    Ivy Insights

    The Cincinnati Edition podcast is a gem among the vast array of podcasts available today. As one of the last shows that covers the state objectively, it provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the issues Ohio faces. Without this podcast, I would be unaware of half of what is happening in my own state. I am incredibly grateful to the Cincinnati Edition team for their dedication and commitment to keeping us informed.

    One of the best aspects of the Cincinnati Edition podcast is host Michael Monks' ability to truly capture the pulse of Cincinnati. His thoughtful questioning demonstrates his engagement and acknowledgement of the often complex answers solicited from guests. Furthermore, Monks possesses a distinctive voice and palpable concern for and knowledge of the most relevant and interesting aspects of Cincy. Through this podcast, we are all able to explore the city's civic and cultural life and gain a deeper understanding of our community.

    However, as with any podcast, there are some drawbacks to take note of. One potential downside is that Michael Monks may be picked off for a national show like The One A. While this would highlight his incredible talent, it could also result in him leaving behind his focus on Cincinnati. Additionally, there may be a fear that as he gains national notoriety, the content may shift away from local issues towards broader topics. This could potentially diminish what makes this podcast so special - its dedication to covering local matters comprehensively.

    In conclusion, The Cincinnati Edition podcast serves as an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to stay informed about what's going on in their city. It provides an easy way to learn about local events while giving voice to those involved in shaping the community. Host Michael Monks' insightfulness and deep knowledge make each episode educational and engaging. While there may be concerns about potential changes in format due to national recognition, it is my hope that Monks will continue bringing national attention to our region while maintaining his dedication to local coverage like Terry Gross has done with Fresh Air. The Cincinnati Edition podcast is a true asset to our community.
