Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep was in Detroit the week of April 20-24, 2009, to take a look at the economic crisis that has hit the state. Throughout the week, NPR featured stories on Morning Edition about how we're adapting to the economic change. At 1p on Friday, April 24, Michigan Radio aired a special one hour program called "Remaking Michigan", about how the state is trying to re-set itself economically. We opened the phones to take questions, invited Twitter replies (using @michiganradio), and hosted a live web chat (which you can read below).
