Ep. 38 — Post-Election Wrap + “World Walker” Steve Newman
We're back to regular programming! We start with a run through of Clermont County’s contested races and ballot issues using the unofficial Board of Elections numbers as of Wednesday. We look at Loveland’s razor-thin council race (likely recount), Milford and Batavia council results, township trustee winners across the county, and every levy or zoning question, what passed and what failed. There's also a new holiday donation special.
In the second half, we talk with Bethel native Steve Newman who actually walked around the world, solo, in the 1980s. Steve talks about why he did it, training on Wyoming oil rigs, walking through Ireland during the Troubles, being checked out by an Apache helicopter, crossing North Africa, getting protected by warlords in Pakistan, dragging a water cart across the Australian Outback, and what all of that taught him about fear, dictatorships, kindness, and why America really is special.
