WVIZ/PBS ideastream®: Ideas
Ideas is a series of special one-hour programs produced and presented by WVIZ/PBS ideastream®. Topics for each episode are guided by ideastream’s “Listening Project,” a series of surveys, town hall meetings and other community-focused activities. Subjects such as education, the economy and jobs, the environment, economic development, civic affairs, and health and human services are prominently featured. Each Ideas episode also serves as the keystone for a compilation of related programming on 90.3 WCPN, WVIZ/PBS and content on ideastream websites. The goal of this program series is to focus audience attention on an issue or topic of broad community interest. These stories, segments, and entire programs are distinguished by their depth and quality of journalism and the creative storytelling ideastream audiences have come to expect and appreciate.

The Milan of the Midwest
Scholastic experts are pitching a plan to corporate and political leaders that they say could make Cleveland the "Milan of the Midwest." The idea is to link assets that make up the elements of the booming consumer design industry, with national showrooms making the revitalized Euclid Avenue their new address, while related clusters of producers, designers, marketers and researchers would spin off jobs and innovation. In studio to talk about the Design District concept will be urban economist Ned Hill of Cleveland State University, Dan Cuffaro, the chairman of the industrial design department at the Cleveland Institute of Art, and Chip Nowachek of the Victor Schreckengost Foundation - which has agreed to be an anchor tenant of the headquarters building.

Robert Lockwood, Jr. Tribute
Robert Lockwood. Jr. was once quoted as saying, "I play for myself. Some people say that's selfish, but who else is going to know if I'm playing well?" And he has a point. Who else could judge his playing? The consummate blues man died Tuesday in Cleveland at the age of 91. Ideas looks at the life he lead before coming here more than 45 years ago, the impact he had on the music scene in our city, and even the oddity of how his name changed throughout the years he lived here.
