SAFC wrap-up; DCFC v Charleston Battery preview; More players to sign Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

In your weekly Le Rouge Report with Fletcher Sharpe, we go over some key Detroit City FC topics after their first match of the USL Championship season.

How did DCFC do in the loss? We look at the mostly positive result (outside of the final score) and a couple areas to work on.
We preview the match on Saturday against Charleston Battery at Keyworth. The home opener is exciting, and even more this year. We share the inside line on what to know about the visitors and what soccer journalist Fletcher Sharpe is looking for from the club on the field.
And finally, we get into the players that you don't see on the field. Fletcher run downs who from last year has been signed to other clubs, and we discuss the (current maybe?) lack of Cyrus Saydee.

Rivian's hot but the pricing is not; Does Ford Model e stand for Edsel? + more auto talk Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

We are the Motor City, so we're talking the auto industry today with Eric Trytko.

Will Ford's Model e stand for Edsel? Or will they make it soar?

Rivian's made a critical error, but it's a sign that pricing on electric vehicles is still something automakers are working on.

Plus, will Ford's Lightning beat the CyberTruck to market? Plus, prices are up for new and used vehicles, but Eric Trytko sees the used market coming down a bit in time.

Michigan film incentives are back on the table (ft. Alexander Page) Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

Today we're wading into one of the most requested topics as of late - the possible return of film incentives.

The first round in 2008 met its practical end just a few years later.

But my guest, Alexander Page of the Michigan Film Industry Association, says that due to a number of fundamental changes, the sequel will be better than the original.

And that there's bi-partisan support for them. So obviously, I had questions.
