Show notes
Jer and Devon cue up our annual mild, hot, and spicy predictions for Detroit, Metro Detroit and Michigan things in 2026!
From fun, to development, to automotive, to transit, to politics - we cover all of the bases. If you've got your own predictions (or agree or disagree with ours!) let us know.
It's one of our must-listen local podcast episodes of the year. Sometimes our predictions and forecasts have been spot on.. and other times, not so much.
As a heads up, we will be going into a slower schedule with occasional episodes for the next two weeks into the new year so we can spend some time with family and loved ones, and then back on our regular pace in January.
Be sure to catch up and check out our back catalog of more than 1800 local podcast episodes in case you missed something.
