Our Editor's Take

Today in Ohio is a daily news podcast about life in the Buckeye State. The podcast began in 2019 as This Week in the CLE with a focus on Cleveland. The podcast became Today in Ohio in 2021 to share news from the entire state of Ohio. Producers decided to switch from a weekly to a daily format as a result.

Chris Quinn hosts Today in Ohio with several different cohosts. With a mission to "tell the story behind the story," the podcast covers a diverse range of news topics. The first episode focuses on Northeast Ohio school board candidates and their donors. Discussions about American politics feature in many episodes of the podcast.

Today in Ohio listeners can expect election day coverage and stories about Republicans and Democrats. One episode focuses on the Ohio Republican party's decision to support Donald Trump in 2024. In an episode on gerrymandering, the hosts report on an Ohio Supreme Court ruling.

In one episode, the hosts ask, "Are you safe driving to Michigan to buy marijuana and bringing it back to use in Ohio"? In another, they discuss the "Cleveland School of Cannabis." The hosts explain what critics say about the actions of the Ohio House on voter-approved marijuana law. Another subject is the lawmaker's decisions on LGBTQIA+ issues like anti-transgender legislation.

The hosts also discuss the actions of local politicians. Examples include Congressman Jim Jordan and Frank LaRose, Ohio's Secretary of State. Discussions about Ohio's House Speaker, Jason Stephens, and state senator Jerry Cirino also occur. The hosts aren't afraid to share their views on decisions made at taxpayer expense. The two discuss a report on a bribery indictment. They ask, "When will FirstEnergy execs wear orange jumpsuits"?

Today in Ohio might interest people who want to learn about the state's most relevant news.
