* M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell) and Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor) put the spotlight on Tim Pamplin (Twitter @NightCam), WDIV/Local 4’s streetwise one-man band best known as the Night Cam. Then Detroit Free Press contributing columnist Darren Nichols (Twitter @dnick12/Facebook Darren Nichols) and University of Michigan-Dearborn journalism professor and elections guru Tim Kiska (Facebook Tim Kiska) zoom in to discuss some surprising election results from Detroit. Matt Jennings (Twitter @MattRJennings) hits the books while Joey Zuver wonders why the perfesser keeps using his CompuServe dial-up to connect with the show.* THE STRAIGHT DOPE: You know the voice, you’ve seen his video, but you can’t see him. Not even now! Tim explains why Mr. Night Cam wants to remain in the shadows. Then he explains how people recognize him anyway. (Spoiler alert: It’s with their ears!)* ML and Tim spent some time on downtown streets last Friday with a very agitated protester with a 12-gauge slung over his shoulder. Were they worried? Tune in and find out.* Tim explains what he watched as a toddler that inspired him to cross the pond, hoist a P2 camera and tell the stories of the mean streets of Detroit. You’ll even hear about the night the Night Cam was born in blaze that ended in glory!* About that pond … it’s the Atlantic, not the Pacific. Which means he’s English, not Australian. Tim tells how he got here — and whether he’s here to stay.* If you’ve ever wondered whether the Night Cam ever worries about his safety when he’s rolling solo in the middle of a generally hairy live news situation, you’ll have to listen to learn.* ML just could not let an episode pass with a reference to Kwame Kilpatrick. So he recounts that night he spent in the Night Cam van after Hizzoner barred him from attending the 2006 State of the City.* Because it’s all about him, ML also reminds Tim about the time they collaborated on one of ML’s last stories at WDIV. It involved a fish and a potential felony. Intrigued? You bet you are!* By now, you may think you know a thing or two about ol’ Night Cam. But unless you’ve checked out his Moments of Zen, it’s time to guess again.* Still hungry for more? Visit his website: https://www.timothypamplin.com* After Tim dashes off for, oh, I don’t know, a car crash or crime scene, ML explodes some election myths, promote’s Charlie LeDuff’s latest podcast episode and welcomes in Darren and Tim to break down election results in Detroit. Among the issues they explore is how Joe Biden got FEWER votes than Hilary Clinton and how Donald Trump got 5,000 MORE votes in 2020 than in 2016.* One reason Darren says Trump did so well in Detroit? Ice Cube. You heard that right. The genius behind “AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted” is now a Trumper. And that’s just some of the cogent election analysis from our panel of experts. To get the rest,
