This summer packed an emotional rollercoaster—from a devastating crash that took a family of three, including a baby, to the haunting discovery of a decades-old infant, and the closure of a beloved Columbus Sonic after fire damage. Amid the chaos, weather turned brutal: record rains, sweltering heat, then tornadoes and floods that flipped Ohio’s August from drought to disaster. But amid the headlines, moments of joy shone through, like Bruno Mars surprising a high school class with free ice cream. And behind the news?

New episodes drop every other week.
