Pull up a chair, and listen to two old friends talk about Metro Detroit.
I recently was a guest on the IT in the D podcast a bit back with Bob Waltenspiel. As always, we don’t agree on everything - but we’ve known each other through the podcasting world for many years.
Bob, through IT in the D events, they’ve gotten countless people jobs; thrown a bunch of networking events, and more.

It is often simplified in political debates – one focused on bringing jobs back, on buying American, on protecting local industries through measures like tariffs.
But the reality, as lived by the people actually making things, sourcing ingredients, and meeting payroll, is often far more compl...
A superstitious sign tied to the Tigers re-appears in Corktown, a major downtown Detroit development plan scales way back, and a new bagel spot is coming to Core City.
More show notes to come.

Creative communities, on one hand, offer spaces for connection, self-expression, and profound meaning-making – all awesome things.
But on the other, particularly in scenes built around music and nightlife, they can become entwined with cultures of substance use, creating environments that are difficult, even dangerous, for those navigating addiction or seeking recovery.
So how do you build support within those communities? How can ...

On today's show, I sit down with Francis Grunow, the guy behind the Greater Detroit Windsor Project.
We dive deep into thinking about a bigger future for our area – not just the city, not just the suburbs, but the whole metro region including our neighbors across the river in Windsor.

On today's Daily Detroit: First we do a little "Where we've been" talking about a new coffee shop in Hazel Park and Devon's potty training technique.
Then, tariff talk.
It was announced Wednesday that there will be a 25% tariff on all imported vehicles to the US, with a tariff on parts coming May 3. The idea of getting more manufacturing in the US has merit, but the way it's being done? Probably will quickly rise prices on vehicles...
The Jackson Home, originally in Selma, Alabama was a crucial place in the fight for true freedom for African-Americans.
