Welcome to your Daily Detroit News Byte for December 26, 2017.

When we first put together a few episodes of this Daily Detroit show, we thought of it as an experiment. Would people listen? Is there a need? And overwhelmingly, there is.

So, we’re going for it. This is now going to be a regular platform for us, four times a week. It will be one of the key parts of our storytelling in 2018.

After all, podcasting is a great medium to reach people in a personal way. So thanks to everyone who subscribed since our last show.
