We kicked off season four of the podcast with the idea of asking the same four big picture questions to interesting Lansing people.  We could have asked Kathy Wilbur 400 questions.

Kathy is the Senior Vice President of Government Relations at Michigan State University, but this is just the latest stop in an amazing career.

We ask her four big questions (and a few little ones), and then top it off, of course, with house cleaning tips from Bobby O’Meara. 

It’s the Cold Oatmeal Podcast.

New season.  New feature.  New guest.

We kick off season four of the Cold Oatmeal Podcast with Four Questions for long-time, recently retired Lansing lobbyist, Steve Young.

We were lucky to catch Steve before his weekly trip to Sam’s, and he didn’t disappoint with his stories and perspectives from a successful career lobbying the Michigan State Capitol.

Plus, a new season, a new intro.  Joe plants a tree, and Matt gets his boat in the water.

We know you’ve missed us.  Cold Oatmeal is back!

Our summer vacation is coming to an anticlimactic close, so we’re leaving it to Joe to bring us home with his pick.

Bob Olson, championship golfer, renowned professional voice talent, and FOCO (Friend of Cold Oatmeal) is our encore guest.

Bob joined us back in May of 2018 for a great conversation, and, if nothing else, listen to the first 90 seconds.  It’s gold… Gold Oatmeal.

Laura is about to have a baby boy, so she gets to pick this week’s encore episode, and she’s picked a good one (This episode is loaded!).

We talked to Ahmad Bajjey, the award-winning meteorologist from Flint’s NBC25, in February of 2019… back when all we had to complain about was the weather.  Ahmad is awesome, and we learned so much!

Also awesome is Joe’s run-in with a skunk and our introduction to Sal the Skunk Guy, and Nick’s fight with all of us over US History knowledge.

This episode is so good, Laura has announced that if you all listen she will name her son either Ahmad, Sal or Publius.

Today, in our latest Throwback Thursday encore episode, we say good-bye and best wishes to Mikenzie Frost. 

Mikenzie is a tireless TV journalist covering Michigan politics who visited the podcast last fall. This week is her last in Michigan.  She’s heading off to a new gig at Fox Baltimore. 

Thanks for your work, Mikenzie. Good luck and be sure to pack your mug!
