This week, Marty and Mike lament the ending of their favorite podcast, 60 Songs that Explain the 90s, and make an impassioned plea for host Rob Harvilla to come to Chillicothe to sign copies of the book he wrote from the podcast. To avoid all the guys fanboying over Rob's show, start at 19:13. (But don't really.).Issac Steele is our guest this week, and he's started a self-defense small business to teach people of all ages how to defend themselves properly.  We love spotlighting local products that return and do great things. He's not only a law enforcement officer in the area but someone passionate about helping people stay safe. We also talk a little about his career in mixed martial arts, which he has placed on hold for now but is still very connected to that world.The Davey Award-winning Feels Like Home Podcast is powered by Horizon - Greater Things are Coming!

We love it when a good thing leads to great things. Clay Archer had an idea to cover local high school sports but knew the landscape was a little crowded. His idea was to create a podcast/show that would cover sports but do it in a fun way. That's the genesis of the Ride the Wave Show. But it's more than a show - it's more like a movement. Clay and his co-hosts need to build a community around the show. Their approach is creative and meeting needs. Give the show a listen and hear how they'll bring two counties together on March 9, 2024, to meet a need for a family.

You might be thinking that February is the furthest we can get from outdoor volleyball in Ohio. Still, we are honored to have the founders and sustainers of the Chillicothe Outdoor Volleyball Association (COVA) with us on the podcast this week.  Bret Wrightsel, Paul Tanedo, Kory Lambert, and Chad Minney join us to talk about the group's history - and how it has evolved through the years.  What started as a way to have some fun playing sand volleyball has grown to a full slate of weekly games during the warmer months and a way to give back to the community.  They are very involved in the annual Sand in the Streets volleyball tournament in conjunction with Downtown Chillicothe but have a lot of other things going.

Our guest, Kassadee McFadden, is the creative genius behind The Page, a cocktail bar that opened this year inside Paper City Coffee on Paint Street.  She talks about how The Page went from an interview question to a running joke to reality and how PCC owner Meg Gerber bought into the vision from the beginning.

Courtney is also the one who recruited Mike to play in the Ross County Special Olympics Celebrity Basketball Game on March 29 at Hatton Gym. Maybe she can identify exactly what makes him a celebrity.

Had Ben Daughters been less motivated to operate Chillicothe's first Gastropub, The Pour House at Machinery Hall might not be a downtown staple. The story of his work on the building, coupled with a pandemic that shut his business down, is a tribute to how badly he and his wife, Kelly, wanted to be a part of the downtown renaissance. But the store doesn't end there and it's one worth hearing. Join us this week as we hear from Ben about his trials, tribulations, and successes at the Pour House and also the Dairy Queen restaurants in Chillicothe. The Davey Award winning  Feels Like Home Podcast is powered by Horizon,  Greater Things are Coming!

Welcome to a discussion with the Most Interesting Man Alive!

Police work is a remarkably different profession than when Chillicothe Police Chief Ron Meyers joined the force more than two decades ago. But his work, plus the work of his predecessor, Keith Washburn, might be changing the city. Meyers is in his third year as chief and he's been focused on how mental health and other social issues impact those who commit crimes - and those who fight crime. Joanna Denny came on board as the first social worker to be hired by CPD and they've teamed up to help change the perception of police and how the officers do their job. Together, they are breaking new ground in southern Ohio. The Davey Award winning  Feels Like Home Podcast is powered by Horizon,  Greater Things are Coming!

It's not every day you get to hear from someone who's lived for a century, but that's not the only thing that makes this episode special. It's special for Mike because his son, Walker, joins the podcast today to interview his great-grandmother, Alice Litter. She's about to turn 101 tomorrow (Jan. 17) and she's lived her entire life in Ross County - in Bourneville. She's seen a lot and anyone who knows her knows how special of a person she is - and we're happy to share their conversation.

Everyone knows Chris Scott. And, if you haven't met him, you probably know his booming voice, which has served as the narrator of many of an event in Ross County through the years. After a long career in sales, Chris latched on with Best Version Media and began producing Great Seal Living, a family-friendly magazine focused on Chillicothe and Ross County information. GSL was the fastest starting publication in BVM's portfolio and helped to birth Great Seal Sports, another locally focused magazine, this time on sports. But Chris is also a huge part of bringing the Drug Free Clubs of America to Ross County schools, funded by The Buck Fifty. Chris shares with us the future DFCA in the region and also how the race fits into that strategy.  He's working hard to make Chillicothe a better place to live.(BTW, here's a link to the video from Gone:The Forgotten Women of Ohio that Mike and Chris talk about in the episode.)Feels Like Home Podcast is powered by Horizon,  Greater Things are Coming!

Sam Quinones is no stranger to many in Ross County.  The "Dreamland" author spent time here while researching "The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic," (buy it here) which was released in 2016. The book stood as a clarion call to arms for communities across the country to deal with the impact of the crushing havoc opiates were wreaking in communities such as our town.  He also returned to host discussions of the book in 2017 and will return in September 2022 as part of ADAMH's Recovery Celebration. Join us for our chat with him as we talk about the book (and his second effort), its influence in the country, and how the threat we're facing today may be worse than the one we thought we had under control. We also get into a discussion about how local podcasts are the way our communities can come together and help find solutions to our biggest opportunities.

If you are a military veteran or the loved one of someone who is, Dress Right Dress might not jump to your mind as a service that helps veterans. It's a fairly new concept in southern Ohio, but the impact of DRD is growing in the area. Founded by Jeremy Parkins (our guest for this episode) in 2015 and given non-profit status in 2019, Dress Right Dress exists to help service members and veterans in transitioning to civilian life.

One of the COVID closures that hurt the most was when the Danberry Cinemas announced they would close. With no first-run movies being shown for a while during the pandemic, the impact wasn't felt, but once movies began their comeback, a new entity arose to reopen the theatre and restore another Chillicothe opportunity for fun.  Josh and Cora Willett re-opened the cinemas to add to their two-theatre group and they've brought the big screen experience up a notch. Listen to find out all the changes they've made and you'll immediately find out how big of cinephiles they are. It's a great discussion with a few bits of hype, nostalgia, and much more. Enjoy!

This week, we have a guest, but it's more of a discussion about media and how we respond to it.
