About this listen

 Former Vice Mayor of Cincinnati, Christopher Smitherman, joins us for a riveting discussion on the city's political scene, as we throw our support behind mayoral candidate Corey Bowman. We navigate through the stormy waters of Cincinnati's decision to sidestep zoning laws for a Hyde Park development, underscoring the vital role of community input in local governance. Our conversation weaves through the fabric of Cincinnati's "Connected Communities" initiative, which has sparked debate in various neighborhoods. We also cast an eye on the national stage, offering candid opinions on media bias and the White House Correspondents' Dinner, while touching on the media's handling of President Biden's health.

Turning the spotlight on community safety, we explore the indispensable partnership between law enforcement and family responsibility. Highlighting the impact of strong family structures, we discuss how they can ease the strain on police, especially during the summer when schools are out. We delve into the challenges nightlife businesses face due to underage loitering, stressing the importance of allowing police to focus on their core roles. Our dialogue extends to the sphere of personal accountability, championing the resurgence of faith among youth and the critical need for individuals to own their actions. It's a call to action for schools to nurture a culture of personal responsibility and respect for authority figures, setting the stage for a more harmonious society.
