The future of “Explore Cincinnati”, take 2

If you’ve been waiting for new episodes of Explore Cincinnati, wondering when the show would return… sorry!  The plans have changed a bit over the past few months, but there is good news.

Explore Cincinnati will not be returning to the live airwaves, as previously announced.  It will, however, be returning as a podcast.  New episodes will feature discussions with some of the great guests who have been on past episodes, as well as some new voices.

The podcast-only format will allow new episodes to vary in length and be released on a less rigid schedule, so we can cover special events as they happen or release shorter episodes on slow news weeks.  We also found that only a small number of listeners tuned in to the live show, and most would wait until a more convenient time to listen to the podcast anyway.

You can still give us feedback by calling (513) 2 EXPLORE, or (513) 239-7567, and we may play your comment back on the show.  You can also leave comments here on our website, on our Facebook page, or @explorecinci on Twitter.

If you haven’t already subscribed, you can do it now, and wait for new episodes to start showing up soon!

The future of “Explore Cincinnati”

At the end of last week’s show — the final Explore Cincinnati episode for 2009 — I announced that it was also our final episode on Bearcast Radio, UC’s student radio station.  That’s because I am now a graduate of UC.  Fortunately, this is not the end of Explore Cincinnati, because we’ve found a new home.

Beginning in 2010, Explore Cincinnati will air on Radio Free Queen City (WVQC), the new public access low-power FM station being launched by Media Bridges.  You will be able to hear us over the air on Sundays at 3 pm on 95.7 FM.  Of course, new episodes will continue to be released to the podcast, meaning that you can still listen at any time on your computer or iPod.

Thanks to all of our listeners and guests who have made the first year of Explore Cincinnati such a success.  Enjoy the holidays and please join us in 2010 for more new episodes of Explore Cincinnati!

Uptown, OTR & Xavier Photos

There’s no new episode of “Explore Cincinnati” today, due to UC’s campus (and therefore the radio studio) being closed for Veterans Day. So as a consolation, I give you some of my recent photos from around the city.


Xavier’s Hoff Academic Quad

Xavier’s new Hoff Academic Quad is under construction, featuring the new Williams College of Business, the Conaton Learning Center, and a central utility plant. These photos are from a hardhat tour of the new facilities:

Neon’s Unplugged

Neon’s is re-opening in Spring 2010, but was open for two nights to give a sneak preview of this soon-to-be neighborhood hangout.
