Episodes are usually under half an hour, keeping Daily Detroit highly digestible, and a perfect way to stay updated. This is the local show that everyone should keep in their feeds
For everyone who loves Detroit
I’ve been a regular listener for two years since I returned to Detroit and I’ve dropped by a couple of times for events. I’m no doubt forever a Phez-Head!
First of all the 20min average is exactly right for a commute or a morning coffee and it’s a perfect digest of what is happening in the city. Jer, Norris, and Devon are great humans, gifted journalists, urbanists, and citizens. (and Phezzy too)
There’s a lot of heart in these talks and whenever Jer signs off - I get a little misty.
Detroit is people first, and our presence matters (even if it’s just showing up to local events, businesses, and supporting local efforts) — and it’s true! I HAVE seen Jer around Detroit! lol.
The Voice of Detroit
Daily Detroit is one of the finest sources of, amongst other things, real shoe-leather reporting throughout Detroit - in an age where that is going extinct so it seems.
There is a lot happening on the ground in Detroit these days. Lots of stories, conversations, community efforts and people that do not make the Big Papers so often or at all.
Detroit can only go up from here and the work of Daily Detroit is integral to that progress.
News, but for the future
Daily Detroit is so much better than the other outlets out there because they're personable, fact-rooted, and cover the things that people who are trying to make Detroit and region better care about. You won't find constant updates on crime, but discussions on how to make it better.
Positive while pushing the important conversations forward, and you always know where they stand and that builds trust, even if you don't always agree.
Awesome coverage of Detroit
Great for visitors, too! The NFL Draft, Mackinac Conference, and Michigan Central Station coverage have been so positive and impressive!
Thank you for covering the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy scandal with emotion but sensibilities as well. Daily Detroit is so fantastic a resource for us lucky enough to live here and also for visitors. Thank you!
