Podcast appearances and mentions of sam allard

In his latest book, Derelict Paradise: Homelessness and Urban Development in Cleveland, Ohio, Dan Kerr shows that homelessness has deep roots in the shifting ground of urban labor markets, social policy, downtown development, the criminal justice system, and corporate power. Rather than being attributable to the illnesses and inadequacies of the unhoused themselves, it is a product of both structural and political dynamics shaping the city.rnrnKerr is an associate professor of history at American University. Since his earliest work with the Cleveland Homeless Oral History Project (CHOHP), he has sought out ways to bring the oral histories he has collected back to the communities they originated from. The CHOHP project shaped the core themes woven throughout Derelict Paradise.rnrnHe is currently working on the Mobilizing Against Homelessness project, which seeks to document and amplify the voices, perspectives, and analysis of those experiencing homelessness in Washington, DC.

I covered a Shontel Brown campaign event this weekend, and captured her having a "Please Clap" moment all her own. (This audio is from the YouTube report, which provides more detail, but functions perfectly as a podcast. https://bit.ly/shontel-brown) Joining me is Dr. Richard Montgomery, who shares his reactions to Shontel Brown's stump speech. Dr. Montgomery former mayoral candidate for the city of Euclid, as well as an activist who follows Cuyahoga county politics very closely. I was first referred to Dr. Montgomery while working on the documentary series State of Injustice, about the systemic abuses of the Euclid Police Department, and the failures of that city's mayor and city council to hold them accountable. +++ SUPPORT MY WORK +++ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bzdug Substack: https://bzdouglas.substack.com PayPal: https://paypal.me/bzdouglas ### FOOTNOTES ### "What Cuyahoga County Residents Need to Know about Shontel Brown and her Campaign for Congress" by Keith Wilson https://bit.ly/shontel-brown1 "Shontel Brown outraises, outspends the field in Cuyahoga Council District 9 Democratic primary" by Andrew J.

While Washington Post reporter Kyle Swenson (who formerly worked for Cleveland Scene) was in town promoting his new book ("Good Kids. Bad City"), we were joined by current and former Scene writers Sam Allard and Eric Sandy to discuss the importance of journalism in holding power accountable and uncovering and telling the truth in the pursuit of justice. We also discuss their respective times working at Cleveland Scene, their involvement in starting a new wave of journalism for the publication, and the importance of alt-weeklies both in small cities and as a wake-up call to journalists who stick to the coasts, rather than taking up crucial positions in local journalism in flyover country. The intro song for this episode is "Going to Canada" by Racket Man. You can find their music on Spotify or purchase their music on bandcamp (racketman.bandcamp.com/). The outro for this episode is a beat graciously shared by aLive of Muamin Collective. Find their music on their website (muamincollective.com/) and listen to them on Spotify. Show notes and relevant articles: 1. "What the Boy Saw." Kyle's article in Scene that was the precursor to the book, and played a huge role in getting Ricky Jackson and Wiley Bridgeman freed.

Cleveland Scene's Sam Allard by Will Burge

I grabbed Sam Allard from Cleveland Scene Magazine to discuss the ever-frustrating Cavaliers. Sam watches the Cavs and occasionally writes stories about them, including a pre-season profile on Cavaliers coach Mike Brown upon his return. Isn't it funny what time does to sports stories? The Cavaliers and their struggles Kevin Love playing through injuries The Cavaliers talking about the regular season Can the fans take the regular season The Cavs lack of defense The NBA and buddyball The body language absolutely stinks with the Cavs right now Dion Waiters with the OKC Thunder Iman Shumpert starting? Blake Griffin and his parents Still loving Delonte West Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today I wanted to talk about the national and local perspective of the Cavs and the Browns. It feels so paranoid, angry and negative locally, but that also can sometimes feel accurate. In various cases, that perspective is backed up nationally. So what's the right perspective? I talked to Cleveland Scene's new owner Andrew Zelman and on of Scene's many resident sports fans, Sam Allard. You should follow these guys on Twitter as well.

Here is the email I sent to Scott prior to our podcast this week. Indians year in review. The team was maddening. They finished great. They actually made the playoffs. They got shut out in the playoffs. Do you need a short-hand "good" or "bad" rating for the season? I'm curious if your son had a take on whether it was a good or bad season and how that conversation went. I still just talk "at" my three year old about sports so I told him that they made the playoffs and that it was a good year. Maybe next year they can have an even better one. I imagine the 14-year-old sports fan opinion is a bit more nuanced. Speaking of nuance, the Browns won to make it three wins in a row, but the biggest reason (other than the defense) for making it three in a row tears his ACL. I worked really hard to enjoy the win, but in the end, the feeling of gloom rose to the top. I never imagined it would happen when he was named starter, but I looked forward to watching Brian Hoyer play. I did a podcast with Sam Allard and Brian Windhorst last week and we talked about how the Mike Brown story should probably be much bigger in Cleveland. Because Brown was here once and people mark his exit as the same time frame as "The Decision," Mike Brown has largely been labeled a failure. Windhorst told me that he doesn't necessarily think that's fair and that Mike Brown's resume should have made his hiring in Cleveland a bigger deal. At the time, I thought Mike Brown should have been fired after the Orlando series, if I'm being perfectly honest. Maybe I was crazy, but it seemed to me that even though he won coach of the year that year he had coached badly against Orlando and even in the sweep of the Hawks before it. Maybe I'm too fickle though. I said the same thing about Eric Wedge when he won Manager of the Year in 2007. Later on in 2010 I said that those two coaching awards were some of the worst things that happened to the respective franchises because it made those two coaches untouchable. Am I nuts to have put Eric Wedge and Mike Brown in the same category? Lastly, I truly am excited to have Mike Brown back. That being the case, it occurs to me this is the most excited I've been about all the coaches of the respective Cleveland sports teams in a long time and maybe ever. It's hard to think we'll look back and regret Terry Francona. I think there's a good chance that Chud and his staff are the real deal. Am I jumping the gun? If so, how much?
