“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

×Ohioans often get to benefit from blue skies and sunny days that come with Midwestern summers, but while many people turn their focus on fun in the sun, severe weather in Ohio comes in multiple forms across the Buckeye State. During Memorial Day weekend 2019 encountered 21 tornadoes across western and central Ohio, and already in 2022, a one-week span saw 10 tornadoes. Guest host Chuck Ringwalt talks with Spectrum News 1 Chief Meteorologist Eric Elwell and Spectrum News 1 Meteorologist Andrew Kozak about why Ohio sees severe weather from tornadoes to floods and extreme heat, and how to stay safe during those events.…
June is Pride Month, and often those who honor it celebrate with festivals, parades and more. It’s seen as a visible way for the LGBTQ community and allies to celebrate who they are. Guest host Mike Kallmeyer spoke with state Sen. Nickie Antonio, D-Lakewood, the first openly gay state representative in Ohio; Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey, the first openly gay sheriff in Hamilton County; and Key Beck, interim senior manager of clinical prevention programs at Equitas Health, to discuss what efforts are being done across Ohio on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. While many feel like great strides have been made in LGBTQ+ rights, some still say there is a long way to go to truly reach equality.…
When someone picks up the phone to call 9-1-1, the expectation is first responders will shortly dispatch and be on their way to help during the crisis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, staffing at departments across the state saw emergency medical professionals leaving the career or taking jobs elsewhere for a variety of reasons. Guest host Mike Kallmeyer speaks with Rep. Brian Baldridge, R-Winchester; Brian Hathaway, president and CEO of Spirit Medical Transport in Greenville; and Eric Burgess, president of the OHIO EMS Chiefs Association; to discuss how new guidelines, training and funding may encourage those interested to join the career field.…
The roar of the crowd, the shining lights and the boom of the drum accompanied by a guitar, the life of a rock star is something many dream about as kids, but only the talented and frankly the lucky get to live out the dream. While many think the first step on the road to rock ‘n roll fame is a move to Los Angeles, New York or another metropolis, is it possible to build a grassroots following into fame? Spectrum News 1 reporter and anchor Chuck Ringwalt guest hosts and speaks to longtime radio dj Randy Malloy, also owner of CD 92.9, an independent alternative rock station; and Kenzie Coyne, front woman for Hello Luna, a Columbus area group, to discuss the ever-changing music landscape and how bands work to get their sound out to their listeners.…
The select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol will begin a series of public hearings June 9 to outline its findings. In the 17 months since supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 election, the committee has interviewed more than 1,000 people and subpoenaed five Republican members of Congress, including Ohio’s Jim Jordan. Spectrum News 1 Washington Bureau Reporter Taylor Popielarz guest hosts and speaks with two Ohio political scientists, David Cohen of the University of Akron and Robert Alexander of Ohio Northern University, who study democracy and have been outspoken about it since the Capitol insurrection.…
Taking over the family business or following in a parent’s footsteps professionally is something millions of Americans do. But what about when the family business is the United States Congress? Republican Rep. Bob Latta, OH-5, has been in office since 2007. Long before that, his father, the late Delbert Latta, represented the same northwest Ohio district for 30 years. Spectrum News 1 Washington Bureau Reporter Taylor Popielarz guest hosts and speaks with Bob Latta about what it was like growing up with a parent in Congress, whether pursuing politics himself was a given because of it and if the type of family affair helps or hurts the federal government.…
Matt Triplet has coached high school sports for more than 20 years, but in 2018, a phone call made him aware of a potentially suicidal athlete, an issue that has been growing in recent years. As the conversation happened, he began feeling he was unequipped to handle the situation fully. He then set up a seminar for lacrosse coaches in central Ohio. With a low turnout, he continued to work for a solution. Guest host Mindy Drayer speaks to him about House Bill 492, which would require coaches to have mental health training as part of their pupil activity permit certification process. The requirement would join existing trainings for a PAP certification, including CPR, cardiac arrest, concussion and first aid. The National Suicide Hotline is 800-273-8255.…
Abortion rights are a polarizing and complicated issue. Protests and counterprotests since the leaked draft opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court shows how invested many Americans are in the topic. But the leak, and possibility of the court reverse one of its own precedents, raises the question: How much power should government have in decisions Americans make about their healthcare? Curtis Jackson speaks with Sharona Hoffman, professor of law and bioethics and codirector of Case Western Reserve University Law-Medicine Center, to discuss if abortion rights would be the end of the decision or if it opens the door to overturn other rights and affect individual privacy.…
The Republican Senate primary in Ohio saw the most money ever spent on a race for an open Senate seat in the Buckeye State, and a cutthroat race for the attention and approval of former President Donald Trump — a stark difference from the campaigns of George Voinovich and Rob Portman. However, Gov. Mike DeWine was the victor in the gubernatorial primary, looked at as a member of the “country club conservatives,” despite receiving less than half the cast votes. Curtis Jackson speaks with Gary Abernathy, a conservative columnist, to discuss where the GOP appears to be headed in Ohio.…
The concept of the birds and the bees was a simplified symbolic way to explain sex to youth, but sexuality of today is a more diverse and complicated topic. With more knowledge of the diversity of sexuality comes more questions, like when is the proper age to discuss what topics, and how involved should educators be in the discussions. Bills in various states which some have deemed “Don’t Say Gay” bills limit when and how children learn about sex. The bills also raise questions on diversity, tolerance and inclusion. Ohio House Bill 616 is one of those bills. Curtis Jackson talks to Eva Goldfarb and Lisa Lieberman, professors of public health at Montclair State University, to discuss how and why a firm foundation in sex education for younger students matters in the long run.…
For more than a year, the shortage of semiconductors, or chips, has frustrated both auto manufacturers and potential buyers. Despite the issue being a money grab for many used car sellers, many want it resolved quickly. Guest host Mike Kallmeyer speaks with Rep. Jason Stephens, R-Kitts Hill; Dan "Boots" Longenette, owner of Auto Smarts Media and the host of the Auto Smarts Radio Show; and Zach Doran, president of the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association to get a firmer grasp on where the auto industry is, and if there's a chance it will be running on full cylinders anytime soon.…
Judy Hodge has spent a great amount of her life trying to help others. For decades, Hodge worked as a music teacher and also volunteered her time with things like knitting hats for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. But Hodge became the one who needed cared for when her health took a turn for the worse. Guest host Mindy Drayer speaks with Hodge who tells her story of surviving lung cancer, but then being on a ventilator for multiple months fighting COVID-19. She tells her story of survival, purpose and a community the prayed for her.…
Amusement parks, Lake Erie, professional sports and state parks are just some of the options that make up Ohio’s multi-billion dollar tourism industry. In 2019, Ohio saw a record year in tourism with $48 billion spent in Ohio before COVID-19 struck. Though with outdoor attractions like Hocking Hills, Amish country and others helping Ohio tourism stay active during the pandemic, business tourism still has catching up to do. Guest host Mindy Drayer speaks with Ohio tourism director Matt MacLaren to discuss the more than 1,000 items listed in Ohio’s tourism guide and how the state is working to return to pre-pandemic tourism glory.…
According to SemiConductors.org, computer chip manufacturing in the United States declined from 37% in 1990 to just 12%. That trend looks to change with the announcement of new Intel production facilities in Licking County, Ohio. Guest host Mike Kallmeyer speaks with Rep. Troy Balderson, OH-12; Licking County Commissioner Tim Bubb and Johnstown Mayor Chip Dutcher on what planning is being done at the local and state level to prepare for what some have called the future “Silicon Valley of the Midwest.”…
State and federal restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic forced many Ohioans out of work, causing skyrocketing unemployment claims. Businesses also had to make the tough decision to close or find alternative ways to operate. Guest host Mike Kallemeyer speaks with Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, JobsOhio CEO J.P. Nauseef and Ohio Chamber of Commerce CEO Steve Stivers to discuss the two-year anniversary of the pandemic and its effect on jobs across the state. They look at how employment in Ohio bounced back after the COVID-19 restrictions began to recede.…
“Springing forward” and “falling back” are common phrases people use to remember to set their clocks forward or back an hour for the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time. But why does Daylight Saving Time exist when not all 50 U.S. states observe the time change? Farmers often get the blame, but is it warranted? Guest host and Spectrum News 1 agriculture reporter Chuck Ringwalt speaks with Spectrum News 1 ag expert Andy Vance and Leah Curtis, policy counsel and senior director of member engagement for the Ohio Farm Bureau. They discuss how Daylight Saving Time started, why it exists and what's being done to modernize the time by which we all run our lives.…
Concerns of nuclear fallout span decades, especially for those who lived through the peak of the Cold War. As Russia continues its attack on Ukraine, those concerns are growing. Curtis Jackson spoke with Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, to discuss the ramifications of nuclear war, arms control agreements and answers the question: "Should we worry about nuclear war right now?"…
Carjacking cases are on the rise, and are among a notable increase among violent crimes during the pandemic. In some cases, police are arresting teens and children for the crimes. The John Jay Center for Criminal Justice reported the disturbing trend includes underage suspects who are carjacking drivers with the goal of committing another crime moments later. Curtis Jackson speaks with Justin Herdman, former U.S. Attorney of the Northern District of Ohio, to discuss carjacking crimes, why they are sometimes particularly violent and what listeners may do to protect themselves.…
Russia continues to attack Ukraine in the air, sea and on the ground. While the world watches, Ohioans with Ukrainian ties — including a large population in northeast Ohio — have special interest in preserving Ukraine as a nation and a culture in the U.S. Curtis Jackson spoke with Andy Fedynsky, Director of the Ukrainian Museum-Archives in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, to discuss first-hand knowledge of the bond between Ukraine and Ohio, and to get more insight into the crisis in Ukraine. Fedynsky is the son of immigrants and was born in a refugee camp. He discusses the Ukrainian Museum-Archives center, the history of the facility and the records it houses, and how much Ukrainian Americans contribute to our state and nation.…
Thousands of Ohioans trace their roots to Ukraine, especially a large population in northeast Ohio, and many of the largest supporting voices for Ukraine in Washington, D.C. represent Ohio in Congress. Curtis Jackson speaks with Steven Miner, a history professor at Ohio University, to take an in-depth and intimate look into Russia and its often tumultuous history with Ukraine. Miner talks at length about what makes Ukraine unique in eastern Europe and why Russia has found it to be virtually irresistible during the past centuries. The discussion highlights complicated topography, geopolitics and war.…
To many, book banning and burnings probably seem like an issue found in small towns in movies like Footloose, but since the publishing of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in the 1880s, the banning of books has been a part of our society. Challenged classics, like To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men, to modern stories continue to face backlash from parents and organizations who want to implement their beliefs in schools. Curtis Jackson speaks with Ashley Perez, literature professor at Ohio State University and author of the banned book, "Out Of Darkness," to talk about book banning and the effect that it's having on children in education.…
State legislation requires all 88 counties to maintain a dog shelter, but in some instances, that is where the mandatory care for animals stops. Some people are hopeful, however, as individual municipalities are creating more animal care requirements and humane societies work for pet population control and humane treatment. Guest host Mindy Drayer talks with Kellie Difrischia, Director of the Columbus Dog Connection; and Julie Mercer, of Pike Pet Pals, how the people of Ohio can help to care for pets across the state, how the cat overpopulation problem is "10 times worse" than dogs and how humane societies do not receive government funding.…
Ohio voters continue to receive partisan and gerrymandered maps as a result of the process currently in place that puts state politicians in charge of the redistricting process. The first group of maps already were struck down by the Ohio Supreme Court and the second set are receiving objections. Curtis Jackson speaks with multiple law and politics experts to discuss if a citizen panel, like the nationally-acclaimed one used in Michigan where panel members are vetted for no obvious political bias, is the way to go.…
Johnny Carson is considered by many as the golden standard for what late night talk shows should be. Carson’s balance of comedy and politics and his style of hosting a top-rated late night comedy show is seen as very different from today's late-night stars, including Fallon, Kimmel and Colbert. Curtis Jackson speaks with Brian Calfano, Spectrum News 1 contributor and journalism professor at the University of Cincinnati, to discuss Calfano’s latest research effort, an in-depth look at Carson’s work, giving a picture of how the nature of late night’s interface with political topics has changed in 50 years.…

They discuss keeping track of obligations while remaining aware of Seasonal Affective Disorder and how it impacts people during this time of year.…
“Remember, remember the 5th of November — the gunpowder, treason and plot.” The British nursery rhyme recalls the foiled plot to destroy the House of Lords and assassinate King James I. Nov. 5 is celebrated by the British as the day the plot against the government and king failed. On the first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, the question is posed — how is the current health of the U.S. democracy?

Curtis Jackson speaks in-depth with Steven Steinglass, professor emeritus from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University, to analyze the comments from the Ohio Supreme Court pertaining to drawing legislative districts and whether the plans were drawn within the confines of the Ohio Constitution.…

They discuss the ramifications of the case and what impacts it may have on other issues facing the court, as well as what types of precedents it could set.…
Concerns about inflation, and the power of the mighty dollar, have been concerns for citizens and politicians alike. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns about inflation continue to grow. Curtis Jackson goes in-depth about inflation with Michael Goldberg, Association Professor of Design and Innovation at Case Western Reserve University. They explore the challenges with the supply chain, a partial history of inflation as it relates to today and pandemic-era concerns about unemployment. Goldberg said the biggest surprise for some analysts is the speed at which labor has disappeared, and the bleak number of workers available in the market.…
Since Sen. Rob Portman’s announcement that he will not seek reelection for his seat in the U.S. Senate, a crowded race in the Republican primary to replace him has formed, with all but one candidate publicly desiring the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Curtis Jackson sits down for an in-depth interview with U.S. Senate candidate Jane Timken, a Republican from the Canton area, to ask about her views on critical issues facing Ohio voters, including her stances on Critical Race Theory, former President Donald Trump's endorsements and COVID-19, among other items.…

Rep. Jim Jordan, OH-4, is releasing a new book called Do What You Said You Would Do: Fighting for Freedom in the Swamp. In the book, Jordan details how he rose to prominence on former President Donald Trump's radar and how the congressman pursued television news bookings with the understanding that anyone discussing matters relatable to the former president had an audience of one: Mr. Trump, himself. Curtis Jackson speaks with Spectrum News 1 political reporter Taylor Popielarz to discuss Jordan’s use of the media and where his political future may lead.…
Red wave rising? Ohio’s election on Nov. 4 turned out mostly as expected, with Mike Carey (R) winning a Congressional seat in OH-15 and Shontel Brown (D) winning in OH-11.

In this episode of Dear Ohio Curtis talks to a former Afghan interpreter now living in Cincinnati and the Army officer who helped him get there. Through first-hand accounts, they explain the danger and the difficulty of going from Afghanistan to Ohio.…
The surge in delta variant COVID-19 cases has reignited the debate over whether people should get vaccinated and wear masks to protect others against the coronavirus.

In this episode of Dear Ohio, Curtis Jackson looks at the concept of utilitarianism and how it could help some reconsider how they are looking at the pandemic.…
The NCAA now allows student-athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness, or NIL.

Seven months after supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, some Ohio lawmakers are playing direct roles in investigating what happened, while others could become part of the probe. Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan (R, OH-4) was initially chosen to serve on the Jan. 6 Select Committee tasked with investigating the Capitol attack, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blocked him once he started calling it “impeachment round three.” He’s now a leading voice criticizing the panel, but there’s a chance he could be called to testify before it because he confirmed to Spectrum News that he spoke with then-President Trump on Jan. 6. Tim Ryan, a Democratic congressman who represents northeast Ohio, was one of the first members of Congress to start investigating the attack because he chairs the subcommittee that oversees funding the U.S. Capitol Police. While he’s not on the new select committee, he is tracking its work closely as he continues to figure out how to safely reopen Capitol Hill to the public. In this episode, our Washington Bureau reporter Taylor Popielarz speaks with Jordan and Ryan after the select committee’s first hearing, which featured testimony from four police officers who responded to the attack. Their divided views over it represent how fractured Congress is after Jan. 6.…

On July 15, families across Ohio and the rest of the country started receiving new, larger monthly payments from the federal government for their children. The child tax credit was temporarily expanded by Democrats in March when the American Rescue Plan was signed into law by President Joe Biden. For 2021, a family with a child under age 6 will receive $3,600 while those with kids ages 6-17 will receive $3,000 per child. But the expanded policy is currently in place for only one year, meaning it could return to $2,000 per child if the expansion isn’t extended. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who chairs the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, has been pushing for the child tax credit to be expanded and made permanent since 2013. In this episode, our Washington Bureau reporter Taylor Popielarz speaks with Brown about his strategy going forward, how this would be paid for, and the obstacles he faces from Republicans and the Biden Administration.…
Congressional races and an open Senate seat have once again put Ohio in the national political spotlight. What's unusual this time is the influence of a former president and other national figures who are taking an unprecedented interest in the outcome of these races. It all begs the question: is all politics still local or has the polarized political climate made district and statewide races an extension of national interests? In this episode, Curtis talks to Washington Bureau reporter Taylor Popielarz about what he's seeing in Washington and on the ground in Ohio.…

The government added 850,000 jobs last month in another sign that the economy is rebounding after the pandemic, but the recovery is happening amidst an unprecedented demand for workers. The good news is more people are actively looking for jobs. The bad news (for employers) is jobseekers are being more selective. As a result, employers are offering incentives, including higher wages, bonuses and more flexible schedules. All are signs of how the pandemic has changed the labor market and the economy. In this episode of Dear Ohio, Curtis looks at what this all means for the future of work.…

Happy Birthday, America! As we near the 245th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we’re going to take a look at what drives American exceptionalism. Our national character is defined by optimism and a belief in the impossible, but what happens when that can-do spirit devolves into magical-thinking and a refusal to accept empirical evidence that’s contrary to one’s beliefs? Ohio recently became a powerful example of this kind of conspiracist thinking. On this episode of Dear Ohio, Spectrum News 1 anchor Curtis Jackson interviews Kurt Andersen, author of Fantasyland, who explains why sometimes rejecting reality can be as American as the 4th of July.…

The discussion surrounding the repayment program for disadvantaged producers is also connected to national conversations about race and public policy, including Critical Race Theory and reparations for the descendants of African American slaves. In this series of reports, Curtis Jackson examines how the past is informing current policy in Ohio and political debate in the state and beyond.…

More than one year since the COVID-19 pandemic began taking the lives of millions of people around the world, vaccines have emerged as the best defense against it. The two-dose inoculations from Pfizer and Moderna, as well as the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine that now requires a warning label, have been proven effective and safe for the vast majority of individuals. But concerns about the speed of their development, denial about the threat the virus poses to the young, and the traumatic legacy of public health initiatives in minority communities are among the cultural, structural, historical and political barriers that have formed against them. These obstacles are present in rural and urban communities in the Buckeye State. In this episode of Dear Ohio, Curtis Jackson talks to a public health official in one of the state’s hardest hit counties, and two physicians and researchers at the Cleveland Clinic.
