Learning heat resilience during extreme temperatures Jul 23, 2026

Show notes

The dog days of summer are upon us. But it seems this year that summer heat has more of a bite. Extreme temperatures are changing everything from work, sleep, sports, and summer camps.

There are ways communities can deal with extreme heat, but it takes a systemic approach. In this hour of All Sides, learn about heat resilience and what it takes to build heat-resilient communities.

Plus, what does heat do to the body – how it affects the young, the old, and the in between. And what about those who work under the hot summer sun or in sweltering factories, are there legal workplace protections?

Dr. Stephen Auciello, program director at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program

Keep Them Safe Act lets Ohioans store guns during mental health emergencies Jul 22, 2026

Show notes

Senate Bill 273, or the “Keep Them Safe Act,” has been one of the few gun policies that received unanimous support from both the Ohio House and Senate.

Gov. Mike DeWine signed it into law on June 18. The bill allows a person struggling with suicidal thoughts or other mental health emergencies to temporarily store their firearms with federally registered gun dealers or law enforcement officers. The hope is that by separating a struggling person with their weapon, suicide will decrease.

Many people are concerned with robots replacing human jobs, but what about robots enhancing existing jobs?

Surgical robots are allowing surgeons to accomplish non-invasive surgeries that otherwise would have called for giant incisions, delaying recovery time.

Ohio's Haitian community after the end of TPS Jul 16, 2026

Show notes

The United Supreme Court ruled on June 25 that the Trump administration was allowed to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of more than 300,000 Haitians in the United States.

Recently, the work permits for Haitians with TPS were extended to July 24, while lower courts fully implement the Supreme Court ruling.

There are between 10,000 and 15,000 Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, which is a significant portion of the city’s overall population of about 60,000.

The Haitian Community Network in Columbus estimates there are about 30,000 Haitians in Columbus with about 18,000 of them here on TPS.

We will discuss what the impending July 24 date means for Haitians in Springfield and in Columbus and their employers.

The history of the Columbus music scene Jul 15, 2026

The history of the Columbus music scene runs far and deep.

Jazz and swing took over Columbus streets in the 1920s, followed by rock, soul and swing, in the 60s, ending the 20^thcentury with punk, indie and rock.

Now in 2026, you can find almost every genre and instrument being played in Columbus.

Columbus was the starting point for many successful musicians such as jazz artist Rahsaan Roland Kirk, duo Twenty-One Pilots and country band Rascal Flatts.

Now, it is a place that is nurturing new musicians that are hoping to one day make it big like their fellow Buckeye stars.

Today, we will hear about all sides of the Columbus music industry, from venues to nonprofit organizations that make music possible for many.

The future of the US Postal Service Jul 15, 2026

Show notes

The United States Postal Service, in the words of the postmaster general, is out of money.

The federal independent agency generally relies on no tax money, and is largely funded by stamps, packages and other sales.

It’s once again staring at a $1 billion shortage. The forever stamp now costs 82 cents, but who’s writing and mailing letters anymore.

Now there’s a political battle over its future, and the use of mail-in ballots.

Has the postal service, with its rich history, outlived its mission?

We're talking about the future of the postal service on this hour of All Sides.

Guests:

Esther Fung, reporter, The Wall Street Journal
Aileen Day, co-host, People of Agency podcast
