Previous Episode

Pharmacies closing, Clinton Township explosion, and where to get crafty fabrics

Producer Shianne is in the studio today, and we get into stories around town and a little podcast inside baseball.

00:46 - We learned we're the 17th best podcast between 20 and 29 minutes long! (oddly specific?)

01:51 - A quick podcast tip as we've been sent a lot of podcasts lately (and it seems creating podcasts is back on the up): Introduce yourselves. This is not social media.

05:30 - Shianne is racing to finish the Barbra Streisand book before it has to be returned

07:51 - Turns out that explosion in Clinton Township wasn't just a run of the mill thing, there's a lot more that was going on. Between what they were storing, a large blast radius, and a tragic death of a bystander.

13:31 - The announcement that Rite Aid is closing on Woodward in Detroit got some local attention, but pharmacies and chains like it are in trouble across the country as the model of how people get their prescriptions change. Are we losing something? What do you prefer?

18:05 - It looks like Joann Fabrics is planning to file for bankruptcy. The crafty Shianne shares a couple places locally she shops to get what she wants.

Next Episode

Chef Max Hardy (from 2018)

Today we remember Chef Maxcel Hardy, who last week passed away unexpectedly at the age of 40.

He stopped by the studio back in 2018 for a great chat about his life, his businesses, his food and more.

A lot of was different in Detroit six years ago, and some is the same.

But that life story? Interesting. His personality? Warm. And there was so much more that happened after this conversation for him, like being named one of the 16 Best Black Chefs in America.

From Coop to Jed's to River Bistro to charity work and more, Hardy made a big impact in the culinary community.

The conversation is with my former co-host Sven Gustafson, who moved on during the pandemic to far bigger and better things over in the public relations space for a group of physicians.
