Our ambitious film project ran into the brick wall of Covid-19 and deaths in the family. Pete provides a quick update on what to expect here on the podcast feed between now and November.

From an East Cleveland childhood to Showtime at the Apollo, Desmond “Storm E” Jones and I talk poetry, photography and politics. Desmond calls himself a “frustrated democrat” who is concerned about the amount of misinformation and disenfranchisement he sees. Desmond feels that a strong anti-Obama sentiment turned out numbers in 2016, and that he’s worried that frustrated voters will simply choose to not vote at all. He’s looking for a candidate that is “not afraid to take the gloves off” and “go toe-to-toe with Trump.” Links: Desmond Jones on Showtime at the Apollo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvXO7YFNNdQ Storm E Weather (Poems) on CD Baby https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/desmond Desmond Jones on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/3LZMP2LwC4VOgTnpCLsvfK Eye of Storm Productions on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrStormE?fbclid=IwAR1r7H0d2Ejlokomkyx2slzpOzSoJ-B57VbpvHEi2f6r8ae-xuOCytq-l3o Email mailto:pete.brown@thisisohio2020.com Social Facebook https://www.facebook.com/thisisohio2020 Twitter https://www.twitter.com/thisisohio2020 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9TypVQoxGomhCFx0jGqMxQ?view_as=public Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thisisohio2020/?hl=en Connect with Pete Twitter https://www.twitter.com/petebrownsays Facebook https://www.facebook.com/petebrownsays LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterwardbrown/ Pete Brown Says podcast wherever you get your podcasts & at https://www.petebrownsays.com Portfolio https://wwww.petebrown.me Blue Monkey Films https://vimeo.com/bluemonkeyfilm Music Funkorama Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Hi! I’m Pete. I’m a middle-class father of two who lives in the comfortable ‘burbs of Central Ohio. Most of my life takes place within this suburban bubble, a fact that I’m never more aware of than when a Presidential election rolls around and Ohio is overrun with candidates and pundits all speaking about an electorate that I don't recognize. And I want to change that. This is Ohio 2020 is a both a podcast and a documentary film project chronicling my efforts to escape my bubble in the year leading up to the 2020 election, to meet and interview my fellow Buckeyes from all walks of life – especially those most different from my own. I want to hear your stories: how you grew up and came to be the person you are today. And I want to understand how those stories influence how you think politically. The portrait of the Buckeye electorate that we create is one that begins in the personal and leads to the political.
