A recent comment by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar that a possible Coronavirus vaccine might not be "affordable" for everyone got Craig thinking that this statement epitomizes what's wrong with our current health care system.   Democrats are all pushing for some form of universal health coverage but its often dismissed as an expensive pipe dream at best, or at worst, the first step towards communism.   Craig says at least the Democrats acknowledge that the status quo isn't good...and that It's time for media AND voters to actually get over their fear, and take a real look at the various plans, and what they might offer.

Craig is once again joined by attorney/author/historian Steve Lehto for a followup conversation about his planned canoe journey from Duluth to Detroit...did he make it?  How far did he make it?  Also...would he ever think about doing it again?   Listen and find out. Fun stuff here!  

Craig is joined by regular guest Nancy Derringer of Deadline Detroit, and attorneys Joel Sklar and Todd Perkins to discuss the big stories of the week.  Topics today include the impending impeachment trial of Donald Trump in the U.S. Senate; a new tell-all book about the President's first term in office; the comments that found State Senator Peter Lucido (R-St. Clair Shores) in hot water; and yes, a proposed swordfight.

On today's show, Craig talks about a ballot initiative backed by large corporations that seeks to expand protections for LGBTQ individuals under Michigan's Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act, and then has some thoughts on those that seek to make light of the military service of others in the age of an all-voluntary military.   A recent Wall Street Journal op-ed spurred some conversation.

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are nearing an all time high after recent Iranian provocations which ultimately led to a U.S. drone strike of Iran's second highest ranking government official on Iraqi soil.  The international community is scrambling to adjust to the heightened tensions, while Iran's leadership, as well as President Trump continue to taunt each other via official statements and social media.   Deadline Detroit's Craig Fahle sat down to discuss the situation with Saeed Khan, a Senior Lecturer in Near East and Asian studies at Wayne State Univerisity, and an expert on middle eastern history and politics.  They discussed the political and economic ramifications of the escalation in hostilities, as well as the potential impact on neighboring countries in the Middle East.   

Today, Craig speaks with Peter Ripmaster, 2018 Iditarod Trail International foot race champion.  Think about running over 30 miles per day, in winter, in Alaska, for nearly 30 days straight...all the way from Anchorage to Nome; 1000 miles, by yourself, pulling your equipment behind you.  Peter has a remarkable story to tell, which he does now as a motivational speaker.

In this "best of 2019" podcast, I spoke with the Reverend Faith Fowler of Cass Community Social Services about best practices for helping those that are homeless.  The discussion came on the heels of President Trump saying it may be time for the Federal Government to "intercede" on the issue.  Reverend Fowler has been doing amazing work in this city for decades.  I am always happy to have her on the show!

On today's podcast, we begin looking back on the best interviews and shows from the past year.   Today, I revisit my first show for Deadline Detroit, from January 3rd of 2019.   In it, I discussed the first days of the Whitmer administration, the "outrage" over Rashida Tlaib's use of profanity in describing President Trump, and the need for real action on auto insurance reform in Michigan.   It's always fun to see how wrong or right I could be on certain things.  

Craig sits down with Marlo Rencher, Director of Technology-Based Programs for Techtown Detroit.  They discuss "radical inclusion", and how to get more women and people of color to enter the technology space, especially through entrepreneurship.  They also preview Wednesday night's "Start Studio" Showcase event happening at Techtown.
