Taverns came early to Columbus, refreshing settlers and travelers as far back as the 1790s. Tom Betti and Doreen Uhas Sauer, from Columbus Landmarks Foundation, go barhopping through some of the historic public houses from the frontier era through Prohibition. Along the way, the stories of historic taverns in Columbus include Native American captivity stories, live bears, German "vinegar" brewers, Catholic Masses set against the backdrop of a tavern, cholera, typhoid, land speculation and political dealings, underground tunnels, a scandalous divorce and even a bordello (imagine that). Columbus has a lot of tavern history. Drink it in.

All Sides with Ann Fisher on WOSU

Have you ever sat through a long powerpoint where the speaker is just reading what's on the screen? Boring, right? No matter if you are trying to sell a product to a consumer, an idea to a policy maker or a new concept to employees, it's the story and how you tell it that generates buy-in. It's the STORY that SELLS! A good storyteller engages the audience's imagination through creativity, teaching history, promoting a brand/product or motivating a team to do better. Endless possibilities! 

Creative & Engaging Storytelling

Staying on message while being interviewed on the air is an art and requires practice and strategy. Many people are nervously paralyzed, wear the wrong clothes, say the wrong things, sit the wrong way or are way off message. It's important to have experience and be trained how to be interviewed. You are in control of the interview, not the reporter. Also, thinking outside the box and using common sense in crisis communication mode are essential in successful media relations and damage control.
