#1: Welcome To Bellwether - The 2016 Presidential Primary in Ohio

A show looking to tell stories that ask or answer the following about communities: Where are they a leading example of things done right? What should they change to be a leading example for others moving forward? Where are they a leading indicator for social, political, and lifestyle trends? It's producers and many of it's stories hail from the midwestern gem that is Cincinnati, Ohio, but the show is definitely not just for citizens of the Queen City. While looking for bellwether trends in their own communities, these stories are often a microcosm for our wider culture.
