Hear Cincinnati Podcast: FC Cincinnati stadium; legal marijuana predicament

Posted

This week on Hear Cincinnati, host Maxim Alter, digital reporter Lucy May, digital editor Meghan Wesley and 9 On Your Side anchor Chris Riva discuss Fiona's profile in The New York Times, how addiction affects the LGBTQ community, the firing of Matt Lauer over sexual misconduct allegations, a 150-pound English mastiff who got a new leg on life, rumors that police use data from popular mail-in DNA tests and more. 

Maxim then talks with government and politics reporters Paula Christian and Amanda Seitz about FC Cincinnati's two big wins this week in its quest to join Major League Soccer and construct a new soccer stadium in Oakley. Paula and Amanda also break down the $20 million funding gap city leaders have yet to address. 

Later on the podcast, reporter Lisa Bernard-Kuhn explains why the people tasked with growing legal cannabis in Ohio may need to break the law to make it happen.
