Answering those burning questions we all have about Cleveland

Legends of The Land Podcast

This is Legends of The Land, a podcast series that centers on some of those absolutely burning questions we all have about Cleveland — the kind of stuff no one is talking about – but probably should.

Legends of The Land Podcast

Research tells us what we all know: people don’t know a whole lot about Cleveland. From our obsession to sports to our rock history, we’re a bit of mystery. But much like with any good mystery, that is where legends are born, urban myths are created and, generally speaking, a good yarn is spun.

Our podcast series will center in on some of those absolutely burning questions our locals, visitors and outsiders have about The Land – the kind of stuff no one is talking about, but probably should. All the answers to these questions lie within our city’s vibrant history — warts and all. We’ll keep it light-hearted but won’t shy away from heavy subjects. Because Cleveland’s history deserves to be told — even the parts that we might not be so proud of.

Polish Boy

“What’s a Polish Boy,” you ask? This finger-licking phenomenon starts with a grilled Polish kielbasa laid in a thick, white sausage roll. Next, the sandwich is topped with piping-hot french fries and crunchy coleslaw.

The Banned Band

Did you know there was once a band that was banned from performing in Cleveland? And, because of this band, ALL rock concerts were banned in Cleveland?

The Lake Effect

It’s no secret that Cleveland gets a bad rap for being a snowy and cloudy destination. But the truth is, the weather in Cleveland, although fickle and – yes – cloudy and snowy at times, can be quite beautiful, sunny and with immaculately perfect temps. So, what’s the deal with this perception? And, what does the “Lake Effect” have to do with anything?

The Legend of Superman

Writer Jerry Siegel and Artist Joe Shuster came up with the idea for this enduring symbol of hope while living on Cleveland’s east side Glenville neighborhood.
