There’s not a chance that a person who’s been to Columbus hasn’t come across a building designed by the firm Moody Nolan.

The Schottenstein Center, Ohio Union, a few Columbus Metropolitan Library branches and even the new terminal at the John Glenn Airport have all been designed by the Moody Nolan firm.

The business was started by Curtis Moody and now his son, Jonathan Moody, has carried on his father's legacy as CEO since 2020.

Independent bookseller Linda Kass is known for bringing top literary talent to town to discuss issues of the day.

An author in her own right, Linda’s latest novel is set in Columbus in the pivotal year of 1969, at a fictional high school where students are navigating real-world events that reverberate today.

Good storytelling is important, because it shows the world that we are more similar than we are different. Not a single group of people is monolith and everyone contains multitudes.

Filmmaker Damon Mosley tells stories through his love of music, his community and his sneakers.

We're talking to these unique individuals on this week's Fascinating Ohio.
