Tech Tuesday: International summer travel apps and tips May 12, 2026

Show notes

As summer is quickly approaching, the summer vacation season is upon us. Many people will take a week or two to let off some steam, re-set, and explore a new corner of the world.

A little preparation before departure can reduce culture shock in foreign places.

Part of this preparation can include apps that will allow people to pick where to eat and how transportation works in the destination they are traveling to.

We'll also discuss President Trump's idea that taking a hands-off approach to AI will allow the tech to grow and stay competitive with other countries, particularly China.

But the White House may be forced into overseeing AI technology if it wants to partner with companies for use in government affairs.

Then, we'll look at a new AI home companion to a majority of America, taking advice about their health from influencers, what is happening this week in technology?

What happened to the affordable car? May 12, 2026

Show notes

Certain cars are tied to specific decades. There were the muscle cars of the 1960s. The land yachts of the 1970s and the econoboxes of the 1980s.

The cars were affordable and could be repaired easily. The inexpensive and reasonably priced family sedan has been replaced by SUVs, minivans and trucks that are larger, more technologically advanced, and expensive to repair.

All Sides takes a look at what happened to the affordable car this hour.

Guests:

Clifford Winston,economist and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution
Eric Bowie, financial educator and host of the Smart Money Bro channel on YouTube

Untangled: College vs. Trade School vs. AI May 11, 2026

Show notes

Deciding what to do after high school used to feel like a one-way street leading straight to a four-year university.

Today, however, the rising cost of tuition and a shifting labor market have reopened the debate between the traditional college path and specialized trade schools.

And now, the rise of artificial intelligence has added a complex layer to this age-old debate

While a four-year degree focuses on critical thinking, and trade schools emphasize essential manual expertise, the rapid advancement of AI now threatens to automate roles in both sectors.

Join All Sides as we untangle the college vs. trade school vs. AI debate.

Guests:

Jeff Strohl, research professor and director, Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce

It’s been over 30 years since the highway was decommissioned, but we will hear from one photographer who’s love of Route 66 has been memorialized in the form of stamps.

A local author is fusing history lessons with ghost stories to create a fun and interesting way to learn Ohio history. Having already written two books in his “Ohio Kids” series and coming out with a third, he is continuing his family tradition of finding new ways of teaching.

Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President and CEO Beth Hammack May 07, 2026

Show notes

All eyes are on the economy — watching oil prices, grocery costs and inflation.

Nobody is watching it closer than the Federal Reserve, the body responsible for setting interest rates that affect everything from mortgages to car loans to business borrowing.

And the most recent Fed meeting was a doozy, as Fed meetings go: members kept interest rates steady, but one faction dissented and that included the president of the Federal Reserve of Cleveland.

Joining us today to talk about the economy, inflation and the role of the Fed is president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Beth Hammack.

Guests:

Beth Hammack, president/CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
