Welcome to In Your Area, a podcast about news stories from around the country that aren't getting the national attention they deserve.

With your host, Adam Todd Brown.

Thank you. Oh, hey everybody. Welcome to yet another episode of In Your Area, a podcast about local news happening in your area, like the Black Pink song says. I'm your host, Adam Todd Brown, joining me as guest co-host this week. A Tiff Myers is here. What's up, everybody? Good. Sorry, tramp it all over your intro of me. What's up? Fire it up. I mean, it wasn't like a well scripted out intro or anything.

We're just, we're riffing.

We're riffing.

That's what we do here.

Is that what we do?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, we don't, we don't, we actually don't script our podcasts out.

I guess there was some thought that maybe we did at one point, which there's no harm in scripting a podcast, but

did they? Jesus, imagine listening to this and thinking, yeah, that's a script. Oh, fuck. I would be so

embarrassed to write a script that includes things like me being like, I don't know. Is the governor of

Michigan a Democrat or a Republican? Like, if I was scripting shit out, I'm not going to write that.

I would just look that up and clarify and put it in the script.

Also, yeah, if you're scripting out, then you're just making me sound dumb.

I don't know about this.

Where's Ohio?

You just make me fucking sound so stupid.

I do script the solo pods and I am thinking of launching a pod that's going to be a little more scripted coming up.

But hey, for now, Lucy Goosey baby talking about the local news.

This first story isn't completely local.
