Watershed Weekend! I celebration of the halfway point to the Riverwalk being constructed. I know, what does watershed mean and what's a river walk!? A tweak to International Park, a bridge totally closed to traffic, a throwback skating party ;), and much more for the second weekend in June, with first time guest from the Metroparks, Scott Carpenter. First, I've never seen that to the right of the...

I'm reposting this for two people who seem quite interested in my Barry (my dad) stories.  There's definitely him coming home to me in the closet. The actual closet. Perhaps me being on academic probation, and definitely running from the bus.  Um, enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My buddy Jodi Gross, Director of the East Toledo Family Center, is back to talk about a very big celebration they're having after 125 years. Why should YOU care about what they are!? She will answer that. She will also explain why not only am I an honorary Eastsider, but I'm an official one! :) Also an update on our dogs whom were adopted about the same time from the same place.  First, I can...

She will eat your food. She will sleep in your bed, WITH your pets! She will see an enormous amount of your private life that few are privy to. She will also care for your cherish pets while you're away <3 Meet Erianna Sherrod, creator of Critter Companion Services, now able to offer pet first and CPR. Follow HERE .

92% of Ohioans support our libraries. You'd think they'd be the last place to be politicized and lose funding, but down is left and black is yellow. Long time friend, fellow TED speaker, friend, regular podcast listener (thank you!), and Exec. Dir. of our award-winning Toledo Lucas County Public Library system Jason Kucsma is here today. First, tolerance...perhaps.  See omnystudio.com/listene...

We've dabbled with the issue of the potential of property taxes being repealed in Ohio, but let's have a much more thorough discussion about it with fmr State Rep and State Senator, and current member of the Ohio Board of Ed, Teresa Fedor, as she'd like to invite residents to an information event about the issue next Wednesday at PENTA. MORE HERE . First, if the Pitt can do it, so can all other sh...

One of my favorite visits each year! 10 year old Jamie Howard is the new Kid Mayor of Toledo and she DOES NOT WANT YOUR FEET ON THE DESK! She also would like a dog or two, loves music and math and wants to be a realtor.  Before we get to know more about Jamie, who is here with her mom Shanon, I wanted the leak, but I'm glad it didn't, and the Pitt finale was like looking into a mirror. ...

There's too many of them, right?! You can't get in touch with them. You don't get a receipt for your recently jacked up rent, they won't tend to maintenance or necessary fixes. Councilmembers Dr. Brittany Jones and Theresa Gadus are in the middle holding listening sessions so that they can formulate solutions against their lessors. I offer one potential formidable one of my own ;). First, the long...

I had an epiphany while watching a baseball game last night but first... Welcome to the fraternity kids! Maybe non profits are the solution to saving them. How the unclaimed funds would be spent by the Mud Hens. Jarren Duran is not at all at fault for the vile idiots. Going to a sporting event is WAY more expensive than ever, but it's not any better than it ever was.  See omnystudio.com/liste...

Sophia Perricone and Heather Pollauf have been before separately, but they're on together here, just as they are each morning on WTOL 11, which is a bit of history for the channel. If you ever see them uncontrollably laughing on TV, the inside joke possibly has something to do with a phrase they used here, but can never say on air. First, Wade, keep it residential! See omnystudio.com/listener for...

Julia Simon and Erica Fishbach are here to share the changes to some workings with the excellent program that is Junior Achievement.  Before our chat... I finally made it to a cool spot. And some zingers I got in at the Lucas County Plan Commission meeting to try and ensure another gas station wouldn't hop into the edge of my neighborhood. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes! Wood County has Commissioners! Who knew!? That's exactly why I invited Brenna to come by. She's currently on Rossford council but we've got tots of topics you're familiar with. From data centers to funding schools and more.  Before our chat, the Pale Horse was as advertised, and I forgot to mention in the intro, but parking was $40 for something called Third Day last night at the Hunting...

Did you know SAME Cafe is no more? But the concept has been revived at Eat Well. Adrianne and Mitch are by talk about how they started a brand new non profit org and brought the idea to life, and what's to come, which includes catering and more! First... I want regular rain. Plain, boring rain.  The Pitt.  Most people aren't instant internet superstars. They're just boring voyeurs. ...

It's been quite some time since I learned this much on an episode.  First up, it's SELL-TICS, not KELL-TICS. Then there was ruck, fly half, wrap around, conversion and many more terms and rules in the game of rugby. Thanks SO much to Kristen and Coach Carol for visiting to talk about the game they love, right here in Toledo, and invite you join or come watch them! WOMEN'S | toledoceltics Thei...

I'd heard of them, and knew they were a helpful cause here, but I had wondered how they got their slightly unusual name.  The answer is very simple and I thank friend Mary Bilyeu for connecting me to Stacy Willis, a social worker at Jewish Family services who helped bring the burrito concept here.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're doubling up guests today. First up is Toledo's Chris Wormley who has worked with the Hens for his first ever charity softball game. If you didn't know, Chris already does tons of work with at risk youths here in NWO. Next is Asha (31:25), who is the host of vtunefm right here on Q105! I thought it was a K-Pop show, but it's Vtubers doing a variety of genres.  First, help out Sylvania an...

It was a matter a time as more days ticked off the calendar, but UT AD Bryan Blair is headed for Syracuse. Before we get to that... Dinosaurs Possible federal jury duty A viral pineapple slicer Zoomies And an understandable move by Ohio Skate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Penny Meeker, whom I met when I crashed a Toastmasters event a few weeks back, visits to share some of her vast parenting expertise as she's working on upcoming, untitled book to give parents a hand in their very challenging duties. Keep up with Penny, and maybe offer a title suggestion... HERE , HERE , and HERE . First up, a first time celebrity charity softball game, a nasty wing flavored treat...

Tarik Skubal allows me to talk about to very important rules I try to live by.  First, I was about scooter carnage and, walking out of two movies in a row!? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally! A group is moving forward with an idea I've had for years! By no means is it a sure thing, but going public with the effort is a start. Full details about Shake Your Shamrock, ON St. Patrick's Day at Holland Gardens.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's my annual visit with the Linnenkugels - dad Joe and daughter Kendall - to preview this month's Battle of the Badges between TFRD and TPD. TICKETS HERE . Also lots of Walleye things with Kendall, their color analyst. And some retirement things with Joe, who walked me into a really sage piece of insight about not only what to do in retirement, but this too... Lastly, my apologies once again. Mo...

Alex is here with LIL TOMMY BOSTON. She goes back to work on Monday after being home with him for her 3 month leave. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First, an audio issue with our guests. I hope it's listenable for you because the knowledge and insight from Dr. Mata and Dr. Long is WELL worth it! Brightspot Families is at last open, brick and mortar in BG. Mental health for a wide spectrum of teen athletes. Phones in schools.  No, that's not OCD. How to fight well.  First first, a new Metropark and so much ice cream! Apologies again...

Maybe the nerdiest episode ever, but if superhero and comics history is of interest to you, this is YOUR episode, in a very long visit with Toledo's own, pulp writer Jim Beard. How he got to write some timeless characters. A few he'd LOVE to write. Is Taylor Swift going to sue him into another galaxy? What IS pulp, and a pantser? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Carradine that is. It was a suicide. He'd attended this past fall's Maumee Film Fest. I will not belabor my thoughts on taking your life and its effects for long.  He's not Geoffrey, but he is Eugene and here! Those are Olympic souvenirs. I have an idea for Mr. G's seasonal employee announcements. Where is the music coming from!? How many seasons is too many seasons to go back to? See...
