Loved Jennifer on the show today! I loved watching the circus and was sad when they didn’t continue. However everything must move forward. Please keep up on the good work you are both doing on and off the air! So glad my friend turned me on to this show. Thanks again, Margie
Mark and Jeff do an incredible job with their analysis and guests. Definitely worth subscribing to this podcast to keep up with what’s happening in Michigan
Thanks for doing this podcast- great insights on Michigan politics. 2026 will be wild, including senate and governor races.
I used to be a democrat before I knew any better. If you’re a Trump hating leftist this is the show for you. I didn’t find it informative. It’s just a vehicle to bash the right, conservatives, Trump supporters. You can get that from CNN, MSNBC mainstream media. I’m tired of it. I couldn’t make it through the whole episode. It’s sickening. Just the usual liberal bias with no proof. No wonder Michigan is such a hell hole in distress.

A candid, Michigan-focused political analysis show hosted by two longtime party insiders with sharp, sometimes contrarian takes. Episodes consistently dissect state races, policy battles, and national issues through a pragmatic lens, often contrasting Democratic and Republican strategies while spotlighting the mechanics of campaigns, money in politics, and governance reforms. Notable for heavy emphasis on Michigan politics, insider perspectives, and a blend of adversarial yet respectful dialogue that aims to illuminate how power operates in the state and beyond.
