    Ep 13: A Chat with Isaac Steele, Frontline Tactical, LLC.

    This week, Marty and Mike lament the ending of their favorite podcast, 60 Songs that Explain the 90s, and make an impassioned plea for host Rob Harvilla to come to Chillicothe to sign copies of the book he wrote from the podcast. To avoid all the guys fanboying over Rob's show, start at 19:13. (But don't really.).

    Issac Steele is our guest this week, and he's started a self-defense small business to teach people of all ages how to defend themselves properly.  We love spotlighting local products that return and do great things. He's not only a law enforcement officer in the area but someone passionate about helping people stay safe. We also talk a little about his career in mixed martial arts, which he has placed on hold for now but is still very connected to that world.

    Ep. 12: A Chat with Clay Archer, Ride The Wave Show

    We love it when a good thing leads to great things. Clay Archer had an idea to cover local high school sports but knew the landscape was a little crowded. His idea was to create a podcast/show that would cover sports but do it in a fun way.

    That's the genesis of the Ride the Wave Show.

    But it's more than a show - it's more like a movement. Clay and his co-hosts need to build a community around the show. Their approach is creative and meeting needs. Give the show a listen and hear how they'll bring two counties together on March 9, 2024, to meet a need for a family.

    Ep 11: A chat with the guys from COVA

    You might be thinking that February is the furthest we can get from outdoor volleyball in Ohio. Still, we are honored to have the founders and sustainers of the Chillicothe Outdoor Volleyball Association (COVA) with us on the podcast this week.  Bret Wrightsel, Paul Tanedo, Kory Lambert, and Chad Minney join us to talk about the group's history - and how it has evolved through the years. 

    What started as a way to have some fun playing sand volleyball has grown to a full slate of weekly games during the warmer months and a way to give back to the community.  They are very involved in the annual Sand in the Streets volleyball tournament in conjunction with Downtown Chillicothe but have a lot of other things going.

    Ep. 10: A Chat with Jalen Snowden, indy filmmaker

    If you watch "A Bad, Bad Day," you'll be struck by the local backdrops and might even recognize a few faces in the short film, which recently debuted at the Chicago Film Fest.
    It's all part of Jalen Snowden's effort to make his first film, but it's just part of his dream of making movies.

    Listen today to hear his influences, why he chose to shoot many of the scenes in Chillicothe, and where he thinks he'll take his craft in the future.

    Ep. 9: A Chat with Anna Armistead, Hope Partnership Project

    With its foundations during the throes of the heroin epidemic in Ross County, the Hope Partnership Project has always been relentless at trying new things to help people find recovery and end addiction one life at a time.

    We've had Dr. John Gabis on the show before to talk about the start of HPP.  Still, with recent news, we wanted to have the new local coordinator, Anna Armistead, on to talk about what we're seeing in trends for addiction and recovery in Ross County and addressing harm reduction strategies.

    Anna's a passionate advocate for recovery - something we're very passionate about helping to spread throughout our community.  If you need help, there's help available - call 211 to get connected to resources or visit the website.

    Ep. 8: A Chat with Tyler Woodbridge

    Even after the tumult of the past few years for Tyler Woodbridge, his energy and attitude are infectious! He's a guy who has great dreams, a positive outlook, and a wealth of knowledge about ... well, trivial things. But that's a good thing. In fact, it's part of why he's a contestant on the Fox game show "We Are Family." The show's host is actor Anthony Anderson, and it airs at 9 p.m. EST Wednesday.

    Tune in today to find out how Tyler got on the show, what he found once he started vibing with his fellow contestants, and what else he's into these days.

Title says it all

Feels Like Home says it so well. The dynamic between Marty and Mike is so good and feels like something that has always been. Can’t recommend this enough.
