Podcast appearances and mentions of michael karlik

In this special edition of Bridging the Political Gap we travel back in time to our host's time as a city councilman in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Prior to his last election in 2017, Mr. Wallace did an interview for the podcast City Council Chronicles. It was the first and only experience at that point Mr. Wallace had had with podcasting and he enjoyed the show a lot. So now that he hosts our podcast on American History and learning ways to bring the country together from studying the World War 2 Generation we thought we might look at how his ideas worked on a small scale when he was still on the city council of Myrtle Beach. This episode is also a special treat for Mr. Wallace because it features a fun story about his Mother Gloria Bulmer, who moved to Myrtle Beach when she semi retired in 2004. That was a little over midway through Councilman Wallace's first term. Now Mrs. Bulmer was not as used to the rough and tumble of politics but she always tuned in to the council meetings and it provided for some funny moments almost as soon as the cameras turned off, and on a few occasions when they were still running too. Mrs, Bulmer passed away in March of 2021, so this interview has a special place in our host's heart.  Enjoy!!

The genius behind City Council Chronicles, Michael Karlik, is back with a new podcast. Tear It Down tells the story of North College Hill, Ohio and a "small group of outsiders wanted to change their city for the better." Michael shares why he started the City Council Chronicles, what he's learned from watching Council meetings around the world, and why he spent 10 months looking into a small Ohio town.

Amy Bancroft became mayor and began taking heat from Change*nch for not firing the city administrator. When she stood her ground, cyberbullies spread negativity and threats on the community Facebook group. Did she do the right thing?   “Tear It Down” is written and produced by Michael Karlik of City Council Chronicles (councilchronicles.com).

Nick Link is the co-founder of Change*nch who was once drawn into a shouting match with the city administrator. He pushes back against the suggestion that Change is the “party of no” and believes the group has ideas--good ideas--that the voters seem to like.   “Tear It Down” is written and produced by Michael Karlik of City Council Chronicles (councilchronicles.com).

When the new mayor attempts to hire a city administrator, the council blocks it, saying they have a major problem with the decision. There are accusations of discrimination and hostage-taking that lead to a 10-day stalemate. When the council finally gives in, not everyone is happy.   “Tear It Down” is written and produced by Michael Karlik of City Council Chronicles (councilchronicles.com).

The City Center was Dan Brooks’s vision since his school days. When the city and its incapable building manager let a roof leak get worse and worse, eventually the council had to make a choice: keep the building and its recreational programs running? Or tear it down?   “Tear It Down” is written and produced by Michael Karlik of City Council Chronicles (councilchronicles.com).

People believe one thing, then act differently. Several contradictions exist in the North College Hill government over transparency, spousal involvement, and legislating. How does this affect the city?   “Tear It Down” is written and produced by Michael Karlik of City Council Chronicles (councilchronicles.com).

Amber Bailey is the youngest and newest city council member in North College Hill, Ohio. She needs help in dealing with the other council members--people who belong to a group called “Change*nch,” which seized control of the council almost a decade ago after chasing out the longtime mayor. What do they want? Why are they preparing to tear down half of city hall? And what does it look like when a small city tries to “drain the swamp?”   “Tear It Down” is written and produced by Michael Karlik of City Council Chronicles (councilchronicles.com).

Daniel Brooks was the longtime mayor of North College Hill. But during his last years in office, he made a series of poor decisions that plunged the city into chaos. When the mayor decided to combine the salary of his city administrator with that of the administrator's wife, it prompted a lawsuit and a multi-year assault on city employees.   “Tear It Down” is written and produced by Michael Karlik of City Council Chronicles (councilchronicles.com).

Years before “drain the swamp” became a rallying cry for Donald Trump, a small group of concerned citizens banded together to change the direction of their city. They began winning elections and eventually gained control. But they used their power to do more than clean up the government--and chaos ensued.
