DCFC Offseason talk: Less than 60 days 'til Keyworth (ft. Fletcher Sharpe) Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

A little offseason chat about our local USL Championship pro soccer team, Detroit City FC.

There's the addition of Adrian Billhardt, but some concerns (including the number of players on the roster) remain as opening day creeps up. Teams across the USLC have been spending, and we hope Le Rouge follows suit.

Plus:

- We get word of a friendly from the Riverhounds

- A performance coach has left for MLS

- Fletcher Sharpe has two more suggestions for the roster

- And we evaluate a scorer who became available and if he'd be a fit for the club

Working on big local challenges (ft. Matt Elliott, Bank of America Detroit) Jan 23, 2023

Population. Affordable housing. First time homebuyers. And more. There's a lot going on and facing Metro Detroit, and Bank of America's president for Detroit joined me at the Detroit Policy Conference to talk about them for a bit.

Is Calexico Detroit done?; New area code; Driver's licenses on the decline + more Jan 20, 2023

Show notes

00:55 - What we're drinking. Artificial Intelligence IPA from Atwater and Spruce Tip from Eastern Market Brewing Co

04:52 - Is Calexico Detroit closed for good? Looks like it may be. They stayed closed for two days beyond their temporary closure sign, the location is off the website, no one picked up the phone and corporate didn't get back with us.

10:39 - Do we need to push people back to work in person? Jer thinks whatever happens if the change doesn't happen soon it's sticking. Feedback welcome.

16:16 - Americans are getting their drivers licenses later than ever before, and 1 in 5 Americans have no drivers license at the age of 24. What kind of shifts does this mean? How could this impact autos, a key industry for Metro Detroit?

22:01 Devon will fight anyone who tries to take away his 313 area code as it looks like a new overlay area code is being issues for metro Detroit.

Harbaugh stays; DCFC signing suggestions Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

Fletcher Sharpe is in the studio talking about what has been years of Harbaugh drama at U of M.

Plus, as it's the off-season and all we can do is speculate, Fletcher has a couple signing suggestions for Detroit City FC that would be a homecoming of sorts and add to the team.

Amazon Fresh will heat up the grocery store war in Metro Detroit (ft. Phil Lempert) Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

Amazon Fresh is about to open up in Metro Detroit in a big way.

This is going to heat up some real competition in an a large but not growing market in Metro Detroit.

Michiganders aren't familiar with Amazon Fresh, so I got in touch with supermarket guru and expert Phil Lempert to help unpack all of this with some national experience and perspective.
