The Sound of Ideas Community Tour brought the show off land and onto the Cuyahoga River aboard the Goodtime III. During the afternoon cruise, we had a community discussion about Northeast Ohio's 50 years of environmental progress since the infamous Cuyahoga River fire back in 1969. Host Mike McIntyre spoke with a panel of experts and took questions and comments from the audience throughout the show.
