Underrated America: Cincinnati

Co-hosts Brad Acree and Morgan Barnhart shine a spotlight on the hidden gems of Cincinnati through interviews with the entrepreneurs, artists, and taste-makers driving the culture of our city. Join us as we explore the food scene with award winning restauranteurs. We discuss how Cincinnati has influenced music from decades passed and is poised to continue to do so in the future. We get the low down on why so much of our culture revolves around beer and spirits with nationally renowned bartenders, bar owners, and distillers. We learn how our beloved Reds are turning to Pilates to stay game ready through the long baseball season. Most importantly, we learn why so many people are finding and seizing opportunity to follow their dreams in Cincinnati. This is an ode to our Queen City.
