The Interview Issue

In the magazine world, we are hopelessly beholden to lists; Top 10 Travel Destinations, 5 Must-See Movies, 7 Meals for Under 7 Dollars. It’s as much of a binding element of...

Randy Malloy

Randy Malloy is a brash bastard, with his damned surfer hair and 1950s-style good looks. He’s a booze vacuum, and I bet he could drink his way out of a vat of beer. He spoke...4

Andrea Cambern and I are sitting in Pistacia Vera, holiday music is piping through the space and the explosive blast of the espresso machine routinely interrupts the jolly...6

David Schottenstein

Two rabbis walk into a clothier … It’s not the beginning of a joke, but rather a typical moment in the hectic life of 27-year-old David Schottenstein. The rabbis are no...2

Josh Krajcik

Sometimes, a guy can catch a break. It’s a rare thing for a musician to go from part-time burrito maker to hopeful international superstar in the span of a week, but Josh...2

Stephanie Hightower

Stephanie Hightower first broke on to the scene as a track and field star at The Ohio State University. She holds the world record for the 60-yard hurdle, and went on to serve...4

Nick Wolak

If you don’t recognize Nick Wolak’s name or face right off the bat, it’s likely because he’s not one to flaunt himself as a big mover and shaker in Columbus. Yet, he’s...17

Lori Gum

Diminutive, bespectacled, and possessed of a knockout intellect, Lori Gum has her hands in many pots here in Columbus. A program coordinator for the gay-rights organization...1

Ryan Vesler

The word “retro” hardly does Ryan Vesler justice. With his typical combo of classic sneakers, jeans and perfectly-imperfect match of his HOMAGE brand vintage t-shirts,...

Blueprint

Not only was 2011 the biggest year in the hip-hop career of Blueprint (born Al Shepard), it was a year full of poetic justice. It took roughly five years for the former RJD2...
