Kid Rock is from Romeo, not Westland

And that’s important because it goes to show just how little of a hick he actually is. He is the son of a millionaire auto dealer and when he moved to “the city” to be a hip hop artist, he actually moved to Mount Clemens (not “the city”). He didn’t actually live in Detroit until he was already famous (and could afford to live in a safe neighborhood) and never lived in Westland.

Venue staff: BOOK THIS PODCAST! Joe really handles history with great care, and often gets the point across in exactly as brutal and blunt a fashion required (the recent Rwanda series, for example). May require an animal fact after, but well worth the listen.
Excellent

Great podcast, very factual. I scrolled through the negative reviews and they are hilarious. People get so mad about stuff that everyone knows is true
