Meet the Gardiner Brothers: The Viral Irish Dance Duo Returning to the Dublin Irish Festival

Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 23:35

The world-renowned Gardiner Brothers know exactly why people keep showing up to see them: talent, tradition and showmanship. Lindsay and Bruce sit down with Matthew and Michael, five-time world champions in Irish dance and viral creators with more than 10 million followers and over a billion views. We ask them about their much-anticipated return to the Dublin Irish Festival this year! They break it all down: what makes this festival feel so big, so welcoming and so proudly Irish.

We dig into the creative choices that make the Gardiner Brothers stand out, from taking precise, traditional Irish step dance and pairing it with modern music people already love, whether it's the Bee Gees, Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift. They explain how nostalgia pulls in new audiences, how they read the room on stage, and why their sets change throughout the weekend, giving festival-goers a different experience each time.

Then we go behind the curtain to learn how they maintain their health and wellness on the road: from ice baths to the fitness reality that "every day is leg day," and the pivot that happened when live touring paused and social media became the main stage. We also talk about the surprising third pillar of their brand: public speaking. They discuss how they teach innovation through rhythm with the mantra, "Act on beat. Think offbeat."

If you're into Irish culture, dance, live performance or building a creative career, subscribe and share this episode with a friend. Then make plans to see the Gardiner Brothers at the 2026 Dublin Irish Festival.

The Beta District: How Central Ohio Became America's Smart Mobility Testbed

Wednesday, July 8, 2026 • Duration 28:30

A connected region doesn’t happen by accident. It takes cities willing to coordinate, infrastructure that can support real-world testing, and leaders who can turn big mobility ideas into solutions that make everyday life safer. Lindsay and Bruce sit down with Doug McCullough, Executive Director of The Beta District, to discuss how Dublin, Marysville and Union County are building a smart mobility innovation district that serves as a national testing ground for transportation and logistics technologies.

We talk through what “mobility” really means when you look beyond cars: the movement of people, goods and services across communities, industry, agriculture and logistics. Doug explains The Beta District’s living labs, including the 33 Smart Mobility Corridor and its partnership with the Transportation Research Center. Plus, he shares how multi-level coordination with DriveOhio creates an edge that many regions simply can’t replicate.

You’ll also learn about practical examples like truck platooning, why fiber and digital connectivity matter for both residents and businesses, and how the district keeps its focus on a clear North Star: reducing fatal crashes and improving quality of life. Lindsay, Bruce and Doug then look ahead to the next five to ten years, from microelectronics and logistics modernization to advanced air mobility. You'll even learn a new word as Doug describes himself as a "techno-optimist" when it comes to AI.

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 32:39

The easiest part of July 4th is showing up. The hard part is making Dublin's traditions run on time, feel welcoming, and still surprise people who’ve been coming for years. Lindsay and Bruce sit down with Alison LeRoy, Director of Community and Events, to break down our Independence Day, America 250 celebration.

Music is a huge part of the night, so we dig into what to expect from Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers. Plus, Lindsay and Bruce talked with the opening act and country music up-and-comer, Adam Sanders.

If you still want to come and enjoy music and fireworks, there's a way to do it for free too! All you have to do is volunteer.

A Candid Conversation with Cameron Mitchell: Culture, Pivotal Moments and What’s Next for Bridge Park

Wednesday, June 10, 2026 • Duration 49:18

Our 100th show called for a guest who’s built something real, lasting — and let’s be honest - delicious. Lindsay and Bruce sat down with culinary and restaurant visionary Cameron Mitchell at his Valentina’s location in Bridge Park.

Together, they unpack what it really takes to launch a new restaurant concept— from early collaboration and inspiration trips to the hard work of dialing in the menu, service, and financial model. As Cameron shares, it can take years to get a single location right.

He also takes us back to the beginning: a turbulent teenage life, washing dishes for a few dollars an hour, and the “light switch” moments that pushed him to write down goals and pursue the restaurant business with intensity. The conversation explores pivotal detours along the way, including being initially turned down by the Culinary Institute of America—and how those early challenges shaped his leadership style and long-term commitment to hospitality education.

From there, the focus turns to values-driven leadership and restaurant culture. Cameron explains why he puts associates first, how that approach leads to better guest experiences, and why profit only matters if you protect quality and people. He also reflects on the darkest days of COVID-19 in the restaurant industry, a costly real estate mistake, and the service mindset that continues to power strong partnerships here in Dublin.

The conversation also highlights Cameron’s role in shaping Bridge Park as a regional dining destination, pulling back the curtain on his next project—a revealing story behind a concept that marks a first for Cameron and something long on his professional bucket list.

Not a bad way to mark 100—big stories, hard-earned lessons, and what’s next from one of the best in the business.

Jack Nicklaus on The Memorial Turning 50

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 • Duration 26:18

Fifty years of the Memorial Tournament sounds like a sports anniversary, but the real story is what happens when a golf event is built to serve communities. Lindsay and Bruce are joined by the greatest to ever pick up a golf club — Jack Nicklaus. They talk about how Muirfield Village and the Memorial helped put Dublin, Ohio on the map, why the City relationship has lasted for decades, and what “give first” truly looks like.

Jack also shares the most personal reason behind the tournament’s charitable legacy: a frightening moment when his daughter Nan was a baby and Nationwide Children’s Hospital saved her life. That experience shaped a lifelong commitment to children’s health, from the Memorial’s fundraising impact in central Ohio to the growth of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and clinics across South Florida.

Then, Bruce and Lindsay lighten it up with rapid fire: Jack's walk-up song, the pressure putt that taught him to believe in himself, favorite milkshake flavor, and a behind the scenes Happy Gilmore cameo with an ad lib that made the final cut.

From golf history to philanthropy and leadership, this conversation delivers with Jack's signature wisdom, wit and vision for a better world. Subscribe for more, share this with a golf fan, and leave us a review with your biggest takeaway.

Memorial Day With Meaning. Meet Dublin's Keynote Speaker Col. Andrew Powers

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • Duration 27:40

Memorial Day can look like cookouts and a long weekend, but the truth underneath it is far more demanding. We invited Colonel Andrew Powers, Commander of the 121st Air Refueling Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard and keynote speaker for Dublin’s Memorial Day Ceremony, to talk about what the day is meant to honor: Americans who died in military service, and the responsibility we carry when we remember them well.

Colonel Powers shares the recent loss of six service members in an aircraft crash, including three airmen from his wing. We talk about who they were as people, what it means to lead a unit through grief while the mission continues worldwide, and why supporting the families of the fallen must be measured in years, not days. If you’ve ever struggled to put words to military sacrifice, this conversation offers language that feels honest and grounded.

We also go inside the mission many Central Ohio residents may not realize operates right here at Rickenbacker: the KC-135 Stratotanker and the critical role of aerial refueling. From global power projection to humanitarian response, the 121st supports far more than fuel, including aeromedical evacuation, base defense, logistics, and medical readiness. We close with reflections on national resilience as America approaches its 250th birthday and a reminder that freedom is never guaranteed without each generation choosing to protect it.

Quieter Streets & Safer Paths. New Rules For E-Bikes, Exhaust Noise and More

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 23:21

Revved engines at midnight. A bass line that rattles your windows. A mini motorcycle flying past walkers on a shared use path. These are the moments that turn everyday travel into a quality-of-life challenge. And this is exactly what Lindsay and Bruce tackle in the episode with updated rules on noise ordinances and micromobility rules.

We’re joined by Deputy Chief of Police Nick Tabernik and Director of Transportation & Mobility Jeannie Willis to explain what’s changing and how it actually works in real life. We break down the new Dublin Ohio decibel limits for vehicle exhaust based on speed zones and the 80-decibel standard for stereo sound. Just as importantly, we talk about how officers determine excessive noise with a decibel reader and what residents should do when they need to report a problem using the non-emergency line.

Then we shift to micromobility, where new devices are showing up faster than most of us can keep track. Jeannie walks us through what counts as micromobility, how e-bike Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 differ, and where each can legally ride. We also cover safe parking that keeps curb ramps clear for accessibility and the updated helmet requirement for riders under 16. Throughout the conversation, we keep coming back to the same goal: safer streets, clearer expectations, and education first with enforcement as a secondary step when behavior doesn’t change.

If you care about road safety, shared path etiquette and practical local rules that keep Dublin moving, listen now. Subscribe, share this with a neighbor and leave a review with the next question you want us to answer.

A Doctor’s Path To City Hall. Meet Council Member Dr. Greg Lam

Thursday, April 23, 2026 • Duration 35:49

A city can add miles of trails, a world-class rec center, and recruit global companies, yet still miss the simplest ingredient of public health: belonging. Lindsay and Bruce sit down with Dr. Greg Lam, a cardiologist and new Dublin City Council member.

They talk candidly about why he chose local government after years in statewide health policy and nonprofit leadership, and what he learned by knocking on more than 1,600 doors in Ward 3. Dr. Lam shares why being the first Asian American elected to Council matters to the AAPI community, and why diversity and cultural inclusion are essential to Dublin’s identity as a connected, sustainable, resilient global city of choice.

Then we zoom in on the research: strong social relationships can dramatically improve longevity, while social isolation raises risks for heart disease, stroke, dementia, depression, and anxiety. That brings us back to City Hall, where parks, walkable districts, and intergenerational programming are powerful public health tools. The episode closes with a fun first for Link Ahead as his 16-year-old son Ryan joins to share a teen perspective on Dublin, social media, and what younger residents want leaders to understand.

How Dublin Turns One Saturday Into 70 Volunteer Projects

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 • Duration 21:08

One Saturday can change how you feel about your hometown. We’re gearing up for Dublin, Ohio Community Service Day on Saturday, May 2, and we brought in two people who help make it happen: Jenny Amorose, COO of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, and Christine Nardecchia, Director of Outreach and Engagement for Dublin. Together, with Lindsay and Bruce, we unpack why this day has become a can’t-miss tradition for families, students, and local businesses.

We trace the origin story back 26 years to a Leadership Dublin class project and follow how it grew into a community-wide volunteer event with 70+ service sites. You’ll hear how projects are selected through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and city teams, plus a concrete example of impact at the Giving Garden.

We get practical too: where to register (DublinChamber.org), how volunteers are matched with a site lead, what happens if the weather turns, and why you don’t need special skills to help. Along the way, we share the small details that make volunteers want to return, from the social side of serving to a boost in wellness that comes from doing something real for someone else.

If you’ve been looking for volunteer opportunities in Dublin or a simple way to meet good people fast, this is your sign. Subscribe for more local stories, share this with a friend who should come with you, and leave a review to help more neighbors find Link Ahead.

How Riverview Village Will Bring Entrepreneurial Flair, Historic Legacy and Family Fun

Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 37:56

Step onto The Dublin Link and cross into a first-of-its kind neighborhood. Riverview Village — where historic homes, river views and a thriving startup scene come together in the heart of Historic Dublin. Lindsay and Bruce welcome COhatch CEO Matt Davis and Dublin Economic Development Director Jeremiah Gracia to unpack how a public-private partnership is transforming our western riverbank.

Walk the plan with us: restored houses reimagined as off-site retreats during the week, a gleaming new headquarters for COhatch, plus art strolls, kayaking and great food on the weekends. It’s all supported by $11 million in City infrastructure—streets, sidewalks, lighting, utilities and stormwater—that powers year-round activation and makes the district genuinely walkable. We explore why this model favors a thousand small companies over a single anchor tenant, and how that diversity strengthens local businesses, fills vacancies and keeps dollars circulating here at home.

Beyond buildings, Matt talks about bringing a magnetic culture to Riverview. Think entrepreneurial fairs, kid-led markets and local showcases designed to spark real connections. He shares how “engineering collisions” through intentional design — like one central coffee spot at COhatch — turn everyday hellos into mentors, customers and collaborators.

From city-building and adaptive reuse to co-working done right and how public-private partnerships reduce time, risk and money for everyone, this conversation is packed with insights. Subscribe, share with a neighbor, and leave a review to tell us what part of Riverview Village you can’t wait to visit.
