The future of “Explore Cincinnati”

Thursday, December 17, 2009 – 2:37 am

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!

Returning at a New Time Slot

Friday, April 3, 2009 – 9:52 pm

Explore Cincinnati will be returning Spring Quarter at a new time slot: Wednesday 2-4 pm.  If you listen via podcast, you do not have to change anything; you will continue to get all future episodes normally.

This quarter, we’re going to try something new and spend several episodes focusing on individual neighborhoods in Cincinnati.  We’ll have a guest on to talk about what’s happening in that particular neighborhood.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned for an exciting quarter!

On tomorrow’s show, I’ll be discussing Mayor Mallory’s State of the City address and his top priorities for the city. We’ve got news on The Banks, Clifton Plaza, Trinity Flats in OTR, and a few of UC’s residence halls. There’s some news on our transportation infrastructure in the city, and one proposal on a new way to fund highway projects.

Our friend Dave Keaton from the Bearcast Sports department will be stopping by for an update on Cincinnati’s teams, from the Bearcats to the Reds. And we may be getting a call from a friend of the show who’s currently visiting a certain city in the Pacific Northwest!

Also, stay tuned to Bearcast Radio after Explore Cincinnati is over — I will be interviewing one of Louisville’s up-and-coming rock bands, The Broken Spurs, who are playing at The Comet in Cincinnati on Friday night.  And if you need something to do this weekend, check out the two events sponsored by Bearcast: Brews and Bands at Baba Budan’s on Friday (free!), and a Neutral Milk Hotel tribute show at Rohs Street Café on Saturday ($5).
