Podcast: Everything Is Local
Published On: Tue Mar 24 2026
Description: This is a great episode where Shana is joined by guest co-host Kari Miller while Mike is away, and they talk about: A guest-hosted episode filled with energy, friendship, and a 25-year history that brings a different dynamic to the show.  Spring break plans, parenting moments, and a hilarious deep dive into kids explaining Fortnite, Roblox, and internet culture.  Local and regional politics, including the Max Miller race, county council dynamics, and frustrations with endorsements, influence, and party strategy.  The lack of transparency, debate, and long-term planning in local government—and why more community engagement actually matters.  A bigger-picture conversation about Cleveland’s identity, regional fragmentation, and why comparing it to major cities misses the point.  The wild Afroman lawsuit story, police overreach, free speech, and how one artist turned a raid into a viral moment—and a legal win.  Pop culture, Netflix cancellations, Love Is Blind, and the launch of a new spinoff podcast concept. Subscribe for more episodes like this one!
