    Does what it says on the tin
    Insightful daily pod with a hyper local focus.
  • Tommy-Prime
    Fun and Real
    Jer and the team serve up the news and happenings around town with a fun and welcoming tone while keeping it real and diving deep into topics when needed. Episodes are usually under half an hour, keeping Daily Detroit highly digestible, and a perfect way to stay updated. This is the local show that everyone should keep in their feeds. Keep up the good work!
  • DCFCstan
    Helpful info
    I love the mix of metro Detroit news, analysis, and inside info on the best places to eat and drink.
  • Gotgrs
    Freddi the pizzaman!
    Enjoyed the episode about Freddi the Pizzaman but you missed the real story by not talking about Freddi himself, all the good things he does and the real reason behind his store hours. Have Freddi on!
  • Jeffrey Marraccini
    Consistently awesome coverage of Detroit and our area, great for visitors, too!
    The NFL Draft, Mackinac Conference, and Michigan Central Station coverage have been so positive and impressive! Thank you for covering the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy scandal with emotion but sensibilities as well. Daily Detroit is so fantastic a resource for us lucky enough to live here and also for visitors. Thank you!
  • bigjames27
    Jer is the king of Detroit Life journalism
    This show is your one-stop shop for all relevant Detroit development news! We are so lucky as a community to have a show like this.
  • Motor City Adam
    The Voice of Detroit
    Daily Detroit is one of the finest sources of, amongst other things, real shoe-leather reporting throughout Detroit - in an age where that is going extinct so it seems. There is a lot happening on the ground in Detroit these days. Lots of stories, conversations, community efforts and people that do not make the Big Papers often or at all. Detroit can only go up from here and the work of Daily Detroit is integral to that progress.
  • ShawnT313
    Best Podcast In Detroit!
    This is my daily go to podcast! I am so thankful for the work Jer Staes puts into making this a quality podcast about all things Detroit! It’s because of him that I am able to stay up to date on what’s happening in my city while learning something new about every week. Keep up the great work Jer!
  • LesliePenny
    My favorite podcast
    Daily Detroit is easily the best podcast for all things Detroit and the region. From development news, to what to do around town, sports and even politics (that shape the direction our area is going), they have it all covered. If you’re not in the know about what’s happening in and around Detroit, that’s because you’re not tuning in to Daily Detroit! I highly recommend it.
  • Mike D from Detroit
    Best local Detroit podcast
    This team puts on a great podcast almost daily. Focus is Detroit but the topics are diverse. What’s new in dining? What’s going on in politics? What’s going on in sports? Just phenomenal that they do such a good job with diverse topics. Great cohosts and external guests too.
  • MacOdis
    Daily Detroit podcast full of good information
    Daily Detroit’s great crew provides important information about the City of Detroit and the surrounding area. The podcast discusses local news, history, what to do around town, local politics and much more.
  • El Don McGuap
    Informative & Insightful
    Hey Chase Cantrell please do a podcast on real estate development in Detroit and other cities.
  • Epeebill
    Quick, informative and incisive
    This podcast covers a little bit of everything going on around Detroit. The episodes are typically short, but not rushed or shallow. A really good source for picking up news and happenings around Detroit.
  • Detroit_Titan
    Metro Detroit’s Premier Pod
    Strongly Recommend, especially if you live in Metro Detroit or an ex-pat of the region. A great mix of interviews / news / news you won’t hear many other places, spotlights on all things metro detroit: Food, sports, etc Easy listen….. must listen
  • Car.car
    Favorite morning pod!
    Amazing content, always up to date and on top of super local stories! Development, restaurant reviews and openings, updates on local political races, and best of all sport; as they actually cover DCFC!! (Detroits soccer team for those who don't know.)
  • MeattrayNate
    Great Local Pod!
    I tuned in for a DCFC segment and once it ended I just let a bunch of older episodes play. They cover so many topics! It's informative, entertaining and short enough to listen to everyday. I'm glad I found you guys!
  • Ars_1117777
    Please stick to your mission statement
    I listen to this podcast b/c of your “sharing what to know and where to go in Metro Detroit” . leave the politics out of it. Steve Friess episode was VERY cringe worthy and I had to unsubscribe.
  • Mar6647
    A great dispatch from Detroit
    As a Michigan native who moved for school a while back, I really enjoy this show as a way to connect to home. Entertaining and informative!
  • Matt Arnold from Detroit
    Independent local journalism
    Never before has independent local coverage been so important. This podcast does it as well as large news organizations, and adds their own engaging style.
  • Yeebin_8
    Local and practical
    Great podcast to listen to when trying to stay informed.
  • Mack1861
    Stick to the news
    Stick to the script - what’s to know and where to go in Detroit - I have been enjoying that part of the show but please stay away from your own private opinions - that’s when I turn you off
  • 59years
    My favorite Detroit news
    Even better than friends and family at keeping me up to date on what’s going on in Detroit.
  • @Outcomes_guru
    Interesting practical and entertaining
    Always at least a few really interesting things, usually more! They don’t waste a lot of time with side conversations, but still casual and entertaining.

    Refreshing
    These guys are on to something. If you appreciate rational conversation and analysis on issues that are local and beyond then you’ve found the right podcast.
  • BamelaBary
    My new go to for local news.
    I’m a pretty new listener, but I already dig this podcast. It keeps me informed and I like the hosts.
  • capnthad
    Detroit FOMO cure
    If you’re like me and love little tidbits of what’s going on around this great city and a little bit of tasteful banter, this is what you’ve been looking for. Daily tidbit podcasts are my jam
  • S. Madar
    Great daily news podcast!
    I have been a fan of Daily Detroit since it started. I love that they have created a podcast for local news. The fact that they don’t do the regular “if it bleeds it leads” trope like other news outlets is refreshing. Keep up the good work!
  • DTW_313
    Great news synopsis
    If you want to keep up with Detroit, this is the place to do it.
  • Tommyb1218
    Boring
    This podcast will put you to sleep. Boring.
