Fletcher Sharpe is in the studio talking about what has been years of Harbaugh drama at U of M.

Plus, as it's the off-season and all we can do is speculate, Fletcher has a couple signing suggestions for Detroit City FC that would be a homecoming of sorts and add to the team.

It's been a busy week so spent a few minutes checking in with Devon O'Reilly on his favorite new cocktail, some new places around town, Detroit home values being up and one of his favorite projects he works on, NeighborHUB.

Amazon Fresh is about to open up in Metro Detroit in a big way.

This is going to heat up some real competition in an a large but not growing market in Metro Detroit.

Michiganders aren't familiar with Amazon Fresh, so I got in touch with supermarket guru and expert Phil Lempert to help unpack all of this with some national experience and perspective.

Fletcher Sharpe and Jer wrap up the Lions season that although they didn't make the playoffs, there was still a lot of success.

Plus, we answer a listener question about Detroit City FC's pace of signings compared to last year and concerns that the roster isn't filling out.

This was recorded before the announced signing of Richard Ballard.

Steve Friess of Newsweek, Hour and all the things is back to help unpack the beginning of what may be a crowded race for Debbie Stabenow's U.S. Senate seat as she announced her retirement at the end of this term.

Plus, we get into some punditry for Michigan Governor as Whitmer is term-limited. Because if a well known name isn't running senate, they might be running for governor.

Things have been super busy with a bunch of projects, so I caught up with Devon O'Reilly in his office high atop downtown Detroit.

Longtime U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow is retiring. Who's next? What's next? It's a question to explore form multiple angles. Devon adds his two cents.

Programming note - yes, we plan on having Steve Friess on the show as well. I got the assignment.

Avalon International Bakery is closing their flagship store and moving into Jolly Pumpkin around the corner. Though it's not bad for the business, it does bring up memories.

And, the reason I had to catch Devon at his office for a few minutes is he's planning the Detroit Policy Conference on Tuesday. He gives a preview of what's happening - and of course, Daily Detroit will have a mobile podcast setup there.

What do we have to look forward to as far as development in 2023? Hotels, for one thing. Plus a whole lot more. Robin Runyan is back from Urbanize Detroit to discuss what's ahead.
