Institutional Knowledge: Concerns about the loss of institutional knowledge in newsrooms and its implications for coverage quality. Collaborative Journalism: There's aerise of collaborative journalism between nonprofits and for-profits to fill in gaps left by traditional media. Impact of Tech Companies: The role of tech giants like Meta and Google in shaping how news is consumed and distributed - and how it's a frenemy situation with many media professionals and producers. Future of Sports Broadcasting: A deep dive into the Bally Sports bankruptcy and the future of sports broadcasting, including the potential shift to team-owned streaming services.

Interesting show of Metro Detroit stories today. In the fun category, recently a listener asked why Norris Howard isn't the Baron of Brightmoor, because of the alliteration. He explains why he's the Prince.
There was so much demand for Michigan Central's big concert that it sold out - and so have all the tickets for the tour since we recorded this episode and posted. So I won't include that link.
Then we get into the race for U.S. House, where Adam Hollier didn't get enough valid signatures to make the ballot, dealing a blow to the possibility of black representation for Detroit and nearby areas.
Norris gets into why it matters, but also people need to get their stuff together.

A few years ago, Milwaukee and Brush streets was a quiet corner tucked just south of West Grand Boulevard. Now, between Kiesling, Milwaukee Caffe and a host projects since then, it’s becoming one of Detroit’s interesting intersections - of fun, work, and residential.
Which projects like Chroma Detroit, Freya, Oak and Reel and more nearby, it's becoming a bonafide attraction.
Today we’re talking with the crew behind Kiesling - an approachable cocktail bar in the city’s Milwaukee Junction neighborhood. The building started life as a grocery store in the 1890s, but is now one of the best bars in Detroit.
They have been holding pop-ups and events there, helping foster even more development of the hospitality community in the city while delivering a fun time that you don’t want to miss. 
Owner Ashley Davidson, General Manager Jonny Brill and Bar Manager Allison Everitt

Today we're talking about three stories around town with Fletcher Sharpe. First up, news that the old Belle Isle Zoo (technically, the Children's Zoo for a time) will be razed and turned into natural habitat.
Both of us remember going to that place when it was a thing, we share our memories and a movie that was shot there. Second, the Belle Isle slide is returning this summer, says the Michigan DNR. Is riding the Giant Slide at Belle Isle your real "I'm a Detroiter" baptism? (We're of course joking, kinda?)
And finally, with the rise of the WNBA - we're feeling like Detroit is on the sidelines and wax poetic about the Detroit Shock and their legacy here, and how they should be brought back, especially with the rise of the women's game.
