Doug and Alek are joined by former Central Michigan University classmate and friend Eric Dresden to discuss his 2019 cancer diagnosis, what he has in common with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and why he left the field of journalism after serving as Central Michigan Life's editor-in-chief in college and working for publications like The Arizona Republic, Big Rapids Pioneer, and The Flint Journal.

You can join Eric in "empowering the thousands of patients and families across our state who are feeling out of control and helpless" by donating to The Blood Cancer Foundation of Michigan via their website.
