Jaci Fox
Jaci Fox burst onto the Cleveland radio scene in 2010, is an OCB alumni, and was honored with the Nev Chandler Excellence in Broadcasting award.
Jaci is a theater brat turned broadcaster, (but not before snagging a couple of local acting awards). Since, she’s produced both on-air and off, hosted, cohosted, and also worked in commercial production.
A rescue volunteer and animal advocate for nearly 30 years, Jaci has rehabilitated, trained and re-homed many homeless four legged fuzzy members of our community.
She’s Cleveland native, and thrilled to be back in her hometown, and to put it simply, loves our city.
Amazon Prime's Citadel, produced by Cleveland's own Russo Brothers, Joe & Anthony (Avengers: End Game, Cherry, Captain America: Civil War and Winter Soldier), seemingly has the makings of a super extended action film on their hands wrapped up as a TV series with big names, but, does it actually measure up? Aside from the famous brothers producing, the big names starring are Richard Madden (Game Of Thrones, The Eternals), Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico, Baywatch), and Stanley Tucci (Inside Man, The Devil Wears Prada). Now, this doesn't mean it'll be great - we've all been burned in the past with shows that SHOULD…
The history goes waaaaay back on this one - all the way back to the year 220 BCE. Yikes. People have been mixing wine since the beginning of time - literally. To be fair, for a long time, fresh water that was safe to drink was not readily available, so if it weren't for wine and beer, humanity may not have made it. That said, is there anything more refreshing on a summer day than an ice cold glass of happy, plus fruit and more booze? I think not!! What's great, is there aren't really any rules with sangria -…
This week, I took a look at The Crowded Room on Apple TV+ as it's the number 3 show, plus, it stars Tom Holland in a role that isn't like Spiderman without the suit, plus it also stars Amanda Seyfried, so this is going to be great! Right? Right?!? Now I've read reviews and heard people rave about the show on social, but, my jury is out on this and it's not just because I fell asleep almost immediately, (to be fair, I did have a crazy weekend). That said, I rewatched it - and it still has me unsure,…

That's What She Drank: The Grilled Peach Bourbon Smash
Written by Jaci Fox
Is there any better season than grill season? (For die-hard grill enthusiasts, EVERY season is grill season). It's like we are our own little club, kinda like the wearing shorts when it's 40 degrees club, or the white socks with sandals club, there's club for people who grill year round in a snow belt region, and most of us in this club prefer charcoal to propane for flavor, because why make grilling easier in a snowstorm? I admit that I have boundaries and draw the line at grilling in sub zero temps. But, as to what I grill? No limits there! I've made…

Welcome Home Wednesday Double Take: Lilo & Stitch!!
Written by Jaci Fox
The only thing better than adopting one dog? Adopting two! Even better when those two dogs are well mannered already trained, and get along swimmingly! So let me introduce you to bonded pair Lilo & Stitch from the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter. Lilo, is a 12 year old shepherd mix with the brains, and Stitch, a 9 year old sheltie mix who is all heart - Both are very well mannered, and Lilo even shares her treats with Stitch. (I’m not even that well behaved). If you can’t adopt Lilo & Stitch, please pass on their information, and remember, volunteers,…

Peacock's Based On A True Story, is the show we're focusing on starring Kaley Cuoco, Chris Messina and Tom Bateman. The storyline is described as, "A realtor, a former tennis star, and a plumber seize a unique opportunity to capitalize on America's obsession with true crime." We really are pretty obsessed with true crime, and this show is a super fun take on that obsession. It's full of ridiculously dark humor, and how negotiations with a serial killer can go south really fast. Chris Messina absolutle nails his role, and is chillingly convincing. I give it a thumbs up and…

That's What She Drank: The Mimosa! (But Let's Mix It Up!)
Written by Jaci Fox
Wedding season is upon us and is about to peak before slowing a bit until the fall, and there are certain wedding cocktail staples, not necessarily for the reception, (unless it happens to be a brunch), but definitely for the wedding party and couple. I'm talking about the good 'ol mimosa, especially for game day. Low standards on this classic have always made me cringe. When working in salon/spas and even when I was a bridesmaid, the worst thing in my line of vision when bridal parties filtered in, bleary eyed in their matching garb identifying who they are in…

The lovely lady we want you to meet this week is Kelly! When she arrived to the shelter, she wasn't in the best of shape, and had to have a tumor removed, but after, voila! She was a brand new pup! A 7 year old chocolate spaniel/retriever mix, she is a barrel of sass, and quickly became a shelter favorite, who just might be working on her degree as a professional couch potato. Despite her sass, she is very well mannered and quiet, except for the occasional snore... even better though, she is DTC, (down to cuddle). She was diagnosed…

That's What She Watched: Succession is Over. Now What?
Written by Jaci Fox
Succession is officially over. Now what?! We just got through our first Sunday without a new episode or expectations of another season - the shows Max suggested for me to check out were shows I’d already seen, and all of those three I recommend: Barry, The White Lotus and The Other Two. The one I hadn't seen, Industry - looked promising, so I checked it out. Um, no. Not going to do the trick at all. Industry with its intern program and promise to let go of half of them by the end of the program in a high pressure…

That's What She Drank: Is Your Ice Ruining Your Cocktails?
Written by Jaci Fox
Okay, so I'm not actually covering alcohol this week, but I am talking about something essential when it comes to mixed drinks, (and more), and that's ice! Especially with the hot temps being right on board with the unofficial kickoff of summer this week. Some areas are enjoying the hospitality of Ohio's Mother Nature treating them to temps reaching into the 90's. What is Ohio's Mother Nature's deal anyway? What does she have against a normal spring? Does she want the Guardians to do better? Is she as upset about the Browns as everyone else? If that's the case, take…
