John Fox served as the editor at *Everybody's News* in the late 80s and early 90s, then co-founded *CityBeat*, and now is the editor of *Cincinnati Magazine*. *Everybody's News* and *CityBeat* were strong supporters of 97X - John and music editor Mike Breen would make the trek to Oxford once a week to highlight local music and arts events on the airwaves. John talks about the symbiotic relationship, our shared "weird" audience (spoiler: they weren't weird, just cool), how both CityBeat and 97X were ahead of the curve, and the magic of the old MidPoint Music Festival (MPMF). We also talk about his current role at *Cincinnati Magazine*.
