The race for Ohio governor is heating up.Amy Acton and her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, have been traveling the state, doing the grassroots work and raising money. Ramaswamy, who has much more money than Acton, has been running ads for months, as has his political action committee. Acton appears to have been saving her money for the stretch run and has just started running ads.The ads are coming fast and furious, setting up a rough-and-tumble final two months before Election Day.The question is, will the positive and negative ads help us understand who these candidates really are?To help dissect the candidates and the race going forward, we welcome Cheri Strachan, director of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron.Snollygoster of the weekFor those of you outside Central Ohio, you should know we have not had a competitive mayoral race in Columbus since at least the Clinton administration, possibly the first Bush administration. Competitive races for mayor violate the Columbus Way: collaborating, usually behind closed doors, and waiting your turn to run for mayor.Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin is not waiting his turn. He announced last week that he will challenge the three-term incumbent, Ginther. It was a big production. His campaign leaked it to the Dispatch and the local NBC affiliate. They did interviews the day before and held the story for a day. Hardin held a big announcement at his childhood home on the first day of school. It was very well planned.Then Columbus got flash floods. It was a real mess in many parts of the city. The city had to temporarily erect the floodwalls, and major roadways were blocked. What did Mayor Ginther do at the exact time Hardin was kicking off his challenge? The mayor stood in front of a floodwall and explained how the city—ahem, his administration—was going to assist people affected by the flooding.It would have been a pretty good split screen, but the TV stations only focused on the flooding and Ginther. I do not know if it was intentional, but scheduling a weather emergency news conference at the same time as your opponent's campaign announcement is pretty shrewd.

They also break down the fan and industry reaction to Akron letting a season-ticket-holding alum call plays in an upcoming game, debating whether the stunt could catch on with bigger programs looking to cash in on similar buzz.

92.3 The Fan presents a selection of conversations from Ken and Anthony during the past week. The guys call out 'toxic' behavior from a certain segment of Shedeur Sanders supporters; ponder the prospect of Deshaun Watson getting booed during Saturday's preseason game vs. the Bills; and debate the possibility of an expansion NFL franchise being located in London. Plus, a cocaine scandal at Penn State and the latest on Akron's fan play-caller contest.

We continue the coaching tier discussion and determine where Kalen DeBoer goes if Alabama fires him. We also question the legitimacy of Akron's play calling sweepstakes.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down the offensive struggles of the Cleveland Guardians and the lack of run support for their starting rotation. They also explore a detailed simulation of the Cleveland Browns in the year 2026, debating a hypothetical quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Additional segments focus on the social etiquette of first-day-of-school photos and the University of Akron's unique play-calling contest featuring Barstool Sports personality Big Cat. 02:40 - Guardians Offensive Struggles 07:15 - Steven Vogt Postgame Demeanor 11:45 - Wasting Great Starting Pitching 18:25 - Cavs Roster And Peyton Watson 25:10 - Peyton Watson Defensive Potential 34:15 - Deshaun Watson Booing Debate 41:05 - Fans Flying In To Boo 47:20 - Comparing Watson To Michael Vick 53:40 - Browns Lost Era Memories 01:01:35 - Preseason Crowd Behavior 01:07:10 - Hypothetical QB Competition Analysis 01:13:45 - Analyzing Training Camp Statistics 01:25:05 - First Day Of School Etiquette 01:32:05 - Social Media And Parent Culture 01:38:05 - Mary Kay Cabot Interview 01:46:30 - Browns Defensive Camp Report 01:54:50 - Browns Captaincy Decisions Debate 02:07:35 - The Kitchen Fire Analogy 02:18:05 - Akron Football Play-Call Contest 02:37:05 - Bills And Browns Joint Practice

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into Akron football's contest letting a season-ticket-holder call the team's first offensive series against Robert Morris, questioning whether the process was rigged after Barstool's Dan "Big Cat" Katz emerged as a finalist by reportedly buying up to 18 season-ticket entries himself. They run through the full list of finalists, debate whether Akron athletics actually swore off any rigging, and riff on the absurd logistics of what happens if the play call flops or the coach gets ejected before the opening drive even finishes.

Nick and JP react to Akron finding a fan offensive coordinator and people complaining about Big Cat being an option.

Nick and Jonathan reveal how the Browns could take advantage of certain quarterback rooms around the league. Also, they react to Big Cat being named a finalist for Akron's offensive coordinator contest.

Lovely humans. Yes it's our first episode from the Epic Baseball Road Trip: CLE, DET, CHI edition. We give you the NCiB takes on Progressive Field, Comerica Park, and Wrigley Field. What are pierogi nachos, really? Yes we care that the bathrooms are just that good. No, in fact “good” beer is NOT available everywhere in the park. How far will Patti travel to execute a visual Hello Kitty/Detroit Tigers joke? Yes every single person in the entire midwest is pretty nice and the people working guest services are the people that should be working guest services. With the notable exception of JJ Wetherholt and Ivan Herrera, our current bfs were not playing or not playing well in front of your hosts. We were a day early for an historic CLE win, and a day late for Joshua Baez's historic debut, but we were there for Bradgley Rodriguez's first save.. And we apparently are a jinx (curse?) on the home teams. Wow Jake, 4 teams in 21 days? We recommend cross-training at LeBron James' Buckets restaurant in Akron, and we can't wait to get to Springfield this week to check on the HR race between Kelsie and Denae.

Ohio is expanding its fracking industry despite concerns of its environmental impact 1.4 billion gallons of fracking wastewater, or toxic brine, is being pumped into injection wells for long term storage in Ohio every year. This salty wastewater byproduct of fracking is full of heavy metals, radioactive materials, cancer-causing benzene and hazardous chemical additives from the fracking process. Just outside of Marietta, the injection wells that are supposed to hold this sludge and keep it away from nearby drink water aquafers are failing. At least one third of the toxic fracking wastewater currently stored underground in Ohio comes from other states. In addition to this already existing containment and importing concerns, Ohio has been increasing its own fracking footprint over the last three years by leasing out its public land to this industry, oftentimes to out-of-state developers. In September, nearly 3,000 acres of Wayne National Forest, Ohio's only national forest, will be auctioned off for these purposes, despite concerns about fracking's environmental impact and effect on nearby populations. Thursday on the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney, we'll discuss fracking, its toxic wastewater byproduct and the impact its storage could have in Ohio. The protest period for the September sale of land for fracking in Wayne National Forest is open until Monday, Aug. 17. Protests must be mailed or hand delivered to the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management. Note: We reached out to the Bureau of Land Management and the Ohio Oil and Gas Land Management Commission, both of which are organizations involved in the leasing of development rights for possible fracking. While the Ohio Oil and Gas Commission did not respond to requests for a statement, the Bureau of Land Management provided the following statement to the Sound of Ideas after this episode aired: Oil and gas development on public lands generates substantial revenue that directly benefits the American people, with roughly half of all royalties and fees returning to states like Ohio to support local services and infrastructure. The Bureau of Land Management follows all applicable laws and regulations when evaluating lease parcels, and the Wayne National Forest has confirmed its consent for this lease sale. Hydraulic fracturing is one of the techniques operators may use to produce energy resources, and the BLM requires thorough environmental review before development occurs. Multiple environmental analyses—including the 2016 Environmental Assessment and the 2025 Supplemental Environmental Assessment—found that oil and gas development in the region can provide economic activity, jobs, and revenue while operating under required environmental safeguards designed to protect land, water, wildlife, and surrounding communities. Guests: - Kevin Mueler, Assistant Professor of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences, Cleveland State University - Tristan Rader, District 13 - D, Ohio House of Representatives - Susan Vessels, President, Marietta City Council "Shuffle" - Rent For Cheryl Then we bring you another episode of "Shuffle," where we meet Rent For Cheryl, who is having a big year, from touring Europe to headlining Akron's PorchROKR festival this weekend. Ideastream Public Media's Amanda Rabinowitz talked with two members of the Northeast Ohio band about their momentum. Guests: - Rent For Cheryl, Musicians - Amanda Rabinowitz, Host and Producer, "Shuffle" and "All Things Considered"

Gary Segars breaks down the 2026 college football win total board with a simple rule: bet the number, not the logo. The episode separates the market into four buckets — overs that may be underpriced, unders that may be inflated, a sleeper with a path to outperform expectations, and public traps involving teams good enough to tempt bettors into a bad number.The discussion runs through Akron, Washington State, Bowling Green, UCF, Syracuse, SMU, Houston, Texas, Arizona, Kennesaw State, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan before adding Cincinnati as a bonus under.Each case weighs model projections against schedule strength, returning production, quarterback changes, coaching continuity, transfer portal additions, home-road sequencing and the danger of letting last season's results shape this season's price.The biggest themes include close-game regression, brutal schedules for national brands, continuity versus roster turnover, value hidden in lower-profile programs, and why a team can have an excellent season while still failing to cash an over.The episode closes with the full betting card, a bonus Cincinnati play and a reminder that season-long wagers require patience when September results start creating noise.

Morning Checkdown 1:45:02 – 1:58:46 – Today’s Colts Question of the Day comes from producer Nick Rodecap: What does success look like for the Colts in the month of September as they face Baltimore, Kansas City, and Houston? 1:58:47 – Wrapping up the show, Marc and Greg talk about who will get most of the attention throughout the preseason, including the backup QB battle and running backs Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens.

Ken and Anthony follow up on the Akron promotion talk before pivoting to the Browns, with Ken conceding he was won over but firmly telling fans he won't chase any more "diamond in the rough" quarterback prospects like Carson Beck, Malik Willis, or Brennan Soresby if the position stays unresolved into next year's draft. He argues this season already counts as a developmental year and next year the team needs to commit fully to a top quarterback prospect rather than gambling on mid-round names again. Ken and Anthony debate a hypothetical where Todd Monken reunites with Beck, his former Georgia and Miami quarterback, while also raising the uncomfortable point that two different Browns coaching staffs, with very different philosophies, still haven't fully bought into Shedeur Sanders

Akron head coach Joe Moorhead joins Ken and Anthony to explain the viral season-ticket promotion letting one lucky fan help script the Zips' opening drive against Robert Morris, admitting he thought it was ridiculous at first before buying in once he saw the potential exposure and revenue for a program with the lowest operating budget in FBS football. Moorhead insists it will be a true collaboration rather than a gimmick, walking through how he builds his actual game plan and stressing he addressed it with players immediately so it wouldn't undercut the team's focus. He also admits he'd feel differently if he weren't the primary play-caller himself, which helps ease some of Ken's skepticism. By the end of the interview, Ken concedes Moorhead fully won him over on a promotion he walked in ready to rip apart.

Akron head coach Joe Moorhead discusses the viral "Play Caller for a Day" fan promotion and the complexity of his offensive system. Lima and Ken Carman weigh the Browns' future under center, comparing Shedeur Sanders and Carson Beck while questioning Todd Monken's influence. Additionally, they cover the Guardians' recent loss and an NBA investigation into Kawhi Leonard. 02:20 - Joe Moorhead Interview 06:45 - Fan Play-Calling Promotion 13:00 - Akron Promotion Discussion 20:40 - Shedeur Sanders Debate 25:45 - Browns Draft Hypotheticals 33:15 - Guardians and NBA Recap
