Lions wrap up a solid season + A listener DCFC question Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Fletcher Sharpe and Jer wrap up the Lions season that although they didn't make the playoffs, there was still a lot of success.

Plus, we answer a listener question about Detroit City FC's pace of signings compared to last year and concerns that the roster isn't filling out.

This was recorded before the announced signing of Richard Ballard.

Who's next for Stabenow's Senate seat? + MI Gov race speculation (ft. Steve Friess) Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

Steve Friess of Newsweek, Hour and all the things is back to help unpack the beginning of what may be a crowded race for Debbie Stabenow's U.S. Senate seat as she announced her retirement at the end of this term.

Plus, we get into some punditry for Michigan Governor as Whitmer is term-limited. Because if a well known name isn't running senate, they might be running for governor.

Senator retires; Avalon changes; Detroit Policy Conference preview Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

Things have been super busy with a bunch of projects, so I caught up with Devon O'Reilly in his office high atop downtown Detroit.

Longtime U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow is retiring. Who's next? What's next? It's a question to explore form multiple angles. Devon adds his two cents.

Programming note - yes, we plan on having Steve Friess on the show as well. I got the assignment.

Avalon International Bakery is closing their flagship store and moving into Jolly Pumpkin around the corner. Though it's not bad for the business, it does bring up memories.

And, the reason I had to catch Devon at his office for a few minutes is he's planning the Detroit Policy Conference on Tuesday. He gives a preview of what's happening - and of course, Daily Detroit will have a mobile podcast setup there.

Show notes

Big time in Detroit sports. For the first time in a long time, the Detroit Lions are actually in the playoff hunt. Michigan lost to TCU and Harbaugh might go pro. Roster changes continue to Detroit City FC, and Fletcher shares some thoughts on Damar Hamlin as he's a former player.

12:37 - Michigan loses to TCU. What's next? Does the school still have the same allure for players it once did?

20:36 It seems like Harbaugh is flirting with going pro again. Is it time to just let it go?

24:06 We get into a couple roster changes at Detroit City FC. Nate Steinwascher is signed, but Deklan Wynne is out to Charleston Battery to play under former Le Rouge coach Ben Pirmann.

28:08 - Fletcher shares his thoughts on Damar Hamlin as it hits close to home for him.

Inside the new Apt. Disco; Trying sour beers; At-home bar basics Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

Engineer Randy Walker joins me for a veritable podcasting trifecta. Here are the three things we're talking about today:

01:16 - Sour beers are kind of a niche in the brewing world, and since Randy's such a fan we're trying some from Ferndale Project and ranking them. Not sponsored - just, a chance to try something different. Maybe you like them, maybe you don't, but if you haven't maybe give the genre a try.

10:05 - Apartment Disco is open on Detroit's east side on the border with the Grosse Pointes. Randy's been in and has what you need to know before you go.

16:12 - And finally, if you're looking to build a bar kit for home to try some craft cocktails you make yourself, we share what you need.
