From Beachwood development drama to the future of Cleveland, this episode is packed with the kind of honest political talk you do not usually hear.Then things take a turn into parenting life, raising outspoken kids, navigating spring break chaos, gaming culture, and what happens when your six-year-old develops extremely strong political opinions of her own.We also get into pop culture obsessions, reality TV, The Pitt, favorite shows, Buffy heartbreak, and one of the wildest real-life stories of the year involving Afroman, police overreach, and how turning lemons into lemon pound cake became a courtroom victory.It is smart, funny, passionate, and completely unfiltered.

This week on One More Thing, we are deep in the chaos of real life with special guest Carrie Miller.It starts with an unsettling discovery that spiders can swim and somehow only gets more unhinged from there.

There is also plenty of honest conversation about relationships, division of labor at home, and the invisible load that so often falls on one partner.Along the way, we spiral through childhood stories, internet rabbit holes, perimenopause realities, and the kind of unfiltered moments that make you feel a little less alone in the madness.If you have ever tried to balance parenting, partnership, and your own sanity all at once, this episode will hit home.

This week’s episode is a special collaboration between One More Thing and Everything Is Local, featuring an in-depth conversation with County Council candidate Ebony Spann.Running in District 11, which includes Beachwood, Euclid, South Euclid, Lyndhurst, Richmond Heights, and Highland Heights, Ebony shares the personal experiences and community insight that shaped her decision to run for office.

Ebony also opens up about balancing campaign life with motherhood, her passion for equitable access to services, and why real change starts at the community level.This is a conversation about leadership, lived experience, and what it means to truly represent the people in your district.If you care about your community, local politics, or simply want to hear from someone bringing a fresh and grounded perspective to public service, this episode is for you.
