Emily Cole

Emily Cole, Director of Ohio Families Unite for Political Action and Change (OFUPAC), drops by Spotify's No. 1 Dark Horror and Gothic Fantasy podcast to discuss why you and your loved ones should vote "No" on Ohio's Issue 1. It will enshrine cash bail into our Constitution, and that's a bad thing. We discuss Issue 1, lack of response from Ohio Democratic circles, police brutality within the state, and more.

Damon Schnur

That’s right, folks, your eyes do not deceive you. The Crowcast has been delivered two days in a row. I’m a writer by trade, and I know most of you are not paying me for audio files, however, following yesterday’s release of our interview with Ohio Democratic State Auditor nominee Taylor Sappington, we have a guest with an equally important message. Damon Schnur (pronounced Schnore) is a supervisor at Starbucks on 88 E. Broad Street in Columbus, which was the first franchise in Columbus to join the nationwide unionization effort of its baristas under the union flag of Workers United. We had some technology issues with this one, which led to us broadcasting for a third time via our phones. As such, The Rooster sounds he’s using a payphone in state prison. Schur, however, sounds much better, which is good since he does most of the talking. Due to the difficulties, I did not give the man a proper intro as I was sweating bullets trying to figure out how to record a podcast over the phone, and as such we missed his opening monologue about growing up in a union household in Pennsylvania before coming to Ohio, the land of opportunity. He has been at Starbucks for nine years, and his story of service industry working conditions in Columbus will strike similarities with workers outside the corporate coffee industry. The service industry in Columbus, by the way, is a ripe environment for unionization. If the Starbucks on 88 E. Broad wins its union election, it could set off a firestorm of similar attempts throughout the city. It won’t be long into the conversation that you realize the local labor movement is lucky to have Schnur. We look forward to hearing more about him in the future.

Taylor Sappington

The Rooster traveled to Athens, Ohio, for a one-on-one interview with Nelsonville auditor and Democratic State Auditor nominee Taylor Sapping. We call him "Our Man Sappington" around Rooster Worldwide Headquarters, and we believe him to be one of the most interesting politicians in the state. Let this 70-minute interview show you why.

Freshwater Aquaman

You’re probably asking “who in the Hell is Freshwater Aquaman.” Well, he’s a longtime Twitter mutual of The Rooster. For the last six months, Aquaman has been working in the call center of an insurance company, which gives him unique insight into the crushing horrors built into our massive for-profit healthcare industry. He is granted pseudonymity here primarily because I’m a big believer in monikers over government names and also he’s trying to leave the industry on his own terms, not the bosses. I don’t even think people who have “good insurance” realize how they are only one bureaucratic decision away from getting stuck with a $58,000 medical bill. Aquaman also offers his pragmatic solutions to the industry, his idea of cancelling the troops and what the Cleveland Browns need to do to win the Super Bowl next year
