Guest 1: Connie Schultz, columnist for The Plain Dealer and author of …and His Lovely Wife: A Memoir from the Woman Beside the Man. Not long after winning a Pulitzer Prize for her Plain Dealer column, Schultz took a sabbatical to help her husband Sherrod Brown win election to the U.S. Senate. Suddenly an opinionated columnist found herself in the shadows as her husband stumped for votes. She’ll discuss with Mr. Feagler the decision to put her newspaper career on hold for the man she loves and the sometimes-exasperating, often-humorous life on the hustings in Ohio.
Guest 2: Russell Schneider, author, Whatever Happened to Super Joe? Cleveland Indians teams of the 60s, 70s and 80s were some of the most inept of the modern era of professional baseball. They were able to crack the .500 mark just three times, yet Indians fans have fond memories of many players who wore the Indians uniform during these decades of despair. Names such as Mudcat Grant, Ron Hassey and Joe Charbonneau are seldom mentioned at Cooperstown but they still evoke memories of warm summer evenings at the old Municipal Stadium. Schneider remembers their major league careers and brings us up to date on what they doing now.
