joining The Patriots’ Caucus today as I will be raising the price of a subscription on Monday. There will be shirts and stickers coming soon, too.

Chairman Xi is depending upon you, and you can subscribe for as little as $6.66 a month or $50 a year.

Now, without further ado, please enjoy the show.

The illustrious Patrick Mayhorn, as seen in the Buckeye Sports Bulletin, The Outside Zone and heard on the Flipping the Field podcast joins The Crowcast for a discussion about growing up with New Albany, how Ohio State media poisons the minds of Buckeye fans, the future of Ryan Day and Dabo Swinney, with a smattering of Cleveland Browns talk before ending with Patrick's plan to save the American experiment.

The Crowcast is also available on Spotify, because that’s what I use. If you use Spotify, too, please drop a five-star review if you love the show and a five-star review if you hate it.

More podcast destinations will be added in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support!

THOSE WMDs. Crypto miners in Kazakhstan face bitter winter of power cuts… She told the DEA its agent was a stalker, and things got worse… The Pope considers people who choose pets over children to be selfish… The prisoner-run radio station reaching men on death row… How not to care when people don’t like you.
