Director and dancer extraordinaire Dom Glover returns as he has a production of Memphis happening at the Rep in June. To be blunt, (AND GOOD THING I DON'T GET FEDERAL FUNDING, F THEM) Dom is on the hunt for Black performers...and then hopefully a Black audience. I asked around and we don't have any organized community of Black performers who are seeking to hit a stage. BUT those individuals may be out there, and Dom wants them! Let's add Black excellence to our already bright and thriving performing arts community.  First, a teacher followed a student home over homework and this...

One of those may describe me. First, another episode with some audio issues. Did my best to make this as listenable as possible. And this REALLY is worth the time. We hit the nerd stuff surprisingly hard, as I've gotten often-guest Kimberly Newman from the Victory Center into Daredevil, and SHE brought an outstanding guest, Ops Mgr from Ragazza in Perrysburg Taylor Fuller, to talk about Cheap & Chic. She and her team have gathered up a bunch of local boutiques to sell inventory at a downtown spot this Saturday only. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friends from the Lucas County Board Of Developmental Disabilities have been by several times. This is the debut appearance of the crew from the Wood County Board Of Developmental Disabilities. Sarah and Charese have a ton going on with what they do, especially on April 11th.  They had some extra time after business was done to talk theater, busy mom life and the Backstreet BoysSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Someone who remembers (questionable) 80s music may hear in their head what I was thinking when I typed out that title. ANYWAY. First time visitor, Dawn Bentley who has deep ties to the Anthony Wayne School District, is here to share a fantastic project they're firing up next school year, but first we'll hear about her enterprise and a wonderfully helpful and educational training video she's created about accessibility and inclusive. First, first, don't try to recreate past viral moments, especially when those were lightning strikes of authenticity. And Ross is open!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Lady Rockets have one MAC tournament win in the bag, they need two more. Let's talk about those possibilities, and beyond, and also look back at the career of one of the program's greatest players with my friend, and their broadcaster Jim Heller.  Before that, it was very peaceful in Maumee last night!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm (STILL) the happiest person not associated with BGSU about Eddie George. So that, disappointment in a Brown and them acquiring a Super Bowl winning QB, but then, it's roundabout class time again kids! Sorry, seniors. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An old segment comes back for the first time in a long time, but first, what a fantastic hire by BGSU.  Just HOW disoriented are you!? It's not a minivan, it's a Minnie Van. Macroeconomic thoughts by a microeconomic mind. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I said something shitty about Opal passing. It was completely thoughtless, but I took it down and want to apologize. Then I want discuss the elephant in the room about her behavior. First, that was way funnier than I expected, and something happened in my chest thanks to a female!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of them is running for an at large spot on Toledo city council. The other will NEVER do such a thing.  Erin Kramer would like your vote in the upcoming election. Let's get to know her!  The first 20 minutes is fairly standard stuff, but then we get a bit fiery (not at one another) about national politics, unions, why I sound like someone on the other side, and self checkouts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I get him once a year, though I could probably ask for - I think he likes visiting, so MANY questions for UT's no longer new AD, Bryan Blair. Why women's varisty rowing? All these wonderful coaches he's hiring His dream Glass City Live artist. How can UT football remain vibrant...and even alive!? Just how Toledo he's become.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not in the way you may think... We're putting cameras in the studio to stream the podcast and put it on YouTube. So some settings on our equipment were tweaked, and today's episodes sounds like I'm 10 feet from the mic. I'm SO sorry to you - I had a TON in the monologue today - and my guests, another crew from Acoustics for Autism.  I did my very best to make this listenable. If you don't make it through 120 seconds, I completely understand. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been quite a while since we've had a guest on from the Toledo Lucas County Public Library. We won't catch up on years of things we may have missed; we'll just start back in January, and move through a very busy year of ways to access, visit and participate in TLCPL happenings, including Romance Con! First, you shouldn't be surprised it's all country, and let me change UNLIKELY to VERY POSSIBLE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good timing to have the new mayor of Sylvania on as just last week, the city released the vision and details for the downtown retrofit, as Mark Frye is calling it.  The former council President, and now mayor after long time leader Craig Stough stepped down, also talk about the 23/Monroe interchange rebuild - which involves bats - turning lights out in rooms you're not in and why in the world there's so little drama in Sylvania compared to the other 3 big area municipalities. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A visit from Joe and Kendall Linnenkugel to get you out for Battle of the Badges, a charity hockey game before TFRD and TPD on March 8th before the Walleye game.  TFRD is trying to disrupt TPD dominance on the ice, and meanwhile you'll be able to see a locker of Kendall's created for Imagination Station's new main exhibit called HOCKEY: Faster Than Ever.  Kendall on what she's seen from the Walleye this season, and why this year's playoff run could be different. And Joe's expertise on area fire station employment practices as volunteer forces continue to become a relic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An event that kicks off a string of later winter/early spring festivities is just a few weeks away. A couple of new things, a reminder to use the shuttles and more with Scott Hayes from Project I Am, then some time and music from the Amelia Airharts. First, this was unlike other times, and what did Sylvania learn?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

UT hasn't added a varsity sport in 30 years, so it's a big deal that women's rowing is the latest addition. Their newly minted steward of the program, coach Chris Bailey Greene, visits to indulge all of my questions of rowing ignorance. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Metroparks have a levy coming up on the ballot this spring, they also just surpassed 100,000 ice skaters, and have a long ways to go before our riverwalk will be complete. But, I wanna know where NBA fan Matt Killam was when the League had it's JFK where were you moment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Athlete. A mental health summit is (hopefully) happening at the Imagination Station on February 22nd EDIT FEB 24TH!. The event is  putting parents coaches and kids in the same room to better handle the mental health of all. Therapist Jonelle Massey visits to discuss her event and her life as a former high level college athlete, and her approaches to helping those that come to her office First, celery!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not a station contest, but a raffle with my friend Laura from Courageous Community Services. If you won, I'm sure you wouldn't say no! Before that, nice to see someone have compiled this list, but I think two fairly big names are missing from it. I'll present my argument.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a little over a year since Cecil's been by...after Alex had held out on introducing us.  Cecil's youth oriented Empowering Minds program returns later this month. What he learned from the kids last year, and changes to this year's programming, that will run thru June. I also wanted him to talk about the mental health aspects of the brief Tik Tok ban.   First, HIS hoarding (his word) of video game systems that I happily got him invigorated for.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
