050: On the Mindset of Candidates, and the Local Media Landscape: The 812 Digest for the Week of March 19
Mar 25, 2024 Season 1 Episode 50
Steve Volan / Plateia Media

On this Digest episode we look back at people whom we've interviewed to explore how they became candidates. We'll hear segments from former fire chief Jason Moore and now-city councilmember Courtney Daily about their origin stories, and a longer look at how Jonas Schrodt, who ran last year for an at-large seat and whom we interviewed last week, found his hat thrown into the ring.

In the second half, we'll hear an excerpt from our interview with Mike Leonard, the city's last preeminent opinion columnist, and his assessment of the decline of his former employer, the Herald-Times daily newspaper. Finally, I'll share a personal reminiscence of Peter LoPilato, the late publisher of The Ryder Magazine and purveyor of The Ryder Film Series, which showed well-curated arthouse movies at venues all over the city.
