Mackinac Policy Conference

More than a dozen people, including a member of President Joe Biden’s cabinet, have tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a political conference in northern Michigan last week.

Republican candidates for governor met for a debate last night. We talked about the major takeaways. Also, a conversation with Detroit-based artist and muralist Bakpak Durden.

An update on the Mackinac Policy Conference from the president of the Detroit Regional Chamber, ahead of tonight’s GOP gubernatorial debate. We hear about the attempted community called “The Palestine Colony.” Then we listen to a conversation from KEXP with an Ann Arbor musician.
