Craig speaks with local attorney / author / historian Steve Lehto about his book examining the legacy of Douglas Houghton, and his plans to recreate Houghton's canoe journey around the Great Lakes. It is quite an ambitious plan...some might even call it crazy. But it does sound fun!

On today's show, Craig talks about a ballot initiative backed by large corporations that seeks to expand protections for LGBTQ individuals under Michigan's Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act, and then has some thoughts on those that seek to make light of the military service of others in the age of an all-voluntary military. A recent Wall Street Journal op-ed spurred some conversation.

The international community is scrambling to adjust to the heightened tensions, while Iran's leadership, as well as President Trump continue to taunt each other via official statements and social media. Deadline Detroit's Craig Fahle sat down to discuss the situation with Saeed Khan, a...

In this "best of 2019" podcast, I spoke with the Reverend Faith Fowler of Cass Community Social Services about best practices for helping those that are homeless. The discussion came on the heels of President Trump saying it may be time for the Federal Government to "intercede" on the issue. Reverend Fowler has been doing amazing work in this city for decades. I am always happy to have her on the show!

On today's podcast, we begin looking back on the best interviews and shows from the past year. Today, I revisit my first show for Deadline Detroit, from January 3rd of 2019. In it, I discussed the first days of the Whitmer administration, the "outrage" over Rashida Tlaib's use of profanity in describing President Trump, and the need for real action on auto insurance reform in Michigan. It's always fun to see how wrong or right I could be on certain things.
