Live @ The Overlook: Cincinnati Traditions

Text Us Here!A city’s personality shows up in its weirdest traditions and Cincinnati has plenty. We go live from Overlook Lodge with a bar full of listeners, a stack of merch to give away, and just enough chaos to turn the crowd into co-hosts. From the jump we’re talking Flying Pig Marathon energy, the kind of local pride you only understand after you’ve watched people dress as pigs at sunrise, and the small moments that make a live podcast feel like a real neighborhood hang.Then we dig into the stuff people argue about like it’s politics: Cincinnati food, goetta, Taste of Cincinnati, and the eternal Skyline Chili vs Gold Star showdown. We also get into why Reds Opening Day feels like an actual holiday here, what it’s like when downtown floods with people, and why some traditions like the WEBN fireworks are beloved until you remember the crowds and traffic. Along the way we veer into entertainment news with a Resident Evil teaser that promises more survival horror than action, plus a Reddit “birth plan” debate that turns into a real talk about boundaries and consent in someone else’s home.The second half is pure live-show fun: Cincinnati trivia rounds for shirts and stickers, “would you rather” questions that get oddly personal, and a quick brain-health detour on how board games can support cognition as we age. We close with a special guest, author Anthony Bolton, who joins us to talk about his murder mystery Cat’s Got Your Tongue, his writing process, and where to find the book on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
