    Apr 28 2026
    Episode 3: "Ohio v. Radio" (the Original Fake News). Alex looks at early radio as the new mass media force it was in the first half of the 20th century. We travel to Cincinnati, the home of Powell Crosley, Jr. the "Henry Ford of Radio" and learn about the outsized role of Ohio in the rise of radio. The cultural power of radio is discussed and how the public's trust in this new media was destroyed by Orson Welles's "War of the Worlds" broadcast in 1938 that cause nationwide panic.

  • Close Call: When the US Almost Lost Cincinnati (Ep.2: "Ohio v. Invasion")

    Close Call: When the US Almost Lost Cincinnati (Ep.2: "Ohio v. Invasion")
    Apr 14 2026
    Season 9, Ep. 2: "Ohio v. Invasion" : When the US Almost Lost Cincinnati. In September 1862, the US Civil War was raging and the Confederates were winning victory after victory. Today, Alex talks about the overlooked story of the Defense of Cincinnati as the Rebels moved in to take the Queen City of the West in the fall of 1862. It was an incredibly close run thing. We talk about Cincinnati, the 6th largest city in the US in 1862, and how average Ohioans stepped up to defend the city from an invading Confederate Army. Our guests include Peter Bronson, author of the book The Man Who Saved Cincinnati (2023). Peter's amazing book is one of our favorite books on Ohio history. Peter takes us through the fall of Kentucky to the Confederate Army and the heroes that emerged to save Cincinnati from invasion and destruction. From the subject of his book General Lew Wallace to the ragged militia of "Squirrel Hunters" and including the first African American brigade in the Civil War, the Black Brigade of Cincinnati. All joined forces to prepare Cincinnati for invasion. An invasion they narrowly avoid. Buy The Man Who Saved Cincinnati on Audible or here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Saved-Cincinnati-History/dp/B0CLZ71DP9 Our second guest, Jason French of the Crawford-Behringer Museum in Covington, KY shares the story of the Defense of Cincinnati and Kentucky's precarious position as a border state in the Civil War. Jason talks about the little reported assassination attempt in Cincinnati on President-Elect Abraham Lincoln in 1861. A story we were completely unaware of until reading Peter's book.

    Mar 31 2026
    Ohio v. the World podcast is back! It’s the Season 9 premiere “Ohio v. Veterans. Alex is back to discuss what happens when the US Army is used against its own citizens as it was during the Bonus Army Riot of July 1932 in Washington, DC. We travel back to the Great Depression to bring you this forgotten story from American history that rocked the nation at the time. Tens of thousands of World War I veterans descended on the Capitol to lobby for the early release of the war service bonus but were met with violence from the US Army that left 3 Americans dead on July 28, 1932. We’re joined by Paul Dickson, co-author of the definitive book on this event, The Bonus Army: An American Epic. A fantastic book on the Bonus Army movement and its tragic end.
