Discover Dayton

Today was a first for me as a podcast host as I got to interview Independent candidate for Ohio's 10th Congressional District, Michael Harbaugh. While I have interviewed congressional candidates on the show before, the "first" was actually smoking a joint with a congressional candidate as we talked about his campaign and where he stands on the issues. Needless to say, he supports drug legalization. Michael and his wife co-own and operate the Wild Banana, a food truck that sells smoothies and smoothie bowls. You can follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thewildbanana/. In his spare time, Michael is running for US Congress. Join me for my conversation with him as I find out where he stands on a range of issues, including healthcare, Palestine, drug legalization, election reform, and much more on this episode of Discover Dayton. To learn more about Michael's candidacy, visit his website www.harbaugh4congress.com, or follow him on social media platforms by searching for @harbaugh4congress. Also as I mentioned on the show, I do trivia with a couple of companies and I'm looking to add some new venues, so if you'd like me to host trivia at your bar, restaurant, or local business, please reach out at gemcitydudeistpriest@gmail.com.

On today's episode of the Discover Dayton Podcast I am excited to talk with Natalie Jones, an all media journalist with Dayton Daily News and Dayton.com who focuses on food and dining, pop culture, and lifestyle. She’s been in media for nine years and she is a fellow Wright State University alum whose work I enjoy reading and (especially) watching on TikTok.

Today’s episode is a little different and is much more of a review and list of some great date day/night locations in and around Dayton, starting with the Teapot Cafe Lounge in Dayton, which just had its grand opening yesterday on Valentine’s Day. The Teapot Cafe Lounge bills itself as Ohio’s first infused coffee shop lounge, and you can get infused drinks, edibles, and smokeables there. All of them were really good and I definitely recommend checking the place out! Their website (www.teapotcafelounge.com) is still under construction, but you can find them on Facebook at https://teapotcafelounge.com/. After that we headed over to West Social Tap and Table and got some lumpia from Lumpia Queen. It’s definitely one of our favorite spots to go to get something to eat, especially if we’re both in the mood for different things. There’s a great bar in the center of it as well and you can stop in the National Aviation Historic Park across the street if you’re wanting to make it an educational date. Visit https://westsocialtapandtable.com/ to find hours and vendor information. Next up was Nails on Brown for a pedicure, and it’s just hands down one of our favorite places to go to get one. They do a great job and you don’t feel rushed or nickel and dimed when you visit. 10/10 would recommend! Visit https://www.nailsonbrown.com/ and book your appointment ahead of time. After that we visited Tokyo Grill Sushi Bar and Hibachi Buffet, and it was all delicious. There are a couple of locations in the area, but I would venture to guess that all are really good. Finally, we ended the night at the Monkey Bar and Grill, and the story behind the name alone is worth the visit. Definitely check it out sometime, and I would recommend doing it in the spring or summer when you can sit outside and admire the view of the river. Visit https://themonkeybarandgrille.com/ for more information. To learn more about the Discover Dayton Podcast host, Arch Grieve, visit gemcitydudeistpriest.com.

And finally you can now find me each week hosting trivia at Trail Town Brewing in Yellow Springs on Tuesdays from 7-9PM, so I hope to see you there!

Today my guest for the show is someone who has been on the soundtrack of my life recently (via his song "Are You With That,") so I was super excited to talk with him. On this episode we discuss what got him into music, who he'd love to collaborate with, haters, and much more, so you won't want to miss this one!

Well it’s been a minute, but the Discover Dayton Podcast is back! This is an interview that’s about a year old now, and I hated sitting on it for so long. That said, last year was one of significant change for me as I went through a divorce, tried to move out of the country to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and then met someone and fell in love and am now engaged. So, since I’ll be sticking around, I’m starting the show back up! My guest on the show is arguably the most famous rocker in Eastern Europe, and his name is Dragan “Dji Dji” Jankelic. He was the drummer for the most popular ex-Yugoslav rock group in its day: Bijelo Dogma (or White Button). I met him by chance at a BnB in Sarajevo during a visit there last year and he was gracious enough to sit down with me for an interview. Known as the “Bonham of the Balkans,” Jankelic was famous for his innovative drumming techniques, such as being the first to introduce the use of double-bass pedals to the Balkans. In this interview we talk about all kinds of things that you won’t want to miss. And, if you think traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina might be in your future but aren’t sure what all there is to do, head over to my new travel company website: www.gemcitytravels.com, and learn more about what awaits you there. I also plan on leading trips there in the future, so reach out if you’d like to learn more! Finally, I mention the ex-Yugo Rock Center in this podcast, which is run by some friends of mine and honors the rockers of the former Yugoslavia. I hope you’ll check out their website and consider going one day to visit with me! You can find them online at https://ex-yurock.com/. One more note about episodes - I won’t be publishing at the rate I was before. I’m hoping to put out between 1-2 episodes per week right now, so I hope you’ll savor them! Thanks for listening, and stay funky, Dayton.

For those who don't know already this is the second to last episode I plan to do before leaving the show in the hands of a more-than-capable duo that I can't wait to announce... but until then here's my interview with the Turbofolk musical sensation, Fazlija, who is from Bosnia and Herzegovina and happened to be doing a show in Sarajevo during my trip there this summer. Many thanks to him for sitting down to talk with me, and to my friend, Midhat Efendira, for translating the conversation! You can learn more about Fazlija or reach out about booking through his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/FAZLIJAOFFICIAL1.

For today’s episode, I’m excited to talk with Jonathan McNeal, manager of The NEON movie theater right here in downtown Dayton. The Neon is a non-profit independent movie theater that shows some great films and has an excellent and reasonably priced snack bar and is by far my favorite place to watch a movie, so I’m excited to have the chance to talk with Jonathan. You can find The NEON online at www.neonmovies.com. Also, I apologize that I haven’t had episodes out recently. For those who don’t know I’m actually going to be moving to Bosnia and Herzegovina next year, so I’m no longer going to be doing the show. But, if you love the show just know that I am looking to hand it off and leave it in good hands, so more on that as soon as I have more information... That said, I do have two more interviews that I hope to post soon, but I can’t promise what the posting timeline will look like, but they were both recorded in Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo, one of our seven sister cities. I do plan on possibly starting a podcast when I move to Sarajevo about Bosnia and Herzegovina, however, and maybe even starting a tourism business, so if you want to keep in touch and might be interested in having me help you organize a trip there in the future then you can send me an email at gemcitydudeistpriest@gmail.com and I’ll let you know if and when I do decide to start something, whether it's a podcast or a business or both! Thanks so much though for your support for this podcast, it’s truly been great being able to spotlight a city that I’ll be very sad to leave behind, and thanks to everyone who came on the show and helped me in other ways, including my Patreon supporters. I appreciate you all! Please keep in touch :) arch

Hello and welcome to the Discover Dayton Podcast, the show that’s all about the Gem City's past, present, and future. My name is Arch Grieve and I’m your host, and there’s a lot that happened last week in Dayton and much going on this weekend and beyond. It was a very tough week in terms of local restaurant news, but there’s much better news when it comes to retaining young people. There are also wine and beer events coming up as well as improv, music, dinosaurs, and more, so be sure to tune in to find out what’s going on in the Gem City. Also, I’m currently in Dallas TX at the Podcast Movement’s annual conference, and in one of the sessions I learned that one of the number one ways people learn about new shows is from a friend, so I know I say this every week, but please share this episode with a friend… do it right now!

Finally, I forgot to say this during the show, but for now, at least, I’m teaching more classes this semester than I have in the past, so for at least the time being I will only have two episodes per week. One will be an interview-based episode and the other a news roundup. I hate to say this, but if you’d like to hear more episodes each week then please support the show on Patreon, which will allow me to get the support I need to publish more episodes. Learn how to do so at discoverdaytonpodcast.com.

Today I’m excited to get to talk to someone I consider a personal mentor in my own life who is now a teacher in Yellow Springs and the Chair of the Dayton Sister City Committee. We used to work together at the Dayton Regional STEM School, however, and we still hang out and brew beer together quite often, and his name is Kevin Lydy. Join me as I talk with Kevin and learn about what the Dayton Sister City Committee is, who our sister cities are, and how the program works.

It’s August 12, 2022, which means it’s time for your news roundup episode where I read the news so you don’t have to. Be sure to listen to find out what happened last week in Dayton, as well as learn about what’s going on this weekend and beyond. Also, as I mention in the episode I’ll be taking next week off as I’m still traveling and it will be hard to get episodes published next week, so I’ll be back on August 22 with some episodes recorded in Sarajevo, one of Dayton’s sister cities, so I look forward to sharing those with you then!

Today's episode is a history-themed one, and just as a fair warning we will be talking about Nazi POWs who were held at Wright-Patterson AFB. The story is a fascinating one though and my guest, Kathleen Caffrey, does a great job of discussing the nuances of it. It's a story though that I hadn't heard about until I read it in the Dayton Daily News, where she published her first citizen-journalism piece, which you can find here: https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/green-creatures-at-wright-patt-german-pows-created-artwork-in-the-40s/NISWFRH3TRCZ7JPWCMNXDGSZZE/ If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, write a review, share it with a friend, and follow us on our other social media outlets: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/discoverydaytonpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/discoverdaytonpodcast/ Tumblr - https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/discoverdaytonpodcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPwEbNtBwp4qvqGhDCX7y4A TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@discoverdaytonpodcast If you'd like to submit a guest request to be on the show, visit our website at www.discoverdaytonpodcast.com and select the "Be a Guest" option under the pages tab.

Well today is Friday, August 5th, so that means it’s time for your weekly news roundup, where I read the news so you don’t have to! It was kind of a slow news week last week, but today we’ll look at payments Montgomery County will receive as part of an opiod settlement, and I’ll tell you an upcoming LEGO convention, and much more. There are events happening as early as tonight, so don’t wait to listen! Also, I wanted to update everyone that three of you participated in the competition to get some free merch by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Facebook, so many thanks to KeddyAllen, wsuraider88, and winner of the competition and former Gem City Podcast co-host, Terry Izzy Rock Martin, so congrats and please get in touch to let me know what you want!
