Detroit Economic Club’s Podcast
The nonprofit Detroit Economic Club was formed in 1943 to serve as “a platform for the discussion about business, government, and, social issues.” Its podcast series, launched in 2017, is an extension of this. Recent episodes include interviews with Ronna McDaniel, chairman of the Republican National Committee; Jim Hackett, president and CEO of Ford Motor Co., and Jeffrey Seller, the producer of Rent and Hamilton.

Can We Talk?
This podcast is far more than a current events update. These millennials discuss homophobia, social media, gentrification, gun control, and more. Have something important to say? These hosts encourage their listeners to message them on Facebook for a chance to be interviewed on the show.
