Movement, Detroit’s long-running techno music festival made its way back to the city last month. Dynamic sounds and energetic tempos could be felt miles away from Hart Plaza as massive crowds danced their way through Memorial Day Weekend.

This year, the film was screened at a pre-party to the music festival, ringing in the vibrant celebration of techno. “Most people don’t get a chance to see their lives before their eyes until a near-death experience. So I’m totally happy to see these things. These friends, family members, everyone in front of my face,” said Craig.

pWotD Episode 2550: 2024 NFL draft Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 152,115 views on Thursday, 25 April 2024 our article of the day is 2024 NFL draft.The 2024 NFL draft is the ongoing 89th annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players. The draft is being held around Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit, Michigan, on April 25–27, 2024. The Chicago Bears held the first pick in the draft, traded from the Carolina Panthers, who had the worst record in the 2023 season. The Bears selected USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first pick, which is the first time they selected first overall since 1947.This draft saw six quarterbacks selected in the first round, the most since 1983. This draft also saw seven wide receivers taken in the first round, the most since 2004. In all, 23 offensive players were chosen in the first round, the most in the "common draft era" (starting in 1967, when the NFL and American Football League first held a joint draft). The previous record of 19 was first set in 1968 and tied in 2004 and 2019. Also, the first defensive player was selected 15th overall—by far the latest for such a selection. During the common draft era, the latest position for the first defensive player selected was 8th in 2021.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 05:34 UTC on Friday, 26 April 2024.For the full current version of the article, see 2024 NFL draft on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Salli Neural.

Yesterday, I went to the North American International Auto Show, known to locals here as the Detroit Auto Show, or just the Auto Show.  And it reminded me of a common question I get from podcasters - when should I release my new episodes?Now, whether you release, weekly, biweekly, monthly, whatever, the key to growing your show is consistency.  As your show grows, your listeners will learn when to expect new content - whether that's the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month, or every Wednesday morning, whatever.  We are creatures of habit.The Detroit Auto Show was always in mid-January, usually when it was about 0 degrees  here in Michigan. It sucked, but we were used to it. In 2019, they decided to move it to the summer or fall, where it could become a hybrid indoor-outdoor event.  Seemed like a good idea.  But then the pandemic happened, and this week's auto show ended up being the first since January 2019.I checked it out with some friends yesterday, and it was pretty meh.  Was it cool to have monster trucks at Hart Plaza downtown? Sure, I guess.  Inside, it was fun to drool over exotic Corvettes, Mustangs, and concept cars.  And there were the ridealongs to check out the acceleration in the F-150 lightning electric, as well as the off-road capabilities of the Bronco and Jeeps.   But the show seemed quiet.    Was it, as one friend suggested, the fact that people have way more going on in September than in the dead of winter?  Maybe.  But when people think of the Auto Show, they think of January.  Now, this could be a great event again if they can get more buy in and participation from car companies,  and if they get the public used to the idea of it happening in nice weather.  But it's going to take time.   The pandemic gave them a reset, but now they have to build a new habit from scratch.  That's why it's important to be consistent with your podcast release schedule.Amazon Music celebrated two years of featuring podcasts on its platform.  If you don't use it, don't feel bad.  They boast a whole 0.7% of podcast listening.   But putting your show on there is as easy as giving Amazon Music your RSS feed.  And it's free, so why not?Could we be one step closer to using copyrighted music?  YouTube is testing out a program called Creator Music, that will allow you to either purchase a use-license for commercial music, or enter a revenue share with the artist.  It's still in Beta, they're hoping to launch in the US later this year.   So it's a baby step, but if it works, that could provide a blueprint for podcasters.  Via PodNews: https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/20/youtube-announces-creator-music-a-new-way-for-creators-to-shop-for-songs-for-use-in-videosAre audio ads more effective than video ads?  Well, yes, according to a press release from Mars Media Group, linked in today's show notes, via Podnews.  They claim a 25% revenue increase for audio ads over video.  The reason, they suspect, is with so much screen time, visual ads just become more clutter.  They also say that audio ads, in their research, haven an 85% listen-through rate.  Pretty impressive. https://podnews.net/press-release/audio-ads-mmgOn Medium, Adam Rostad says you should stop buying ads on big podcasts and, instead, create your own podcast for the same investment- or less, I might add.  Among his other reasons, the "skip" button in your podcast player, podcast ads aren't forever, and honestly, listeners just crave that human connection. More: https://medium.com/@a.d.rostad/3-reasons-you-should-stop-paying-for-ad-space-on-podcasts-e5bc7ce93f30What was the first podcast you listened to?  For me, it was Serial.  Well this week, a judge quashed the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, ordering a new trial.  He's been released from jail and is on home confinement, pending his new trial.  That's at least in part due to the power of a successful podcast.Until next week, stay healthy and stay safe. Lata!

Michael, Logan & Michelle return for the final time this season to cover the London & Detroit legs and say goodbye to Amazing Race 31. In this episode: Are we pleased by the winners? Logan’s terrible prediction skills come back to bite him. How experienced were the final three? Why did Phil forget a U-Turn? How short-sighted was ganging up on Nicole & Victor? What was different about this England leg? Why is picking up a taxi in the UK illegal? Is Dover Castle well-known for code breaking? Michelle claims to have predicted a quiz. How do we know the Knowledge? Which body of water should you swim in in London? Why did we never notice how unstable skiffs are? Why was the Camden Market task predicted as a Double-Battle? Why did Phil whisper? How was Detroit so heavily spoiled? What crimes have been committed recently? Why did Colin & Christie run with a bag in the finale? Rachel's job list has a twist. Would we want to do the face-first abseil? Did we see a Colin & Christie blow-up? Michelle forgets to listen. How could Hart Plaza have been so much worse? Was there a decoy team? How long were the teams at the final challenge? How close was the ending? What impact does Colin & Christie winning have? Will we look back on the season fondly? Michael drops a bombshell. We answer your questions. Can a good winning team save a season? What have we actually learned about these teams? Why did Colin & Christie not narrate the season? Which team displayed the first sign of madness? Who would we pick for an All-Winners season? The final quiz ends in controversy. We eulogise the season. Will we be back for Australia 4 or Season 32? There’s a final “Where in the World is Logan Saunders?” And what are our plans for the rest of the year?   Thank you for listening all season – we’ll be back over the rest of the year with some special episodes!

Comeback City – Episode 19 – Hart Plaza

Comeback City – Episode 19 – Hart Plaza The post Comeback City - Episode 19 – Hart Plaza first appeared on PodcastDetroit.com.

This week, we welcome in two of Robert's oldest friends, Skrimps and Shizmansk. The duo join the guys as they talk about Jack White's legacy as a Detroiter, the State of Michigan claiming that Flint is not utilizing the money provided to fix the water and we do a brief overview of the upcoming Motor City Muscle Festival in Hart Plaza. Middle of the show is our August 2018 movie preview. This time around we look at Christopher Robbins, Alpha, The Happytime Murders, A.X.L, and Kin. We end the show with a primer for Season 7 of the Venture Bros, which premiers Sunday August 5th.

Dave Wait, Chairperson of Motor City Pride, talks about the upcoming festival and parade in Detroit. The annual event, which is Michigan's largest pride event, attracts over 40,000 people.

For this week's mix we have a Movement Detroit special edition. This is my take on the vibe of the electronic music festival that has taken place at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit since 2000. I have personally attended every year since 2001 and it has had a huge impact on my musical tastes and development. While the festival has changed over the years it has managed to retain a core uniqueness when compared to other festivals. The organizers (now the 10th year managed by Paxahau) have struck a delicate balance between commercial sustainability and artistic integrity. This mix is made up of tracks either by or remixed by artists on the lineup for this year's festival. It starts out more tech-house and slowly works it way through the vibe of the festival. The ending I like to explain as a festival goer's exhaustion induced hallucination that they traveled back in time to the early days of the festival :-P Enjoy! Tracklisting: Adam Beyer - Take Me Away (Nic Fanciulli Remix) Matador - Dinksys Kyle Geiger - Glitch Johannes Heil & Len Faki - Maniac Ellen Allien - Funkenflug Der Traume Andres Gil - Modulated Thing (Andrei Morant Remix) Joseph Capriati - This Then That (Coyu Remix) Project 313 - Null (Project 313 Version) Andrei Morant - Trash Talker (Justin Kase Remix) Joseph Capriati - Psycology Adam Beyer & Par Grindvik - Seq 2-Turn Hans Bouffmyhre & Kyle Geiger - Inwards Andrei Morant - Finite (Original Mix) Richie Hawtin - Richard Harvey 002a-B1 Adam Beyer - Discipline
