  • The "Smither-vent" - Episode 108 - City Contract Controversy & Empowering Cincy Voters for Change
    Sep 29 2025
    Is it possible that a city contract could be strategically timed to secure financial interests just before an election? Join Christopher Smitherman as he unravels the layers surrounding a contentious contract in Cincinnati involving vendor Iris Roley. Christopher sheds light on the perplexing decision of signing a multi-year deal under such questionable circumstances. We scrutinize the lack of oversight from city officials, the eyebrow-raising choice of the contractor to employ her son at a premium rate, and the glaring absence of mandated background checks for individuals working with children. What is the true return on investment of this contract, and why is transparency seemingly ignored? The conversation demands accountability when public funds are at stake.

    But the intrigue doesn't stop there. With election season looming, we explore how local NGOs and political influencers sway the governance of Cincinnati. The episode challenges our listeners to ponder the tangible consequences of voter turnout and the potential for significant change in City Hall through the election of candidates like Keating, Goodin, and Matthews. We make a compelling case for unity among rational conservatives, Blue Dog Democrats, independents, and Republicans, urging them to speak up and advocate for leaders prioritizing essential services over political games. Don't miss the opportunity to engage with leaders like Christopher Smitherman at upcoming events, where direct voter interaction can pave the way for meaningful change.

  • The "Smither-vent" - Episode 106 - Media Narratives and Justice
    Sep 8 2025
    How do media narratives shape our understanding of crime and justice? Join us as we sit down with Christopher Smitherman, former vice mayor of Cincinnati and current City Council candidate, to confront this pressing question. We dive into the tragic story of Iryna Zarutska , a young Ukrainian woman whose death at the hands of an illegal immigrant raises uncomfortable truths about media coverage and societal biases. Smitherman challenges the selective attention from organizations like the main stream media, urging for an unbiased lens on crime, irrespective of the perpetrator's race or immigration status.

    Smitherman brings his wealth of experience in public office to the discussion, sharing how these tragic cases highlight a dire need for a more comprehensive, transparent approach to crime and media representation. Through these conversations, we explore how society can better prioritize justice and equality. Tune in for an enlightening episode that promises to not only inform but also inspire a deeper conversation on the critical issues that shape our communities.
