Confusing and just trash now
I’ve used this Podcast app for years and now I can’t even make it play consecutive episodes or figure out how it works. Its totally confusing totally worth it to me now!

I love this podcast!!
This podcast covers great stories of all scale from across the state. April is fantastic!! I feel so much more connected to my state and community hearing Michigan stories.

I'm sad I have to Unfollow
This podcast used to be so good about two years ago but now it seems it consist of nothing but Michigan sports. The podcast should go back to focusing on real news and leave the sports to a different podcast.

Great podcast!
I love listening to April and guests talk about topics that are important and interesting. I learn something new in every one. Especially like that they’re short enough to listen to running errands or taking a break. I don’t always have time to read an article or research the latest news so these dives into hot topics are helpful!

Tried every which way to get the playlist from the last episode, which was awesome, but not to be found.

Podcast consistently lops off the best of the show
Hear K-zoo pulitzer prize winner Diane Seuss the radio program? Cut it from the pod. GR Musician Dana Nyson on the radio? Cut it from the pod... The podcast is 1/3 of the show and never the timeless human interest or arts sections. It's the timely, political, etc dreary third that is all over the news and you would never return to. Why make a podcast of that? Maybe I'm the outlier, but I save pods that I will want to re-listen to down the road. I quit coming here looking for the best part of the radio program because I now know it won't be here. I have to email myself and/or book mark the shows I want in my browser where they're sure to get buried. Too bad, it would've been nice to return to these stories like one does with TAL or Fresh Air...

Greg Bowens
I love this podcast - hosts and topics are fantastic. I’m literally only leaving this review after listening to an episode with Greg Bowens as a guest. He talked over every speaker and rambled for upwards of 15 minutes. This is 200% non-partisan, but it made me sad to see a guest dominating and cutting off the host and leading the conversation way down a rabbit hole. Sincerely hope they never have this guest again! For being progressive, he has no problem literally talking through and over the female panel host. Do better.

Leftist trash
A couple of Karen’s talking about how they love control. Gross!

The best of Michigan Public Radio
If you are a Michigander, or someone who is curious about current events, arts & culture, environment, and all other things Michigan related, this is the place to start. I listen to this show every day it airs, and I’m always impressed with how comprehensive, fair, and enlightening it is. I urge anyone curious about Michigan to listen to this podcast.

Well edited and produced
This podcast could get lost in the heap but take closer listen. The quality of writing and production is very high and gets close to the ground with insightful interviews.

One Sided Interviews
Since changing hosts to April Baer the show has taken a much harder lean to the left. Interviews should have both sides of an issue discussed. No arguing or bickering, just open discussion. The Jul 29th interview with Rep Kildee had errors that were never fact checked. He stated "that less than half the unemployment recipients received more than what they were earning." Even congress has stated that 60% - 70% of the recipients received more than they were earning. He stated "if the $600 benefit was good enough then, it should be good enough now." He knows that the first bill was passed in haste over the objections of some that the benefit was too high. They were promised at the time that the amount would be revisited if the benefits needed to be extended. Which everyone knew they would have to be extended and I fully agree with that. However, now that they have had time they can intelligently determine a number that makes more sense. I really like the concept of the show, but there needs to be the entire picture presented to the listener when a topic is partisan in nature. It does not have to be a debate. Just both sides of an issue presented articulately so that we can be properly educated. Thank you.

Good MI news
Put time stamps in so I can listen to relevant segments. I don’t listen to cocktail time, most sports coverage, and sometimes lengthy interviews if they aren’t of interest. April is doing a great job so far

Love the Content But
It would be great if you would add timestamps in the format (mm:ss) to the show notes denoting each segment. The hyperlink to the timestamps isn't clickable from my podcast player Keep up the great work!
