In October 2024, two men in Detroit believed they had found the perfect target. A longtime jeweler and pawnbroker whose success made him seem like easy money.They came prepared with disguises, a stolen truck, and a plan designed to look official. But when they arrived at the home of 72 year old Hussein “Sam” Murray in Rochester Hills, that plan began to collapse.A story about assumption, desperation, and how the promise of one last score can end in something far darker.How to support:For extra perks including exclusive content, early release, and ad-free episodes -Go to - PatreonHow to connect:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterTheme and Closing Track:Original compositions created for The Minds of MadnessPlease check out our sponsors and help support the podcast:Shopify - Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at shopify.com/madnessQuince - Upgrade your wardrobe with pieces made to last with Quince.

Detroit's favorite hyperlocal holiday meets peak cozy season in this Daily Detroit conversation between Jer and Mr. Friday himself, Devon O'Reilly. Recorded for 313 Day, we dig into how to truly "do something Detroit" – from Belle Isle memories to where to spend your time and money in the city right now. We start with the reopening of the Belle Isle Casino as a public event space, swapping stories about hot dogs, model boats, and why "casino" never meant hitting the slots on the island. Then it's on to St. Patrick's Day strategy: the Corktown parade, why "Saint Practice Day" is ridiculous, and Devon's must-have drink list; plus how to make easy, affordable Irish comfort food like corned beef in the slow cooker, shepherd's pie, and stout-heavy stew. Foodwise, we get into the cheap and cheerful $10 New York-style halal plate at Halal Desi in Hamtramck as a true "port in the storm," while Devon goes all-in on a special-occasion splurge at Prime + Proper – and wrestles with whether ultra-pricey steaks are really worth it in a world of diminishing returns. They also talk oysters, Voyager in Ferndale, and mre. The episode wraps on "cozy" vibes, from the closure of Caribou Coffee's drive-through-only locations to the rise of Lucky Coffee and making better coffee at home, plus plans for 313 Day trivia and maybe even a future Hazen Pingree birthday party?

“I'm your publicist, not your therapist.” Publicist and brand strategist Pam Perry pulls up to the Detroit is Different studio and drops gems that hit like a drumline—because, as she reminds us, before “content creation,” our people were already “getting the word out” through bells, drums, and community signal. From Coney Gardens roots and Hamtramck church connections to Cass Tech, the RenCen, Wayne State, and the Detroit Free Press, Pam maps Detroit as a training ground for messaging, hustle, and legacy. She breaks down the marketing suite—“public relations, publicity, advertising, promotions”—and why every creator, church, business, author, and speaker needs strategy, not vibes. Pam talks Great Migration family history, the power of Black press—“we have to create our own narrative, our own media”—and the discipline of charging for skilled work: “You got to invest time or money, it ain't for free.” She explains spotting the “it factor,” preparing clients for national stages, and leveraging PR as “a traffic builder” with systems like email lists and owned platforms. In an era where “you don't know what's real,” Pam's blueprint connects Detroit's past signal-makers to the future of Legacy Black culture. And her advice: “Get a mentor…have longevity.” Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

On today's Daily Detroit, we are at TechTown with guest Danielle Daguio, engagement manager with Keep Growing Detroit, to talk about how Detroiters are literally taking food into their own hands. From backyard plots to porch planters and community farms, the Garden Resource Program is helping nearly 3,000 gardens grow across Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park with seeds, plants, soil testing, tools, and year round support. Danielle explains what it means to build a food sovereign city and why so many people have turned to growing their own food in the wake of the pandemic, grocery price spikes, and concerns about what is in our food. She shares how Keep Growing Detroit is lowering barriers for new growers by timing seed and plant distributions with the seasons and offering practical classes that make it easier to get started and keep going. We also dig into the cultural side of gardening. Danielle talks about reconnecting with family foodways from New Jersey to the Philippines and how growing certain crops can become a way to remember loved ones and keep traditions alive. You will hear about the Gathering of Growers series based on the Anishinaabe 13 moon cycle, cooking classes that highlight Filipino, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, and African American crops, and the annual tour that showcases unique gardens across the city.

Kim St. Onge spotlights Hamtramck, Michigan — the first Muslim-majority city in America — where an ordinance allows animal sacrifices on private property for religious observance. Marc and Kim dissect the line between religious liberty and local regulation, questioning whether such practices clash with community norms or mirror rural farming traditions. The conversation broadens to cultural assimilation, referencing Randy Fine's controversy over comments about Muslims and dogs, and how faith, law, and American identity collide. The segment wraps with listener reactions, humor about backyard deer processing, and a preview of upcoming guests Allen West and Tim Ezell.

Marc Cox kicks off Friday's show with early-morning exhaustion and humor about prepping for next week's State of the Union address in D.C., blending listener texts and sharp banter on Prince Andrew's scandal and government secrecy over aliens. The energy lifts as the team cheers the U.S. women's hockey team's overtime win against Canada and teases guests like Eric Burlison and Allen West. Kim on a Whim takes aim at Hamtramck's animal sacrifice laws, sparking a fiery cultural debate on faith, freedom, and assimilation. Marc closes the hour torching media outrage over Trump's new “MAGA Ballroom” at the White House — a symbol, he says, of progress critics can't stand to see built.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for this week’s Friday Hangover; they discuss a controversial local ordinance in Hamtramck, Michigan, that allows religious animal sacrifice under specific legal and humane conditions. Using a news clip as a jumping-off point, Brett and Pete explore the cultural, legal, and political tensions surrounding the decision, including sanitation concerns, neighborhood impact, and the limits of religious freedom. The conversation quickly widens into a broader critique of progressive politics, multiculturalism, and what happens when differing cultural norms collide within local government.

Hosts Saeed Khan talks with guests, public relations specialist Beverly Watts, attorneys Steve Fishman, Bill Seikaly and Joel Sklar; community and labor activist Barb Ingalls, veteran journalist Nancy Derringer and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel.They talk about: Trump says nothing to hide in Epstein files; Judge castigates DOJ prosecutors in case against former FBI Director James Comey; Wayne County Canvassers let Hamtramck mayor election results stand; Trump welcomes Saudi Crown Prince with full honors; Ousted Hamtramck police chief considers role in NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's administration; Andy Levin endorses Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate Run; Schmuck of the Week.
On this week's show... Democrats: Our military's oath - defend the Constitution. Republicans: That's sedition! Donald Trump thinks Elissa Slotkin should be executed. Trump sees the Epstein documents parade going in the other direction and runs to lead it…but launches Phase Two for keeping the Epstein files secret. Trump accidentally admits he's known about Epstein's abuse of teenagers for more than a decade … now saying that Epstein was a sick pervert and he knew it 20-plus years ago. The Texas gerrymander demanded by Trump gets thrown out by a three-judge appeals panel – with the lead opinion written by a Trump-appointed judge. Want a change in U.S. foreign policy? How about getting some state-of-the-art fighter jets. Or absolution for ordering the vicious murder of an American journalist? And, to top it all off, a black tie VIP dinner at the White House? All it takes is writing big checks, payable to the Trump family. A fringe Republican candidate for Governor has stirred up some hateful anti-Muslim demonstrations in Dearborn. And the rhetorical temperature is also going up in Hamtramck with another increasingly contentious debate over that city's mayoral election. Nick Anderson/Raw Story The most recent EPIC-MRA poll shows Michigan voters are angry over the Trump tariffs and what they are doing to the economy. It's especially important in Michigan, where our top trading partners are Canada, Mexico and China. We're joined by a Michigan business owner who is suing the Trump administration over the tariffs. Mike Musheinesh has been CEO of Detroit Axle since 2012, taking over from his father Ed Musheinesh, who started the company as a small aftermarket parts shop in 1990. Mike has grown the company into a leading global retailer and distributor of remanufactured and new aftermarket auto parts. Today, Detroit Axle employs hundreds of people in Metro Detroit, and it operates a large online operation to serve customers nationwide. kevinnecessary.substack.com

“Back in Detroit is Different studios—my grandma's house—where the organ once sat and the stories still breathe.” Episode 500 turns the mic on founder Khary Frazier, with Kahn Santori guiding a deep dive into why this platform became the safe space for stories of contemporary Legacy Black Detroit. Khary maps his roots—“Rosa Parks, Linwood, Davison, Dexter”—and how a choir-director grandmother and entrepreneurial parents, shaped a curiosity that became a catalog. In 2014 at Le Petit Zinc: “I wanted to introduce people to the Detroit I know,” from Malik Yakini and D-Town Farms to The New Dance Show's Henry Tyler, Rev. Ortheia Barnes, Sharon McPhail, and even Slow's BBQ Owner Phil Cooley. “Detroit is clickish, but I had connections across the cliques”—into subcultures (car clubs, Hamtramck's Eastern European community, the North End's legendary Aknartoons) and the fractures of the 96 freeway. Khary rejects clickbait—“this ain't the place for that”—and builds community instead: pandemic roundtables, a garden, and the Collard Green Cook-off born from a CashApp Crowdfunding campaign. He's candid about platform attacks—“with success comes attention you don't want”—and future films on the Detroit Phoenix Black firefighters and the New Bethel incident, linking elders' truth to tomorrow's archive. The heart lands where it began: “Opening this space with my Mom was my proudest moment,” a living memorial that keeps the past pulsing into Detroit's future.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/hindu-americans-political-vulnerability-violence-h1b-bias-13936122.htmlChandra Mouli Nagamalliah, a 50-year old motel manager in Dallas, Texas, was brutally hacked to death and beheaded by a Cuban criminal illegal alien, in front of his wife and son. The murderer kicked Chandra's head around in the parking lot, before picking it up and dropping it in a garbage bin. All this because of an argument about a washing machine.This extraordinary incident got no airplay in the US, partly because it coincided with the murder of a conservative broadcaster, Charlie Kirk. There have been other acts of extreme brutality in the US: Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was stabbed to death by a psychotic killer in a train. In December, Debrina Kawam was burned alive in a New York subway.Violence is not unusual, but it hits home when a ‘model minority' Hindu is killed in such a dramatic manner. There was also the unexplained death of Suchir Balaji, a whistleblower who used to work for OpenAI, who may have been silenced. 633 Indian students have died abroad in 5 years, including 172 in Canada and 108 in the US, according to India Today.I worry about what all this means for the 2-3 million Hindu-Americans. I specifically speak of Hindu-Americans for good reason. Non-Hindus from India have other networks: Muslims and Christians join existing mosque and church groups; some Sikhs project Khalistani memes, falsely alleging religious discrimination in India, seek asylum, and shun Indian connections. Zohran Mamdani, a PIO, has strong Islamist support in his run for NYC Mayor.Second, anti-Hindu noise in the US has gone up substantially, especially the allegation that Hindus practise caste-based discrimination. There was the California Bill SB 403, sponsored by Afghan-American State Senator Aisha Wahab, which the Governor vetoed. Now there is a new Bill SB 509 that also targets Hindus, and which has also passed the California Senate and Assembly. It was co-authored by State Assembly Member Jasmeet Bains.Then there are the lawsuits. There was the infamous suit against Cisco Systems alleging caste bias by two Hindu ‘upper-caste' managers against a ‘lower-caste' employee. After years of acrimonious hearings, the Federal Court penalized the California Civil Rights Department for faulty prosecution; CRD withdrew the case against the two managers; the case against Cisco continues in arbitration. But this has led to copy-cat suits and a malign narrative against Hindus.Another major lawsuit was against the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Temple in Robbinsville, NJ, the largest Hindu temple in the Western Hemisphere, again with accusations of caste-based discrimination. After years of wrangling, and accusations that an immigration lawyer had coerced some complainants, the DOJ and the US Attorney's Office for New Jersey closed the criminal case on September 19th, finding no violations of federal law or worker exploitation. The civil case continues; the narrative against Hindus has been strengthenedThere are leftists with Hindu names aplenty who are actively campaigning against Hindus and supporting people like the academic Audrey Truschke, a known anti-Hindu activist. This is true even among some people in India: for instance, Annapurna Roy won Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, and dedicated her win to women and “the children of Gaza”, never mind the Hindu women, children and men being severely oppressed in Bangladesh right next door.There has been a massive spike in the anti-Hindu narrative online in the recent past; paradoxically because of their ‘model-minority' nature: they work hard, obey the law, pay taxes, and get ahead in life. Hindu-Americans likely have the highest per-capita income of any ethno-religious group in the US (Indian-Americans at large do). This leads to envy, especially as the economy struggles and you need scapegoats.That is reflected in attacks on the H1-B visa program, of which Indians are the biggest beneficiaries. There is the sudden imposition of a $100,000 “tax” on H1-B visas by President Trump. The net result of this is going to be an exodus to India and third countries, an echo of Idi Amin expelling Indians from Uganda.On the one hand, a good bit of America's competency in technology is supported by Indian engineers on H1-B visas (of course, there are Indian doctors and nurses and so on also on H1-B). On the other hand, US engineers don't have much bargaining power (compared to, say, US doctors), so they have been complaining about foreign-born engineers for decades.In addition to being part of the Trump Administration's pressure tactics on trade, the H1-B noise harks back to early 20th century anti-Hindu and anti-Indian prejudice, when racism and religious bigotry combined to oppress immigrants. A century later, same wine, different bottle. I wrote in January about the compelling cases of Bhagat Singh Thind and Vaishno Das Bagai. They were, like Chandra Nagamalliah, real human beings, not just some statistics. The murdered Charlie Kirk himself had explicitly called for reducing visas for “people from India”.But there is a bigger, more general problem: Hindus generally seek wealth, not political power, ie the old Guns vs. Butter debate. The problem is that if you don't have guns, the folks with the guns will take your butter. Hindus focused historically on wealth creation, and then were left flabbergasted when wave after wave of invaders came over the Khyber Pass or across the oceans, and just took the wealth.It is the same in the US now: Hindus seek material advancement, not political power. Even the Hindu elected representatives said very little about Chandra's tragic death. Vivek Ramaswamy, who had earlier emphasized his Hindu roots, was silent until prodded by online critics. Other prominent politicians were also quiet.But other immigrant groups have made substantial progress in capturing political power. As an example, the entire city council in Hamtramck, Michigan, is Muslim. In the UK, Pakistani-origin people are in positions of power. In Dearborn, Michigan, the Muslim mayor, on September 9th, told a Christian priest that he was an Islamophobe and effectively urged him to leave the city.Without political power, Hindus will be vulnerable. There will be sorry exoduses from various countries, and India should become the “nation of last resort” for PIOs. India should treat this as a version of the ‘1000 Talents' program that China used to attract its diaspora, and create ways to utilize their skills to support economic growth. That needs a lot of planning and can be a win for the country, however traumatic it is for individuals.Here is the AI-generated Malayalam version of this podcast, from notebookLM.google.com:1000 words, 20 Sept 2025, updated 23 Sept 2025 This is a public episode.

“All of the opposition that opposed me has no comparison to the opportunity that upholds me.” From that declaration, Mama Tree—Latrina Conaway of Treetop Grows Farm—takes us on a Detroit journey that's as raw as it is restorative. Mama Tree frames her half-acre East Davison sanctuary as “a space of reconciliation.” The land, she says, “taught me that I am a creator,” pulling her out of a “neo-colonized mindset” into an Indigenous-and-African-centered practice of food sovereignty: a 2,156-sq-ft hoop house, cherries, peaches, apples, and the sweetest collards at Detroit is Different's Collard Green Cookoff (yes, “60 pounds of collard greens” moved with love). As a wife and “mom of seven,” she's building policy-minded youth and cross-block coalitions from E. Davison to Hamtramck, because “we are in 48212… in a space of critical climate change,” and legacy means leaving soil, skills, and standards, not just stories. This episode is Detroit past-present-future in one voice: Black Bottom roots, 1990s survival, and today's climate-just, organic farming that heals body, spirit, and block. Tap in to hear how Mama Tree braids memory with movement so Legacy Black Detroit keeps growing—on our terms, in our voice, for our next generations. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

“To whom much is given, much is required,” Renata Miller shares her love of Detroit from four generations of Detroit love and responsibility. Miller roots her run for City Council District 5 in a lived archive of Legacy Black Detroit: East side summers “by the river,” Conant Gardens pride where her grandfather “laid bricks you can still read in Hamtramck,” and Black Eden pilgrimages to Idlewild. She honors a Mother who's “still a nurse at church at 76” and a Father, a Navy veteran and Detroit Fire captain, who raised her on union halls, service calls, and straight-arrow integrity. Miller is adamant that development must mean jobs and single-family dwellings for kids to have homes with a backyard. It's a conversation that braids Coleman Young era fights to Erma Henderson, JoAnn Watson, and Barbara-Rose lineage, then points forward: block clubs, church basements, and porch-to-porch organizing—“I'm a grassroots advocate; I'll be on the streets.” Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Shahram Hadian is the Founder of Truth in Love Ministry. He is a Christian pastor and a former Muslim. Shahram was born in Iran and came to America in 1978 to escape an oppressive Islamic regime. He committed his life to Jesus Christ in 1999. He has an extensive background not only as a pastor, but also as a former police officer, teacher, coach and servant leader in his community. This past Saturday pro-Islamic and anti-Israel protesters flooded Manhattan calling for "a global intifada." New York City is nearing an election in which an Islamist Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, is perhaps on the verge of being the mayor of the largest city in the United States. Further just recently exposed are Islamic city councilmen out of Hamtramck, Michigan being accused of election fraud. Minneapolis may be electing a Muslim mayor. In Illinois there is body camera footage of an arrest of a Muslim woman for reportedly assaulting a man she claimed was "Islamophobic." She also indicated the police should "bow down to her and listen to her orders." In Tennessee a man by the name of Mohamed Mohamed is being charged for allegedly raping an unconscious woman in front of a church. In Boston a member of a Palestinian group was arrested for vandalism and possession of a hoax device. His mother was also arrested for assaulting a police officer. Meanwhile there are significant endeavors underway to bring peace with a number of Islamic nations. What is going on? It's important for us to understand Islam's advancement.

Creative communities, on one hand, offer spaces for connection, self-expression, and profound meaning-making – all awesome things. But on the other, particularly in scenes built around music and nightlife, they can become entwined with cultures of substance use, creating environments that are difficult, even dangerous, for those navigating addiction or seeking recovery. So how do you build support within those communities? How can the very tools of culture – the music, the art, the shared experience – become instruments of healing and connection for those who need it most? And can you create spaces that are genuinely welcoming, that meet people where they are, without demanding they leave behind what shapes their identities? On your Daily Detroit for Wednesday, April 9th, 2025…. My guests today are wrestling with these questions, not in theory, but through practice, on the ground in Hamtramck, Michigan – a dense, diverse city within Metro Detroit known for decades as a center of music and culture. Joining me are Christopher Tait, the founder and director of Passenger Recovery and a longtime musician, and Joshua Lange, the station manager for their community radio station, WHCK, have built something unique. Passenger Recovery started by supporting musicians trying to stay sober but has grown into a broader community recovery organization that uses music and the arts as pathways to support. Their radio station is, in many ways, an audible extension of that mission – creating community, reducing stigma, and offering resources over the digital airwaves.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable, we'll discuss all the latest in the presidential race. Was Trump's McDonald's day silly or shrewd? Is Trump in good shape in the polls? Why is Kamala Harris' "joy" balloon deflating? Hamtramck, Michigan is the only city in the U.S. entirely run by Muslims. Its Mayor has now openly endorsed Trump, along with a prominent Dearborn, Michigan Islamic Center Imam endorsing Trump. Muslims for Trump? Hispanics? Black men? Why/how is Trump making inroads with these groups?
