Episode 38 - Steven M. Newman - The Worldwalker

Ep. 38 — Post-Election Wrap + “World Walker” Steve NewmanWe'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.County & local newsVeterans Village site approved off SR 125 in Monroe Twp; 19 subsidized units for unhoused/at-risk vets, construction targeted for 2026Operation Green Light: county buildings in Batavia lit green to honor vetsNew Richmond: Dec. 6 River Village Christmas; discolored-but-safe water; Robin Hill partial closure; council 11/18 @ 7 p.m.Goshen: 24,000 tons of junk finally getting hauled off the 7-acre illegal dump after 17 years, paid largely by $2.5M state grantAlso in this episodeHoliday donation special running through Jan. 1: $25 or more gets an on-air mention and a short holiday note.We need a boots on the ground report from New Richmond on their funky smells and funky water.Upcoming guest: Terry Casey from Goshen Grind Follow on Facebook & Instagram, and signup for the Thursday newsletter.FacebookInstagramNewsletterIf the show brings you value, consider supporting us!Donate
