Interesting, moving. This was a solid podcast.
I am an avid listener of WDET, even though I live in Chicago (hands down WDET has one of the best NPR stations across the country). The Beginning of the end is on par with This American Life and The Moth. I enjoy listening to the stories and wish the Podcast was longer. I will be donating to this great Podcast to show my support and hope the great content continues.

I discovered this podcast from reading an article about Detroit podcasts worth listening to. I wound up listening to the entire first season in one sitting! Episodes aren’t too long — they could actually stand to be a bit longer probably. It’s the perfect combination of weird + interesting, and is totally relatable. Not only worth checking out, but worth getting in to.
I love this Podcast. The topics and delivery are great. I also like that it is focused on Southern Michigan...at least so far. Good work!
The end is too often a sad event. This gives me enough distance to find the joy in the conclusion of one chapter which yields the the beginning of the next. Keep it up.
