Mudd City Football is a new youth city league with teams scattered around the city for kids to connect with. First up, a miracle. The Battle of I75 has moved to the best day of the WEEK. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CAUTION BABY ON BOARD. We're going to be quick today because Baby JJ is quite fussy while my friend Alona Matchenko is here for two causes. One, to spread the word about a prestigious grant Toledo Helps Ukraine received, and another resource drive her and her team are holding the first several Sundays of the summer.

She's back, but I'm sure if it's her second or third time. I know the first time she was here, she thought it was going to be a GOT YA interview. Me!? NEVER! Just GOT YA...doing fantastic things in our community. This is back to back episodes of people truly doing live saving work. Vets on Friday was with Amanda Held, and now families with Christina Rodriguez from Mom's House. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Amanda Held wants to visit, Amanda Held gets to visit! Amanda is the creator of the life saving program HOOVES - horse guided healing intensives for veterans. One of those intensives just wrapped up, and next weekend Amanda and her team are hosting a bit of an open house event so you can see what I did a few years when I got to tour the HOOVES sanctuary. As always, exceptional mental health insight from Amanda. She's always growing in her journey and I come away with new tips for myself after each of our visits First up, our online behavior has come to real life, and it's happening to quickly and too often.

Shannon Bova from Sunshine Communities returns her with her boss, CEO, Jason Abodeely, to talk about the org recently being featured on actor Andy Garcia's All Access program. Also, this visit coincides with Jason announcing his departure from SC earlier this week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Like my RetroSkate event on June 12th, Techledo is also part of the Watershed Weekend celebration at Glass City Metroparks (and surrounding areas). Let's see what's new, better and later with this year's iteration of this massive dance event with Doug Hinebaugh and Dennis Cox.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A friend invited me to Water For Ishmael's International Dinner and Culture Walk a few weeks ago. I'd heard of them and the event for some time but my first time attending already has me excited to be a part of next year's festivities. What IS WFI!? Let's ask their ED Janelle Metzger, and Moriah Yates, that question and many more, including how they can pull off their work in what's unfortunately become a very anti-immigrant climate, not just here, but in many places across the globe.

Adam Cassi, from Keep Toledo's Lucas County Beautiful, and I have not caught up in a bit, and I had to cancel on him last week, so since he's got some work things going on I suggested we just record out catching up! He's got Litter League, why many smokers are DOUBLE OFFENDERS, his home project bravery, the most incorrectly recycled items and much more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A little later in the year than usual a TPD friend, Taylor Dungjen, is here to talk recruiting. But after that, a widely discussed gang map she created in her former life as a Blade reporter, why DOES it lead if it bleeds, those police cameras in lots of places and their importance, and just how good Love On The Spectrum is.

Ella Langley may be the hottest thing in music and she's here this week. I can envision this being her last time here until her retirement tour because she will have become too big for the area and venue. Also, use the shuttle, TDWP2 and a local on Jeopardy. I apologize for the crappy audio. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
