Today was a first for me as a podcast host as I got to interview Independent candidate for Ohio's 10th Congressional District, Michael Harbaugh. While I have interviewed congressional candidates on the show before, the "first" was actually smoking a joint with a congressional candidate as we talked about his campaign and where he stands on the issues. Needless to say, he supports drug legalization. Michael and his wife co-own and o...

Well it’s been a minute, but the Discover Dayton Podcast is back! This is an interview that’s about a year old now, and I hated sitting on it for so long. That said, last year was one of significant change for me as I went through a divorce, tried to move out of the country to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and then met someone and fell in love and am now engaged. So, since I’ll be sticking around, I’m starting the show back up! My guest ...
