Episode 3: Dayton, Ohio (w/Mayor Nan Whaley)

11/23/21 • 58 min

4 Listeners

Dayton is most recognizable for being the home of aviation pioneers, the Wright brothers, but did you know that it is also the home of the first-ever NFL game, the longest professional sports sellout streak in the world, and host of more NCAA tournament games than any other city? We speak with Dayton's mayor and candidate for governor of Ohio, Nan Whaley, about the incredible sports history and environment of this midwestern town, and how minor league baseball led to a revitalization of the city's downtown.

When you think of Montreal sports, you probably think of hockey and Stanley Cup championships. This is for good reason, but the intersection of politics and sports in this Quebec city is far more complex than you might've guessed. Journalist and commentator Dave Kaufman joins us to discuss how hockey changed the way forward for French Canadians, as well as the history (and future?) of baseball in Montreal.
