Central Ohio is attracting historic levels of investment in advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, bioscience, and other rapidly expanding industries. But landing new facilities is just the beginning. Our region's economic future depends on its ability to build and sustain the right workforce. We explore whether Central Ohio can create a workforce development system that's equal to its ambitions—one that connects people to opportunity, gives employers the talent they need, and brings the American Dream within reach for more Central Ohioans.

Hey — this episode's a casual stroll through why Tampa's suddenly feeling like the cool, walkable city everyone wants to live in. We chat about giant projects (Rays, Pendry, USF stadium), flashy new neighborhoods, and how the I-4 corridor's turning into one big megacity — with a few jokes about Orlando, beach towns, and the joys of development. Grab a drink, kick back, and join us as we trade stories about changing skylines, nightlife that's moving west of I-4, and whether Tampa really is the future hotspot of Florida.

Today on not serious wine chats, Pete and I have the pleasure getting down with two deeply motivated mates who started a wine brand, fittingly called Deep Down. Clive Dougall and Peter Lorimer united over the shared love of the same style of wines and the desire to make something that spoke a little differently about what Marlborough might have to say. Both these chaps bring a breadth of experience to the partnership, and one carefully and perfectly complements the other. Clive's based in Boomtown making the stuff, while Peter travels to market from Tāmaki Makaurau, to share and sell their super tasty organic wines.  The timing of our chat couldn't have been better placed, as Clive and Peter have been working on something on the down low for the last three years and our chat coincided with its release. Something new, I hear you say? What could it be? Why it's a low alc number called Down Low of course! The wine has a hot new look, thanks to Toby Curnow who was part of the team behind the eye-catching design of the hero label, Deep Down. What I loved the most about this wine as soon as I saw it, was how wickedly classy it looks, losing nothing to a world where some of the departure in winemaking tries way too hard to get down with the kids. When that sort of fuckery is featured, the gimmick gets loud and the wine gets lost. Not with Down Low. At 3.8% alc, less than most beers, Clive and Peter have made an absolute cracker. It's fresh, its yummy and it means you can partake knowing you're putting less alcohol in the tank. During our chat, Clive and Peter talk through how it took a lot of time and patience to get this wine utterly right. So, tell your mates you'll be at that drinkies sesh, but pop the running shoes by the back door coz you'll be fresh as a daisy in the morning. Pour yourself something to really get down to. This is the not serious Clive Dougall and Peter Lorimer chat.  not serious wine chats would like to thank our supporters:Funded by TradecraftSupported with time and a place to record By the BottlePalate refreshing mineral water supplied by Antipodes Water Co.

In a close-knit Michigan neighborhood where everyone feels like part of one extended family, a friendly young man eagerly welcomes a new family moving in next door. For a time, they become part of one big happy community. But when the newcomers commit a seemingly minor slight against a longtime resident, tensions begin to simmer. Friendships fracture, alliances shift, and neighbors who once embraced the family gradually turn against them. As accusations escalate and hostilities mount, the dispute spirals out of control, culminating in a shocking and explosive confrontation that leaves a street riddled with bullets, engulfed in flames, and swarming with police.

The true story of the corrupt and violent town of Borger, Texas in 1927―and the legendary Texas Ranger tasked with taming it.Just a year after the town of Borger, Texas was founded, the press called it "the wickedest in the state" for good reason. The town, sprung into existence overnight to support the oilfields, was a second chance for many residents but had also become a lawless haven for bootleggers, pimps and gamblers, run by a crooked city hall.That environment attracts some of the most unsavory characters in prohibition America, including a gang of murderous bank robbers who head into Borger to spend their money on booze, gambling and prostitutes. In the span of weeks, the gang kills three law enforcement officers, bringing the worst heat imaginable: legendary Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, years before he will lead the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. His arrival threatens to break even this hardest boomtown in America―if it doesn't kill him first.What follows is one of the most thrilling and violent untold stories from the era of gangsters, lawmen and vice. Author Joe Pappalardo brings to life a town previously lost in the haze of history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Eight years ago, when wildfires threatened musician David Baerwald's family home in Los Angeles. He salvaged all but forgotten boxes belonging to his grandfather. Among the discoveries inside them were a spy camera, a samurai sword, breathtaking photographs, and dairies and letters that will change his life forever. The platinum selling artist behind ‘Welcome to the Boom Town' and ‘Come What May' spent seven years and sold his music catalog to write the novel ‘The Fire Agent,' based on his grandfather's astonishing story. The result is a gripping chronicle, the rise of fascism in both the West and Japan.

Author Joe Pappalardo unpacks Boomtown, the true story of Borger, Texas, where an oil rush quickly gave way to corruption and violence.

Before Silicon Valley, before the Valley of Heart's Delight, the hills south of San Jose were home to one of the world's richest mercury mines: New Almaden. Its quicksilver powered the California Gold Rush, but today, few traces of those boom boom days remain, other than the toxic legacy still circulating in the San Francisco Bay. In today's episode we answer three listener questions about the mine and it's history.

In this upbeat episode of the "Money" Market Podcast, Owen chats with Ian Anderson, the President and Publisher behind Tampa's fastest growing source for business intel - the Tampa Bay Business Journal. Ian shares how his career began with a curveball – leaving the finance world to chase down breaking news, big stories, and even bigger growth opportunities. He talks candidly about being thrown into leadership roles early on, rebranding entire publications, and learning how to "feed the news monster" without losing his sanity. Owen and Ian dive into what makes Tampa a wild and exciting market, from its explosive economic growth to the constant stream of headlines that keep Ian's newsroom buzzing. He explains how the Business Journal balances daily digital sprints with deep dive features and why print is far from dead. He breaks down the TBBJ paywall strategy, joking that even your next Netflix obsession costs money. The conversation also covers why curated newsletters are king, how to spot real trends in a sea of noise, and what businesses must understand to stay ahead in Tampa's rocketing expansion.

"Under the watchful eyes of Bob's Stratos and Apollo..."This week Elton is asking the big questions: What do you do when the world ends, not with a bang, but with a sudden, awkward silence?In this special crossover event, Elton is joined by the one and only Glen Nuzzle from the Nuzzle House podcast to unpack Jonathan Lethem's post-technological fever dream, The Arrest.Imagine the "Off" switch for the entire world was flipped. No internet, no cars, no planes—just a sudden, quiet return to a pastoral life. This is the world of Sandy “Journeyman” Duplessis, a former Hollywood script doctor now living a humble life in rural Maine, delivering organic rutabagas and trying to forget his past.But the past has a way of showing up in a nuclear-powered, drill-nosed super-machine.When Sandy's old frenemy, the legendary (and legendarily ego-maniacal) producer Peter Todbaum, rolls into town in the "Blue Streak," he brings more than just forbidden technology—he brings the toxic baggage of Hollywood storytelling to a world that was finally learning to live without it.The Ultimate Rivalry: We dive into the petty, hilarious tension between a man who just wants to garden and a man who refuses to stop being the protagonist.Post-Apocalypse... with Vibes: Is it a dystopia, or just a really long camping trip? Lethem flips the script on traditional "end of the world" tropes.A "Nuzzle" Worthy Discussion: Glen Nuzzle brings his signature style to the table, helping Elton navigate the surreal landscapes and meta-commentary that only Lethem can provide."It's a story about the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what happens when those stories are delivered by a man in a giant metal mole-car."Whether you're a fan of high-concept literary sci-fi or you just enjoy hearing two guys talk about the absurdity of a nuclear-powered drill in a potato field, this episode is for you.GET THE BOOK: ⁠⁠⁠From Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠From an Indie Book Seller⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tips!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠EMAIL: eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.comThe following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Clowns...again, flatulence, New York...again, those that get easily tricked, Penthouse Forum, and much, much more.A special thanks to Diedrich Bader and Jenna Fischer for all their inspiration.

We read. You watch.  Today, Magda and Lindsay are talking all about Andy Weir's “Project Hail Mary” in anticipation of the movie, releasing on March 20th.  Now, even though they've spent every day since finishing it talking to everyone they know, and even some they don't know about how amazing it is, they realize that it may have been a while since some of you have read it. Don't worry, our girls got you. They'll discuss the things you need to remember from the book and all the things they're dying to see in the movie. #projecthailmary #projecthailmarymovie #andyweir #bookadaptations #bookrecs    Books mentioned in the episode: “Boom Town“ by Nic Stone “So Old, So Young“ by Grant Ginder “The Correspondent“ by Virginia Evans “Project Hail Mary“ by Andy Weir “The Martian“ by Andy Weir “Emma of 83rd Street“ by Audrey Bellezza and Emily Harding “Elizabeth of East Hampton“ by Audrey Bellezza “Beach Read“ by Emily Henry “People We Meet on Vacation“ by Emily Henry “The Women“ by Kristin Hannah “The Great Alone“ by Kristin Hannah “Atmosphere“ by Taylor Jenkins Reid “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo“ by Taylor Jenkins Reid “Sky Full of Elephants“ by Cebo Campbell “Listen for the Lie“ by Amy Tintera “Bride“ by Ali Hazelwood “Dungeon Crawler Carl“ by Matt Dinniman   Email us!  Literally Books Website Literally Books Instagram Magda's Instagram Lindsay's Instagram Literally Books YouTube Literally Books TikTok   Intro & Outro Song: "Would it Kill You," courtesy of The Solder Thread

Hey well read baddies! We're back with another bonus episode, and this one is for the girls who are fans of Gone Girl and are impatiently waiting for season three of P-Valley to drop. We're joined by New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone to talk about her latest release, Boom Town. We get into what it was like for Nic to step into adult fiction after writing dozens of YA books (many of which have been challenged and banned), why she wanted to expand the thriller genre to include characters we can actually relate to and root for, and the real-world conversations the book taps into, from missing persons cases involving Black women to power, privilege, and who society decides is “worthy” of concern. We also revisit the Dear Martin series and talk book bans, censorship, and what it feels like when your work becomes both celebrated and targeted. Tap in, then leave us a voice note with your reaction to the episode and your favorite moment :) Learn more about Nic and her work here and the next book on her tbr here We can't wait to hear from you! :) Please send any questions or comments about this episode to shewellread@gmail.com OR leave us a Voice Note at https://www.speakpipe.com/shewellread‬ Follow SHE WELL READ!

Welcome back to the 80s! From 1981-1985 Dr. Dave delivered newspapers for The Mining Journal, the primary newspaper of Marquette, Michigan and the state's Upper Peninsula. Monday through Saturday he braved the elements, especially the famous snow of the U.P., to deliver papers around his neighborhood. Earning about $10 a week (about $32 in 2026 adjusted for inflation), he eventually saved enough to purchase a portable cassette player. Episode 39 features many of the 80s artists who kept Dr. Dave company along his paper route.A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to the people who helped us put this together: Alan (for all our artwork), DJ Phil B (for the technical stuff) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available.

One of the easiest ways to make your campaign and your setting feel real, immersive, and unique is by taking away the certitude that magic is always going to act the same way. This mysterious, world-altering energy should not ever be completely understood by your characters, as the discovery of it is a big part of the fun.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to respond to a listener question about their homebrewed idea of making magic work differently in different areas of their world. They ask how we might approach it in our ever-growing, crowdsourced Boomtown campaign setting. 1:35 Our listener question from The OMG Father, Wyman!3:15 Simple ways to approach making magic change, altering Difficulty Classes and Damage output.4:15 DM Chris harkens back to the Green Lantern Corps and leans into our use of Components as trackable resources.6:05 How DM Dave altered magic in the world in our recent Dragonlance campaign.8:05 Making the zones of magic random, and DM Chris' concern of specifically targeting arcane casters.10:25 Motivating players to adventure by seeking tech.12:12 Employing more narratively focused elements by having the player and DM work together to create something new.16:45 Leaning into the resource management for spellcasting.21:45 Allowing the tech to be utilized by any character.

We continue to drive down deeper into our real-time worldbuilding experiment armed with the comments of our listeners. One of the best things you can build for your campaign to feel real and immersive is by creating factions. Groups and organizations that have their own motives and goals that are distinct from the players. This creates inciting incidents, backstory fodder, and moving parts that conflict with the characters and create impetus for adventure.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave finally begin discussing the biggest faction, and the inciting incident for the Boomtown setting, the shadowy conglomerate from the east coast of the world that is the driving force behind gathering the newly discovered ancient magical technology. Make sure to Join the Conversation!4:05 We begin with some possible ways this conglomerate might be formed and their motives. 6:45 It's important to create the floor for the overall campaign setting.10:00 The concept of the theocracy of the “Divine State” begins to take shape.12:35 The main fulcrum of your campaign setting. DM Dave posits the struggle between religion and faith.17:50 The beginning of the idea of the conglomerate as a “Triumvirate”: Religion, Commerce, and Military.21:24 The need for a break in time in history: The Cataclysm, The Calamity, The Doom of Valyria, etc.23:50 The internal struggles of the Triumvirate create more adventure hooks.25:10 Factions that develop because of opposition to the Triumvirate.35:45 Answering who these other factions are changes the campaign setting: Technological Magic vs Inherent Magic and Power.40:25 The Triumvirate is human-centric. Boomtowns are plural societies.6:35 Final Thoughts.
