Disclaimers and corrections:

• This was a broad introduction to Ohio. As such, there were a lot of important things we couldn’t talk about here.
• Fair warning: We absolutely believe there’s a brighter future for Northeast Ohio but we don’t shy away from its dark side and misfortunes in this episode.
• We were wrong- American cheese is, in fact, cheese.
• Wildcat Hollow is a specific trail in Wayne National Forest, not its own state park.
• The term “rock and roll” was not actually coined by Alan Freed. He was just the first to use it to describe a genre of music.
• Per JobsOhio, we’re actually a one day drive from 60% of the population of the US and Canada. https://www.jobsohio.com/en/why-ohio/doing-business-here/business-climate .
