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!
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.
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.
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!
