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).

Edit (2/21/09): At about 19:25 in the program, I accidentally said “Between 2000 and 2005, Ohio lost 100,000 people between the ages of 20 and 24.”  I meant to say “…between the ages of 20 and 44.”  Sorry for this mistake.

COAST on Friday’s Show

Wednesday, February 18, 2009 – 11:33 pm

On this Friday’s show, we will be taking to someone from COAST (likely Mark Miller) about the organization’s opposition to Cincinnati’s funding for the Inwood Village project.  COAST calls it a “free roof,” while other organizations call it “a necessary stabilization.”  We’re looking forward to hearing Mr. Miller’s thoughts on the project.

More about the project:

Tomorrow’s Show

Friday, February 13, 2009 – 12:41 am

Today, we recorded the Streetcar debate that took place on campus between Jason Haap and John Schneider.  We will be airing the debate on this week’s show.  Jake and I will also be adding our own commentary to the points that both presenters raised.  I would like to encourage anyone listening to the show live (Friday 10am EST) to please call in and share your own comments about the arguments raised on — I will announce our studio number on air when we’re ready for callers.

We also filmed the debate and will be posting the video version online early next week.  I’d like to thank Zach Mueller, Aleksandar Jovic, Kevin Bush, and Phillip Royal for helping with the recording/filming process.
