On today's show:

00:48 What are we drinking? It's Negroni Week. Many local bars are participating. https://www.negroniweek.com/find/

05:36 Eric went to the Detroit Auto Show's media day and reports back on the cars, the scene, and what's different this year as it's definitely got a different feel. Devon talks about changing expectation with what the show is, and we all wonder should it be tied together with the Grand Prix?

Same old Lions; Playing bad teams + gambling on college sports; Detroit City FC upset win Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

All things Detroit sports.

First, despite the hype of the HBO Hard Knocks special, Fletcher Sharpe talks about how the Lions are still the Lions and he has a low opinion on their season.

Second, we talk about Michigan on the podcast (Michigan State, too) and whether we should be playing teams we can blow out, and instead teams that matter.

Plus, should we bet on college sports at all?

Finally, Detroit City FC.

Le Rouge had an upset win over the Colorado Switchback over the weekend.

Fletcher talks about what went different than he predicted to get the W. We discuss the Sept. 23 USL Championship roster freeze; Ryan Shellow's job as keeper in the win; Hoppenot being able to do his job and Deklan Wynne's going to the New Zealand National Team.

Oh, and don't forget the important game against the Tampa Bay Rowdies on Satuday at Keyworth.

Media today; Finding common ground; The Detroit region's future + more ft. Craig Fahle Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

Today's show is a conversation with Craig Fahle. His voice, if you've been following the Detroit conversation for awhile, should sound familiar to you. He's a long-time radio host and now communications professional.

His newest thing for your ears is the VVK podcast, an occasional show that does deep dives into important and interesting issues.

Me and Craig have talked without microphones around a number of times, but this is the first time we've taken it on air.

And there's a wide-range we cover when it comes to topics. Media today, finding common ground on gun control, mental health and a bit on the future of the Detroit.

This was recorded at the Mackinac Policy Conference, and thanks to producer Shianne for making sure it got to air.

Should Detroit restaurants have public grades?; Historic Unity Bell refurbished; Buick wants dealers all-in on EVs Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Today's show is in three parts.

Detroit could get public restaurant grades in windows, whether it's a letter grade like some cities or a color scale. Should we? What do you think?

The Detroit Unity Bell is being officially unveiled this week. A cool piece of Detroit history, restored.

Plus, Buick wants its dealers to go all-EV. Some dealers are hesitant, and GM is offering to buy them out.
