On the sports front, Caitlin Clark's impressive WNBA salary underscores growing recognition and remuneration in women's sports, highlighted by a supportive tweet from President Biden.

There’s a unique kind of insight that only comes from having stood on the ballot yourself. Diemer & DiBello brings together two people who’ve done exactly that-Matthew Diemer, who ran for Congress, and his co-host, a former candidate for Mayor of Cleveland. Their conversations move seamlessly between the high-stakes theater of national politics and the grounded, gritty realities of life in Ohio, offering a perspective that’s less from the press gallery and more from behind the curtain. Each episode feels like a candid, sometimes humorous, and always substantive debrief between two insiders who understand the weight of decisions made in city hall and the Capitol. You’ll hear them parse the news not just as commentators, but as individuals who have personally navigated the pressures of campaigns and public scrutiny. This podcast digs into how policy and culture collide, sharing personal reflections and journal-like observations on society that you won’t find in standard news coverage. It’s a blend of the immediate and the intimate, making sense of the headlines through the lens of direct experience. For anyone curious about the human side of politics and the local stories that shape our broader national conversations, this is a compelling listen.
