Amongst the regular ads, there are also scams, including get-rich-quick schemes and fraudulent ads. These scams may not be a simple glitch in the system. It is rather an organized effort for Meta to get richer.

Two journalists from Reuters uncovered the truth about Meta with their series “Meta’s Secrets of Success.”

Show notes

Gov. Mike DeWine moves to tighten Medicaid measures amid concerns about possible fraud.

Fascinating Ohio: Youth homeless shelter CEO, college administrator and trivia entrepreneur May 14, 2026

Youth that grow up on the streets often have no safe places to turn to and they depend on charitable organizations. We’ll learn more about the only youth homeless center in the Dayton area.

Food banks might provide whole foods, but what about those who don't have the resources to cook their own healthy meals.

What's the story behind the land drama involving Columbus' women's pro soccer team? May 14, 2026

Show notes

A working group is meeting weekly to determine a new location for a park on Columbus' southwest side.

This comes after the city decided to use McCoy Park for a new soccer training facility.

Officials say that guaranteeing this land for the training facility was essential to the city’s bid for a professional women’s soccer team.

But how did this happen? Why did a piece of land near I-71 and Greenlawn Avenue become the deciding factor in whether or not Columbus got a women’s soccer team?

We're talking about it on this hour of All Sides.

Jordan Laird, Columbus and Franklin County government reporter, The Columbus Dispatch
Shannon Hardin, president, Columbus City Council
Liz Reed, chair, Southwest Area Commission

Author details fully incorporating AI into her life for one year in new book May 13, 2026

Show notes

What if you turned over almost all your daily tasks to AI?

The time-consuming ones. The irritating ones. Would your life be better? Easier?

Journalist Joanna Stern, always up for experimenting with the tech tools in our lives, did just that.

She incorporated AI in nearly every aspect of her life, and her family’s.

A robo-dog, check; an AI consult on her mammogram, check; an AI trainer and therapist, check.

And she wrote about it.

Her experiment is chronicled in the new book, I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI To Do (Almost) Everything, which is out now. She talks with us about what she learned.

Joanna Stern, journalist/author, I Am Not A Robot: My Year Using AI To Do (Almost) Everything
