“The biggest word that inspired us to be here is grit.” From that charge, Brittany Vanderbeek of Aqua Action and host Khary Frazier dive into Detroit's bluest truth: “the greatest asset in the world…water,” and how our city's relationship to it will shape what comes next for Detroit. Brittany lays out Aqua Action's mission to “build a water-secure future through entrepreneurship,” explaining how everyday residents—not just agencies—can be “the people with a voice in water innovation.” Why Detroit is the hub (“so many opportunities…for water entrepreneurs to pilot their technologies”), how municipalities and startups can partner, and why design thinking means “start with the people.” The episode also gets real about tech: AI's thirst—“one simple prompt takes energy and water”—and the need for alternatives to water-cooled data centers. Brittany connects the global and the local—from a binational AquaHacking program (“anybody with an idea”) to Detroit River kayaking. If you care about Belle Isle, clean taps, and Detroit's right to define and benefit from the Blue Economy, this one's a listen.

On the thirty- seventh episode of ATFT, I talked with actress/ producer Michelle Calloway! While I wouldn't say this episode is explicit, there is some occasional language. Michelle Calloway is an artistic filmmaker based in Jacksonville who has been steadily working in the film industry since graduating Columbia College in Chicago with a degree in photography. She initially started working behind the camera in both film and photography but, in recent years as she has made her own films, has stepped in front of the camera. Like Richard Avedon, Michelle's short films explore the inner complexity of the human condition outwardly through visual storytelling. Michelle's sophomore short titled “Belle Isle” had a successful, worldwide festival run and earned her the award for “Best Experimental Short” at the Independent Shorts Awards in Los Angeles. Michelle has also starred in various other shorts such as “The Weary Time Traveler”, "The Resident", and “Southern Glen” but has recently made her feature film debut in Rachel Suissa's comedy Greek Mothers Never Die, which is currently in the middle of a film festival run and recently won the "Best Comedy Feature" award at the Central Florida Film Festival. Aside from her work in film, Michelle is signed with two modeling agencies, Posewell Model & Talent Management and The Peak Agency, and has been featured in commercials and advertisements. Michelle has been established as one of Jacksonville's most prominent filmmakers whose success will only continue upwards as her work ethic and genuine, singular artistry will take her far. Michelle's latest project is the drama short film, “Tallulah Park”. Named after a real park in Jacksonville, this poetic short is focused on Michelle's character Olivia as she struggles to find herself as she is haunted by her past. After a transformative chance encounter, her mindset changes leading her to seek redemption. Like Michelle's previous shorts, the internal complexity of her character is explored outwardly, but this time through found music and lyrical writing. For this project, Michelle wore three hats as she wrote, starred, and produced this film. “Tallulah Park” has just begun its film festival run and is expected to have a premiere in Jacksonville at a later date. While you're waiting for “Tallulah Park” to be released, go to LulahFilms.com to learn more about Michelle's production company as well as watch her past work! This is Michelle's first appearance on ATFT! We have been connected on Instagram for at least a year now but it wasn't until we recorded this interview that we met in person! Just by following her on Instagram, I knew Michelle was cool and authentic but when I met her in person, I saw how much of a boss she is while remaining incredibly kind. I have the utmost respect for her because of her confident attitude as well as her strong work ethic. I aspire to carry myself in this way as my shy self often hides my specificity and decisiveness. This interview was without a doubt one of the best interviews on ATFT thus far and one I have gained the most from so I am sure all creatives will take away something from listening. This episode was recorded on January 16, 2025.  In this episode, Michelle talks about the evolution of her artistry between photography and film through the years. Even though Michelle claims she is not a cinephile, she certainly knows some hidden gems which turns into a game throughout this episode. Michelle also talks about how her initial fear of acting transformed her, working with Brittany Murphy on one of her last films, and how she has turned her creative work into a successful business. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things! Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Welcome to your Daily Detroit for Monday, December 2, 2024. Jer Staes and Fletcher Sharpe get into the latest happenings in Southeast Michigan. As we approach the end of the year, we reflect on resolutions, goals, and unexpected developments in the city. Our first story revolves around General Motors' bold announcement to demolish Detroit's iconic Renaissance Center if public funding isn't secured for its renovation plans with Dan Gilbert's Bedrock. The proposal faces skepticism from lawmakers and pushback from local architects and preservationists. Jer and Fletcher debate whether this threat is a bluff and discuss the potential impacts on Detroit's skyline. More reported info on the Freep: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2024/12/01/gm-tear-down-rencen-towers-subsidies-rejected/76658555007/  Next, changes at Stellantis as CEO Carlos Tavares steps down following a challenging year for the auto giant. The company, formed from the merger of PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler, faces significant financial challenges and a search for a new leader. The discussion touches on the future of iconic brands like Jeep and Chrysler and the evolving automotive market. Why did they let Chrysler lose their swagger? The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory on Belle Isle is set to reopen on December 4th. This historic gem, designed by George Mason and Albert Kahn, has been a beloved part of Detroit since 1904. We get into its rich history and the excitement surrounding its reopening. In sports, the Detroit Lions bolster their defense by signing former All Pro safety Jamal Adams. Despite recent injuries, Adams' versatility is seen as a valuable addition to the team. Fletcher Sharpe provides insights into what this means for the Lions' defense. Finally, we turn our attention to the Detroit Pistons. Despite a 9-13 record, the team is showing promise. Fletcher highlights the impact of players like Cade Cunningham and Malik Beasley, as well as the positive changes under new coaching. There's hope for a playoff push as the Pistons continue to develop and grow. Daily Detroit shares what to know and where to go in Metro Detroit every single day on our podcast and newsletter.

Nous sommes à la toute fin du XIXe siècle. Emmanuel Laurens, un étudiant en médecine, âgé de vingt-cinq ans, se retrouve soudainement à la tête d'une fortune colossale, leg d'un cousin éloigné de sa mère. Ni une ni deux, le jeune homme se transforme alors en dandy et décide d'aller au bout de ses passions. Après un premier tout du monde, il se pose à Belle-Isle face à la ville d'Agde, à une soixantaine de kilomètres de Montpellier. C'est-là qu'il va faire édifier une demeure extravagante dont l'architecture synthétisera les avant-gardes artistiques et les aspirations modernistes de la Belle Epoque. Son ami, le peintre symboliste Valère Bernard (1860-1936), évoquant un séjour qu'il fit au domaine, en août 1911 , écrit : « C'est une hotte de fleurs merveilleusement posée sur le fleuve, de fleurs écloses sous les baisers de l'eau et du soleil. Et s'élevant au centre de cet épanouissement floral, le grand château exhibe ses terrasses. Leurs lignes majestueuses, leur proportions équilibrées, leurs dispositions nettes nous disent, symboliquement, la sagesse et l'amour des choses précises, bien établies et pratiques de notre genre humain. Elles disent aussi la joie de vivre […], la paix de l'étude et du repos ». Partons à la découverte de la villa ou du château Laurens… Avec nous : Anne Hustache, historienne de l'art.

Hadassah GreenSky is an artist, activist, and musician. She is also the organizer of the Vibes with the Tribes, an annual Native American and cultural festival held in Detroit since 2020. You may know her from a viral photo of her and a few fellow dancers in front of the former Christopher Columbus statue in Detroit. Another one of her projects is a documentary, referred to as The Red Ghetto, which documents the lives of Native American families living in the Cass Corridor. According to GreenSky, those who lived in Detroit all had stories of relatives living in the Cass Corridor. "I think I heard an auntie once say there was over 120 different nations once represented in the city of Detroit, and there's still remnants of that," said GreenSky. "But, there's no, like, historical documents that talk about this. It's all just stories that all of us have." GreenSky has also been vocal about water rights. This year, they are organizing a Prayer Walk for the Water on Indigenous Peoples Day, Oct. 14 from 1-5 pm on Belle Isle in Detroit. The event is in commemoration of Grandma Josephine Mandamin, who, as an elder, walked around all of the Great Lakes, several times.

In S4Ep16 Pt1 of the PRP, Adam reconnects with seasoned marathoner, established cofounder of WeRun313, passionate local philanthropist and spiritual guru extraordinaire Joe Robinson who has been preparing for the Berlin Marathon on Sept 29th, 2024. Knox Robinson, legendary long distance runner, global cultural icon, remarkable vibe prescriber and Joe's running mentor joins the show to offer his take on all things bananas, race prep and of course, the running culture that is booming in Detroit!  In a refreshing change of pace from traditional PRP episodes, the fellas link up out on Belle Isle 8 weeks out from race day to discuss what peak training is going to look like for Joe over the next couple months. Knox provides some key insight into his unique coaching philosophy and explains why his ad-lib style (that he picked up while training in Ethiopia with some of the best runners in the world) is truly a battle tested strategy for unlocking the best performances from his athletes. Just how far out does Knox let Joe see what the plan is? Not weeks, not days, not hours… we're talking minutes, people. A practice that has forced Joe to be prepared for any workout, any run, any level of output at any given time. When you're training with Knox it's best to not ask questions and you had better show up everyday with an open mind, ready to rumble.
 Things get vulnerable when Knox illustrates the deeply significant role WeRun313 is serving for its local community. For Detroit to see this version of itself, for black excellence to be at the forefront of cultural, economical and spiritual growth at such a staggering rate is something truly profound. From running, to community support, to philanthropy and beyond; Joe, Lance and everyone who has climbed aboard the WeRun313 rocket ship has made it unequivocally clear - not only do they belong, but they are leading the game, and you best believe, these cats are just getting started!!
 What's the difference between hope & faith?? Errr does Joe low key abuse voice notes?! Did the ice cream lady just tell Knox he has chicken legs?! We out here recording on wax! Park vibes! African Game?! Mt Kilimanjaro?! Natural wine, psychedelics, free jazz & queer theory oh my!

 This and so much more in this inspiring, encouraging and amazing episode of the PRP!

On the north side of Belle Isle, better known as the "Detroit side," sits a historic landmark that has been the home of Detroit's only rowing club for more than 100 years. In its heyday, the boathouse was a bustling venue, featuring a grand ballroom, dining rooms and a bar frequented by Detroit's elite. But the future of the boathouse remains uncertain. In this episode of "CuriosiD," WDET's Amanda LeClaire digs into the history of the iconic structure, and what needs to be done to save it.

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.
