Smith made some off-the-cuff comments about Detroit that got a lot of Detroiters real mad about how he perceived the city and the Lions impact on it. 02:09 – Norris Howard is in, and we talk about – should we have paid it so much attention?

On the future of Metro Detroit's suburban transit (ft. Tiffany Gunter, SMART)
Although a lot of attention is paid to buses and transit in the city of Detroit, the reality is the vast majority of people in Metro Detroit do not live within the city limits. Although some do, many of their trips to get around don’t involve the city at all. They’re served by SMART – The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation – and any conversation about transit and linking southeast Michigan together involves their work. In this conversation with Tiffany Gunter, Depu...

Does the Republican Party matter anymore? Or is it all Trump?
With the recent drama at the Michigan State Party around who’s in charge, finances and more – we got to thinking, in the age of Trump, does a state party matter anymore, or is it just all about whatever Trump does? After all, he’s the focus of attention, resources from voters, and looks to be the clear lock for the nomination. So is the Republican party as we knew it, dead? And means something else now? Does the infighting matter as Trump is going to call all the shots everywhere now a...
