Monday on the Sound of Ideas, we're going to walk through the pages of some new books with local authors. We'll learn about places to go and things to see in Cleveland's neighborhoods through the eyes of newcomers, explore local history, including the constabulary force assembled to protect the North coast from a Canadian invasion, and we'll witness local stories of truth and hope through photographs. Join host Mike McIntyre Monday at 9 on 90.3.

Some Ohio legislators think so. We'll talk about the debate over drug testing this week on the Reporters' Roundtable. We'll also discuss new developments in Ohio's fracking industry. The Horseshoe Casino opens in downtown Cleveland. And Dennis Kucinich looks to his future after Congress. Join host Erick Trickey at 9 on 90.3.

What are schools doing to make sure students are turning in their own work? And in a time when test scores are used to measure the effectiveness of educators, is the temptation too great for schools to fudge the rules? We'd love to hear your thoughts on the state of cheating in schools. Remember, no copying off of others. Tuesday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas. Program originally aired Nov. 22, 2011.

So says Mario Morino, an influential philanthropist and author whose book, "Leap of Reason" seeks to change the culture of philanthropy and the non-profit organizations it supports. Non-profits should hone their long-term focus, collaborate, collect data and prove that their efforts bring results. Join host Mike McIntyre Wednesday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas.

Casinos promise to bring millions more this year. And the state wants to double down on marketing dollars to attract even more out-of-state visitors. Destination: Ohio, Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. on The Sound of Ideas.

Feeding, living and thriving off of people and pets….and often, we don’t even know it. Join host Anne Glausser Monday for a Science Café edition of the Sound of Ideas. You won’t believe where parasites lurk, how they can harm and help the body, and how they helped shape human evolution. We’ll have a biologist from Case Western and a veterinarian from the Cleveland Zoo in studio to answer your critter questions. Monday at 9 on 90.3 Mon, 14 May 2012 13:00:00 -0400
