Go behind the scenes of our March 2018 issue, featuring our Top List of Best New Restaurants. We chat with our dining critic Akshay Ahuja about how he compiled and ranked the list, what he wants to see and taste when he visits a restaurant, and his culinary influences. Then we have a portion of an interview our editor-in-chief John Fox did with Mayor John Cranley for a Q&A in the March issue about Cranley's second term in office. The interview features a discussion about the city's role in state politics.

Introducing a new podcast, powered by Cincinnati Magazine.
Podopolis is a very Porkopolis podcast hosted by Linsey Kraeling and Justin Williams, two very Cincinnati people.
Coming soon are bi-weekly episodes in which Linsey and Justin will discuss the latest news in Cincinnati the way you talk about it with your friends while tucking into a burger topped with tartar sauce, or digging into a plate of shredded cheese that probably has chili and noodles underneath, even if you can't see them. Plus, plenty of random, tangential, extemporaneous thoughts on everything from food, sports, and politics to the city's endless milieu. (There will likely be much dissecting of the west side.)
Episodes are available wherever you like to get podcasts. If you are already a faithful follower of the Cincinnati Magazine pod, that's great; the first few episodes of Podopolis will appear on this feed, but there is also a separate feed. Please subscribe, download, and email Apple/your congressperson/your mom to tell them how much you love it. And feel free to reach out to us at podopolis513@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you.

It's a crossover pod! Our March 2018 print issue featured a short Q&A with Beryl Love, executive editor of The Cincinnati Enquirer. This episode of our CM Conversations series features the full interview, including Love's thoughts on what it means to be the editor of a newspaper in 2018, the challenges of the industry, and the importance of local news.

Go behind the scenes of our February 2018 issue, including our cover package on how the criminal justice system works in Cincinnati. We discuss Amy Brownlee's feature on the Shakespeare Behind Bars program at a Kentucky prison, discuss the Otto Warmbier case with Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco, and play another round of "Better Know An Associate Editor" with Katie Coburn.

In a new episode of our CM Conversations series, we chat with Coran Stetter, creator and director of INHAILER, an online radio station. Stetter started INHAILER last year after the WNKU sale to fill the need for curated, independent, community radio that highlights local artists. He talks about being a musician in the Cincinnati scene, what it takes to start and staff a streaming radio platform, and the strange, hallucinogenic journey it took to get there.

We continue our CM Conversations series with Jake Treviño, the owner/operator/mogul behind Overlook Lodge, Video Archive, and the new Tokyo Kitty karaoke bar opening this Friday, Feb. 9 (with robot drink servers!). Treviño operates all three of these movie-inspired bars and various pop-up events under the Gorilla Cinemas banner. We chat about his love of movies, how he ended up in Cincinnati (and in the bar-owning business), and why his creativity never stops.

Kraeling tells us about her blog, Tour de Cincinnati, her recent move to Westwood, and her quest to drink 1,000 local craft beers. You can follow her on Twitter at @linsinnati.

Go behind the scenes of our December 2017 issue. We talk with Editor-in-Chief John Fox about our annual Best of the City cover package (and why a now-former FC Cincinnati player graces the cover); chat with freelance writer Lisa Murtha about her feature on Matthew 25: Ministries; and then your host explains why he wrote a story about an injured Bengals player, before hearing his discussion with rookie wide receiver John Ross from his suburban home. Basically, it's a crash course on how print deadlines can make magazine editors look stupid!

Go behind the scenes of our November 2017 issue. We welcome new Editor-in-Chief John Fox, and discuss our immigration cover package with him and writer Adam Flango, who penned a feature on undocumented immigrants living in the Cincinnati area.

We also chat with Jay Gilbert about his Living In Cin column on WEBN's 50th anniversary, his long tenure with the station, and whether radio can still have that type impact on a city. Plus, we tease out our new Cincinnati Magazine Politics podcast series, dropping later this week.

Here in Cincinnati—and America, really—we mark summer with an uptick in our hot dog consumption. The Queen City's past and present is practically a giant, continuous sausage link, hence our July coverage package exploring our current Golden Age of Hot Dogs. We peel back the casing on how the package came to be, and then discuss Justin Williams' feature on Sean McCarthy and his Cincinnati Strongman persona, as well as Philip Eil's tragic tail of a Portsmouth pill mill. Finally, we wish Adam Flango farewell.
Welcome to The Room Where It Happens. (I'm fairly confident that's a Hamilton reference.) Get more Broadway and Brooklyn insight from Adam Flango on his tears-and-avocado-toast-filled weekend in NYC, along with a seamless transition to our unrequited love of hot dogs, evidenced by our July issue coverage package. (Forgive us our inability to refrain from a few sophomoric jokes, as well.) We also dish on our weirdest reporting experiences—not nerdy ones, we promise!—and an in-depth discussion of Flango's recent piece on Hamilton County dog names. Also, I go on a 45-second rant about You've Got Mail.

In the June issue of Cincinnati Magazine, we offered 18 weekend getaways, one for each weekend of summer. In this episode, we look at a few of those destinations, including a small town in Indiana and an ocean-crossing voyage in Florida. We also talk to digital media editor Amy Brownlee about the joy of radio and go behind the scenes of Sarah Stankorb's story about rape on college campus.
The Reds weren't supposed to be good. They were barely supposed to be respectable. Yet more than a month into the season, the team has been hitting (quite literally) on all cylinders and actually winning baseball games. Sure, some of it seems like smoke and mirrors. But maybe, just maybe, these players are just better than we thought? Either way, the city doesn't exactly seem to be noticing.
On an unrelated note, we also look at the odd guests attending Dre Kirkpatrick's summer football camp.
Cincinnati is a different place when the lights go down. And no we aren't talking about bars and strip clubs. (Well, except one.) The city is filled with late night entertainment options that digital media editor Amy Brownlee curated into May's Cincinnati After Dark package. We talk to her about how she distinguished this package from others and what her takeaway was after visiting a longtime Newport institution. Plus: looking into stories about the complicated influx of Chinese students to Miami and setting the scene for the Mayoral primary.
Cincinnati as a burgeoning hub of creative, millenial minds was a laughable notion just 15 years ago. But while similar cities have experienced a brain drain, Cincinnati has avoided that pitfall and grown its creative class. That's the focus of April's feature package, and to get a better feel for how the city's creative class has evolved, we spoke with stylist, Haile Fellowship winner, and creative class OG Tamia Stinson about the evolution of Cincinnati's creative workforce. And while your commenting on our podcast, make sure to check out Stinson's podcast, Creative City.
Each year, a select few are responsible for evaluating the best restaurants in Cincinnati. This year, Alyssa Brandt was called up to the big leagues. We discuss the months-long process of eating and thinking about food, how it works, and what surprised her (like, say, eating ears?) along the way. After that, we look back at a uniquely Cincinnati story in February's issue about beloved and troubled chair maker Chester Cornet.
Jack Brennan has spent more than two decades as public relations director for the Cincinnati Bengals, and, ahead of his upcoming retirement, Justin Williams talked with him about covering the team versus being part of the organization, what it's like dealing with the many colorful Bengals personalities over the years, and Brennan delivers his spot on Mike Brown impersonation.
How do you write a story about a dog without it becoming an unrelenting sapfest in the same vein as A Dog's Purpose? We discuss that and more, including movie theater etiquette, Cincinnati's love of history, and personal blasts from the past. This episode was recorded live at the Overlook Lodge on January 23, 2017.
As the season came to a close with rousing win against the Ravens, the Bengals finished their disappointing season 6-9-1. It's time to take stock of what went wrong, what went right, and what's next for the team.
Bundled up in coats, hats, and mittens, we ventured out into the freezing temperatures at Paul Brown Stadium and took in the sights and sounds of the Bengals-Steelers game. The sights were a split crowd flicking off fans in Steelers gear, and the sounds were the guy two rows in front of us screaming to throw the ball downfield in order to draw a pass interference penalty. A report from Fulcher 2 Stay Bowl V
This podcast? Garbage. These hosts? Garbage. But most of all, Terrelle Pryor? Garbage. Adam Jones exists to enliven the Bengals otherwise moribund season, and he did that and more with his pointed commentary on the quality of play of one Terrelle Pryor. We talk about that and, because this podcast is nothing if not devoted to the cinematic exploits of Vin Diesel, we also spend more time than any Bengals podcast will discussing the latest Fast and Furious trailer.
Andy Dalton saw his opponent across the field. A fresh-faced rookie named Carson Wentz posed a threat to Dalton's title as the NFL's best ginger quarterback, one that he has proudly held since 2011. What ensued ostensibly pitted the Bengals against the Eagles in a game that didn't carry much meaning to two teams out of playoff contention, but for Dalton and Wentz, it meant everything.
We have topics related to the magazine to discuss, we swear. But we here at the Cincinnati Magazine podcast feel very strongly about Thanksgiving food. And since the teams that play sports in Cincinnati aren't particularly inspiring, we decided to focus on turkey, stuffing, and gravy instead. We also take a peak inside December's Best of the City issue.
The Bengals lost to the Giants on Monday night in spectacularly uninspiring fashion. They played it safe on fourth down (after plenty of unmanageable third downs), wilted against a weak rushing offense, and continued their trend of losing relatively close games. The Bengals are 3-5-1, and very possibly could lose against a run-heavy Buffalo team in Cincinnati on Sunday. And yet, optimism abounds at the Fulcher 2 Stay Podcast! (Eat your heart out, David O. Russell.) Not for this season of course; that's already just about gone to shit. But next year, it might not be as bad. (Repeat this to yourself 10 times in a row after each Tyrod Taylor touchdown this week.)
The Bengals have an annoying 3-4-1 record midway through the season, and the London game cemented the team's status as underwhelming at best. Yet amazingly, underwhelming may be just good enough to win the AFC North. We hand out midseason awards and superlatives, including MVP, player that causes the most consternation, and best couple. Plus, there's a special audio game at the end!
The Browns are very bad at football. This much is undeniable. The Bengals may not be bad at football, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are good at football either. The Bengals are a hard team to read, so we looked into what actually mattered in Sunday's 31-17 victory. For more on the Bengals, make sure to check out Fulcher 2 Stay at CincinnatiMagazine.com. And don't forget to subscribe/rate the podcast on iTunes.
The Bengals came into Foxborough underdogs lived up to the billing. Despite a first half that delivered some hope, the Bengals fell to the Patriots and now sit at 2-4. Is this the team we are going to be seeing for the remainder of the season? Or will the Bengals be able to turn things around in the two weeks they have before their bye? We discuss this and more, including the appeal of Rob Gronkowski and the lack of appeal of Landry Jones.
Ah, the relationship between the east side and west side of Cincinnati. It's something we've talked about on the podcast before, so we won't bore you with our thoughts on the subject again. Instead, we talk to people integral in making the October issue of the magazine happen, including representatives from each side of the tracks.
Maybe it was the nightlife in Dallas that distracted the Bengals players the night before last Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Or maybe they consumed an unreasonable amount of barbecue and suffered from a brisket-induced hangover. Either way, the Bengals looked terrible in their 28-14 loss to the Cowboys. Luckily only one of us (Justin) managed to watch the game, so the lucky one (Adam) only had the box score from which to gain insight. (You know, because there aren't other ways of consuming sporting events in 2016.) So we decided to try a new exercise: does the box score accurately reflect what happened on the field? Also, is all hope lost if the Bengals lose to the Patriots this week?
We've explored the relationship between the east side of Cincinnati and the west side of the city before, but in the October issue, we discovered that the two sides of town aren't quite as different as they seem. We discuss how the magazine executed its East vs. West package and also tell at least one (but probably more) embarrassing stories.
Week five was the week that things were supposed to turn around for the Bengals. Tyler Eifert was set to return against the Cowboys, and with him the Bengals red zone and rushing woes would be cured. Except that he is hurt again and now Justin is sad. But on the plus side, at least Andy Dalton isn't Ryan Tannehill! Also, make sure to check out our latest sponsor.
The Bengals dropped to 1-2 after losing their first home game of the season, and while it's not time to panic yet, there are some things worth discussing regarding the team's performance against the Fightin' Trevor Siemians. Associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams discuss the secondary's sloppy day, new father A.J. Green, and our mutual admiration of Fabletics.

The Bengals lost to the Steelers in a dreary, rain-soaked affair that is a pretty solid microcosm for Pittsburgh weather on any given day. (Seriously, the weather in Pittsburgh is secretly terrible, except for the approximately 12 days a year when it is the most beautiful place on earth.) The conditions played a factor in a sloppy game that confirmed some worries about the Bengals (run offense/defense) and allayed some fears (pass protection). But referee Pete Morelli's crew also played a factor, and who doesn't love complaining about blaming officials for a loss? All that, plus a defense of Marvin Lewis. Please feel free to review and rate the Fulcher 2 Stay Podcast on iTunes and check back every week for analysis of the Bengals.
Not to brag or anything, but we think the actual physical copy of our magazine looks pretty great. Others do too, as our designers have won multiple national awards over the years. But us lowly peons that attempt to write the most punny heds (that's magazine terminology for headlines, kids) and stories that aren't horrible offer essentially no help to the art department. So we sat down with our design director Megan Scherer to learn more about how her team puts together each issue, specifically September's money issue. How do you take a generic topic like money and localize the visuals? We discovered that and more.
Before that conversation, however, we went behind the scenes of the feature about the Griffin Family. The story is about brothers who (allegedly, lawyers) screwed their sisters out of a family fortune that was made in the rendering industry. How do you put a piece together about a family struggle when the family doesn't want to speak with you? And how do you organize a piece with such a convoluted chronology?

Another year, another 16-course sampler platter before the main entree of postseason disappointment is served to sad fans of the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals defeated the Jets on the NFL's first Sunday of the season in a game that showed Andy Dalton can be good without a full arsenal of weapons. He may have gotten eaten alive by a Jets defensive line in the process, but for a man that has been accused before of not handling pressure too well in the past, Dalton didn't let the relentless pass rush upset his timing. We recap the good and bad from the win before looking ahead to the 4th edition of the Fulcher 2 Stay Podcast Bowl: Steelers vs. Bengals.
On August 17, we set out to ask Reds fans attending that night's game against the Marlins why they were choosing to attend the game. The Reds are not particularly good at playing baseball, though, as one fan pointed out to us, the team has performed better in the second half of the season. But on an overcast weekday game against the Marlins, one that was without any special giveaway or fireworks display, is that really enough to draw people to a game? Our search for that answer took us on a visionquest that included rejection, Ichiro, and the dining habits of Cate Blanchett.

For the last three-plus months, the internet has been captivated by Harambe, the gorilla killed at the Cincinnati Zoo after a child climbed into his enclosure. It's morphed into something that defies logic and reasoning. Last Sunday, someone ran onto the field at Fenway Park in Boston wearing a customized jersey with Harambe on the back. At political conventions, people held up Harambe signs during newscasts. A Harambe tribute song has more than 3.7 million views on YouTube. We here at the magazine have waited long enough to broach the subject, so we take a sho—er, stab at understanding the global fascination with Harambe. And as if that wasn't good enough, that is followed by perhaps the best John Travolta story that you have ever heard. This episode was recorded live at The Overlook Lodge on August 29, 2016.
For some people, the spelling bee they won in second grade was a crowning achievement. Others may have won a little league championship or conducting some sort of exploding volcano experiment that garnered a first place ribbon. We here at Cincinnati Magazine ate Pop-Tarts. The breakfast pastry of champions was a critical component of our childhood, adolescence, and now adulthood, so we were astonished upon discovering Fat Ben's version of pop-tarts. Now of course they aren't called Pop-Tarts (so please don't sue, Kellogg's) but they evoke a certain childhood nostalgia and ramp up the quality. So yes, this is a podcast devoted in large part to two grown adults discussing their mutual appreciation of Pop-Tarts, but it also involves those same grown adults admitting to their own incompetency in growing plants at home and competing in Olympic events. Come to think of it, maybe if we had never eaten Pop-Tarts in the first place, we could have been race walking champions after all...

There's a difference between cover bands and tribute bands. Tribute bands are lame. Seeing them impersonate an actual band is strange and off-putting. But cover bands are wonderful and deserve praise. They play the hits and the crowd loves it. For the July issue, Lisa Murtha wrote an oral history of the Rusty Griswolds, Cincinnati's preeminent '80s cover band, and we talked with her about the story. Then we discussed Erick Trickey's story on Republican bronze medalist John Kasich and examine his persona as both Ohio governor and one-time presidential candidate. (We swear there is as little Trump as possible.) While you're enjoying the podcast, please take some time to rate the podcast on iTunes and review it too. We always hear other podcasts talking about how important that is, so we thought we'd give it a go.
It takes a gentleman and a scholar, someone with a dedication to his craft, to watch, analyze, and engage with the 2016 Cincinnati Reds. We know because each time we scroll past Fox Sports on the television, the muscles connecting to our thumb tense up in a sort of self-preservation/defense mechanism designed to prevent us from viewing something upsetting. So we turn to Grant Freking, who has managed to yet again find a light in the darkness in one Cody Reed. But before that, we revel in the clubhouse shenanigans of Tyler Holt.

Each month, we go behind the scenes of the latest issue of Cincinnati Magazine and learn about the stories behind the stories. This month, we may have tripled down on the concept by looking at Pete Rose and summer getaways in previous podcasts. But now, we're talking caves with Cait Barnett, who ventured to Mammoth Cave in southern Kentucky to discover the wonder of stalagmites and cave bacon. Then, we discuss the different kinds of musical artists playing in Cincinnati in June. To read about the stories discussed in the podcast, visit CincinnatiMagazine.com
Fear not: we don't really talk about how bad the Reds are this season. That's no fun. Instead, we have a spelling bee! But before that, we go more in-depth on Pete Rose. There are things we learned when planning the June package about Rose that were surprising in a number of different ways, and the interview with him yielded some insight into how Pete's mind works. For more coverage of the Reds and to read stories discussed in this article, visit CincinnatiMagazine.com
In their monthly podcast at the Overlook Lodge in Pleasant Ridge, associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams talk about the deceptive outdoorsy-ness of Cincinnati and what places they enjoy adventuring to come summer time. After that, they meet a new friend, listen to Pete Rose singing during an Aqua Velva commercial, and discuss the burgeoning Cincinnati music scene ahead of Bunbury in June.

Cocktail sorceress Molly Wellmann knows her way around a bar. She's led Cincinnati's burgeoning craft bar scene with style. In this episode of the Cincinnati Magazine Podcast, we go inside the May issue of the magazine and discuss how we determined which bars made the cut. Then we talk with Wellmann about her bar habits, what makes a good customer (hint: it's not that hard), and how she operates. We also go inside Justin Williams's journey to Costa Rica with the Morgans, Ohio's first family of paddle sports. Subscribe and rate the podcast on iTunes if you're feeling kind.
In May, Cincinnati Magazine looked at where to drink now. It's a compilation of watering holes that range from dimly light dives to classy cocktail joints to brotastic sports bars. In doing their proper due diligence (so, basically, drinking), associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams discovered just how much their bar preferences have changed since they were 21-year-olds. They discuss the transition into adult drinking, followed by a range of magazine-related topics, including: whether or not Cincinnati is a kind city, the rapid rise of FC Cincinnati, and different strategies when it comes to grocery shopping. This podcast was recorded live on April 25 at The Overlook Lodge in Pleasant Ridge.

In the first Nuxhall Way podcast of what is sure to be a long season for Reds fans, associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams take stock of the first two weeks of the season for the Reds. Raisel Iglesias and Brandon Finnegan look promising, Eugenio Suarez is mashing, and Devin Mesoraco is ailing, but early season optimism has been squashed by a crushing sweep in Chicago this week. We talk about how the healthy ways for Reds fans to approach this season. Subscribe and rate/review the podcast on iTunes if you're feeling kind.
The feature package in our April issue began with a question: just how Catholic is Cincinnati? The city has numerous Catholic institutions that make Cincinnati seem very Catholic. But as we discovered and discuss on the podcast, the answer isn't so simple. We also talk about how religion in the city is changing before talking about Justin's feature on the controversial Gladstone Community Church. Then, we talk with associate managing editor Alyssa Konermann about her examination of the fictional marketing creation known as Blaise Bender. Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes and feel free to give us a rating and review, assuming you don't think the podcast is garbage.
The Reds are not going to be very good at baseball this year. Vegas has their expected season win total set at 71, which actually seems optimistic given the fact that any member of the opening day rotation could walk down the street without even so much as a second glance from diehard Reds fans. Still, Opening Day is a unique Cincinnati spectacle and even when the team is lousy, going to GABP on a warm summer evening can still be a good time. We talk about the upcoming baseball season, our burger preferences, meet a new friend, and also touch on the April feature package, which asks this question: just how Catholic is Cincinnati?
This episode was recorded live at the Overlook Lodge in Pleasant Ridge on Monday, March 28. To attend our next live recording, stop by the Overlook Lodge again on Monday, April 25 at 7 pm. And don't forget to give us a kind rating and review on iTunes.
When Jean-Robert de Cavel arrived in Cincinnati 22 years ago, the dining scene was remarkably different than it is today. From working at the dearly departed Maisonette to opening his own restaurants, de Cavel has had a front row seat to the city's food transformation. We sat down with him at his restaurant, Jean-Robert's Table, and talked about his experience in Cincinnati. Later, we sat down with dining critic Jeff Mathews to talk about when he started thinking critically about food and why a Chinese buffet is the perfect last meal.

In Cincinnati Magazine's first-ever live podcast, Adam and Justin meet new friends, discuss the cultural importance of the chili parlor, and ask trivia questions about movies that are already old news. This episode was recorded live at the Overlook Lodge in Pleasant Ridge on February 29, so please excuse all the outdated references.
In a city with a rapidly growing culinary scene, how exactly do you decide which restaurants to rank in the top 10? We talked with dining editor Joanne Drilling about the machinations behind selecting where to eat in Cincinnati. Before that, we talk about Justin's story on the dominant UC Dance Team and assess our own dance skills. (Spoiler: we've got moves for days.) And make sure to check out a live recording of the podcast at the Overlook Lodge in Pleasant Ridge on Monday, February 29 at 7 pm.
For this month's issue, digital editor Amy Brownlee searched the city for poutine in all its different shapes and sizes, with her Canadian husband Tim being the judge of poutine authenticity. Since Tim has a lifetime's worth of experience being Canadian, associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams decided to sit down over a meal of poutine and discuss the finer points of the Canadian delicacy and ascertain its place within the country's culinary landscape.
The February issue of Cincinnati Magazine is filled with 51 items located throughout the region that you may have overlooked. We talk with director of editorial operations Amanda Boyd Walters about how she helped curate the list of Hidden Cincy items and discussed what hidden finds we were particularly surprised by. But before that, we talk about the story behind the story of Prince Sammons and his journey to America.
The Bengals have made losing in the playoffs an art form, but not some ornate 17th century piece on display at the Louvre. It's more like Andy Warhol's famed "Piss Paintings" where the artist actually urinated on canvas and called it art. In just about the most soul-crushing way possible, the Bengals failed to win a playoff game yet again. Associate editors Justin Williams and Adam Flango relive the moments through the eyes of morose Bengals fans (including a special guest!) and a happy Steelers fan. We understand that this is the last podcast you want to hear, but we gave it to you anyway, so use this to pod to soak in your tears.
It was always meant to happen this way. The Bengals face the Steelers for a third time this season, with ghosts of playoffs past lingering in the shadows. Cincinnati and its fans are trying to exorcise the demons of 10 years ago, and the Steelers are attempting to play spoiler yet again. Needless, to say, we here at the Fulcher 2 Stay podcast are conflicted. So listen to this week's episodes for thoughts on A.J. McCarron's confidence, Antwon Blake's incompetence, and a grand theory about Andy Dalton. Email thoughts and feelings to fulcher2stay@gmail.com.
So it turns out A.J. McCarron may not actually be headed to the Hall of Fame. The Bengals lost to the Broncos on Monday Night Football, putting their hopes of securing a first round bye in a rather precarious position. Are the Bengals resigned to yet another year of the narrative that they can't win in the playoffs? Because if so, we here at the Fulcher 2 Stay podcast are not excited about it, for very different reasons. Send your feelings on Keith Wenning to fulcher2stay@gmail.com
In a game that sullied the exciting reputation of paint drying, the Bengals emerged victorious in San Francisco, setting up a pivotal matchup with the Broncos this Monday. The real question though is just how good is AJ McCarron? He's already proven to be better than Andy Dalton (undefeated as a starter) and looks to be on the same trajectory as the likes of Elway, Montana, Brady, and Manning. But is it possible that comparison is an insult to McCarron? Yes, it certainly is. Email your thoughts on whether or not the Hall of Fame should waive the five-year waiting period and induct A.J. McCarron while he's still active at fulcher2stay@gmail.com
Our script for the movie about the Super Bowl run for the 2015 Cincinnati Bengals has taken a dramatic turn. With one swift thumb to the knee/thigh region, the Bengals dramatically damaged what was one of the most promising seasons in team history. In the episode, we pick up the pieces following Andy Dalton's injury and assess what the future holds for a Bengals team that now features three prominent players named A.J. Email your sob story to fulcher2stay@gmail.com
The Bengals destroying the Browns is hardly worth discussing, so this we discuss the likelihood that Andy Dalton's optimal mode of seduction is acoustic guitar, the love lives of Tyler Eifert and Kevin Huber, and predict the result of this weekend's clash against the Steelers. For more Bengals coverage, visit cincinnatimagazine.com/fulcher2stay
Rather than focusing on another boring Bengals win, we here at Fulcher 2 Stay decide to take a look at a few interesting numbers that help explain the Bengals run to 9-2. Then Justin talks with Jim Owczarski about injury luck, Tyler Eifert's historic season, and the eternal quest to interview Geno.

As we discussed in last week's Fulcher 2 Stay Podcast, the Bengals rarely lose when Andy Dalton plays well. Well, Sunday night's loss to the Cardinals proved to be one of the rare instances where Dalton's solid play didn't translate into a win. The fickle thing is, had the team not shit the bed against Texans, this loss would have been perfectly acceptable and maybe even respectable considering the competition. As it were, some panic has set in among this tortured fanbase, but we here at the Fulcher 2 Stay Podcast are staying calm.
The 2015 Cincinnati Bengals have finally joined the ranks of the defeated. After a 10-6 loss to the Houston Texans and noted Bengals slayer T.J. Yaters, a loss that recalled nightmares of the Bad Andy Dalton from years past, associate editors Justin Williams and Adam Flango look at what exactly went wrong. But more importantly, they analyze the greatest postgame war of words in NFL history.
Another routine win has put the Bengals at 8-0, halfway to the undefeated season that the Mayans predicted eons ago. Associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams touch briefly on the victory against the Browns, but also predict outcome for the remaining eight games. All the while, they contemplate the role of the quarterback guru. Send Bengals thoughts to fulcher2stay@gmail.com
It took seven weeks, but the Bengals finally played a pretty bad football game. Andy Dalton fell back into old, intercept-y habits, penalties cost the team valuable yards, and sure scoring chances were squandered. But the end of the narrative was unfamiliar: the Bengals won. That it came against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the only other team in the division within shouting distance of first place, made it even better. Justin Williams and Adam Flango look at just how the Bengals managed to find a win in an ugly, sloppy game. Email the guys with any questions or comments at fulcher2stay@gmail.com
With the Bengals on a bye last week, we here at Fulcher 2 Stay thought it would make the most sense to capitalize on the inevitable Super Bowl run by the Bengals and cast the movie that will most certainly be made about this year's team. So we called up our old friend Justin Lin, signed him up as director, and took casting upon ourselves. Email your casting thoughts to fulcher2stay@gmail.com and we'll take them up with Justin.

Heading into their bye week, the Cincinnati Bengals are tied for the best start in team history with a 6-0 record. Now, the team hasn't played many particularly exciting games over that stretch, but maybe that's a good thing for Marvin Lewis and his army of clones. Associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams talk about the win over the Bills, Andy Dalton's historic pace, and nakedness in the locker room. The guys are also joined by Beyond the Stripes co-host Lindsay Patterson.

Through three quarters, the Bengals looked destined to lose yet another important game, despite competency from the usual culprits. But a stirring performance by the pass rush led a comeback win against the Seahawks, keeping Cincinnati's (almost certainly) perfect season in tact. Associate editors Justin Williams and Adam Flango break down how the Bengals won the game and talk with defensive end Carlos Dunlap about the win. Email the guys at fulcher2stay@gmail.com
Another week, another convincing Bengals victory. The team is 4-0 and at the top of an underwhelming conference. But with the Seahawks coming into town, the Bengals will face their stiffest test of the season. Associate editors Adam Flango and Justin Williams discuss nerves, confidence in Andy Dalton, and whether it's already time to be looking to the playoffs. Email the guys with any thoughts, feelings, and questions at fulcher2stay@gmail.com.
After Andy Dalton's burst of competence against the Ravens, Adam Flango and Justin Williams wonder if this time, at long last, Andy Dalton has turned a corner. Also, A.J. Green is still good—the linebacking corps not so much—and there's a discussion about hairbrushes. Send any questions to the guys via Twitter with #F2S or email them to Fulcher2Stay@gmail.com
After two weeks and two wins, the Bengals have begun planning a Super Bowl parade down Vine Street. But they still have 14 more games to play, so with that in mind, we take a look at what has gone right early on and what needs to happen for the team to stay atop the division. In the absence of Justin Williams, this week we're joined by CBSsports.com senior NFL columnist Pete Prisco.

The Bengals destroyed the Raiders in Oakland in Week 1 of the NFL season, which means that the team will certainly go undefeated and hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the year. Or something close to that. Adam Flango and Justin Williams look at the positives and manage to find a few negatives from the 33-13 win. Any questions, thoughts, or feelings, share them using #F2S.
Fulcher 2 Stay was a seminal play call in the NFL. It is the basis of the modern day zone blitz, a scheme prevalent throughout the league. And the man that made it happen was former Bengals safety David Fulcher. We spoke with him about the play call that inspired the name and even got his thoughts on this upcoming season. But before that, we discuss the living legacy of Marvin Lewis and how the Bengals might fare this season. Stay tuned each week for a new episode and use the hashtag #F2S to connect with us throughout the season.
Though there may still be a month left in the season, Cincinnati Magazine associate editors Justin Williams and Adam Flango thought that it was about time to eulogize the 2015 Cincinnati Reds. They try to find silver linings in Joey Votto's spectacular season and a few bright young players, but inevitably end up bummed that the team stinks.

The small fracas between the Reds and Pirates got us thinking: who would win if there was an actual fight between the two teams?
