I don't know, but a person with a good Ohio accent will say "Mole" instead of mall, "Jowan" instead of John. It's similar to the Northeast / Kennedy accent, but not as strong as say, Boston. A little more subtle.

There are two main accents in Ohio, one in the north by the Great Lakes (Inland North accent), which includes the Cleveland area.
The other accent found throughout the rest of the state would usually be considered a 'Midland' accent.

They have a Midwest accent just like us here in Chicago. It's not really a strong accent. We just may pronounce or say certain words differently. I don't think there is a website for it though.

I think Drew Carey is from Ohio. Have you ever heard him on TV?
I am from Ohio, and we don't say jowan for John, or mole for mall.

Every state has what is called a regional dialect. I grew up in Wisconsin and moved from there almost thirty years ago and I still have people ask where I am from.

Sure, go to shoutcast.com and download Winamp (if you don't have it already), then search for a radio station in Ohio. Listen until your heart's content.

I would suggest...Ohio...that might be the best place to hear it, you could call someone there just to hear it.
