The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown: Song 18 — Claire from Ann ArborHey, it's jD. And welcome to the wide open middle of the countdown — that beautiful, feral terrain where deep cuts go to become legends and personal faves start to collide with consensus picks.This week on The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown, I'm joined by one of our most thoughtful and eloquent membersHIPers: Claire from Ann Arbor. We talk about discovering The Hip as a millennial from the U.S., falling hard thanks to Hockey Night in Canada, and how a steady diet of CBC and her dad's hockey tapes led her straight to 50 Mission Cap. (That's right — before she even knew the song, she knew the legend of Bill Barilko. That's parenting done right.)But what really makes this one hit different? Claire's lived experience as a disabled fan navigating concerts, fandom, and feeling safe in the crowd. Her reflections on inclusivity, identity, and finding community through The Hip are honest, funny, moving, and — in true TTHTop40 fashion — a little nerdy in the best possible way.We're not just counting down songs here. We're collecting stories. Claire's is one you'll be glad you heard.

Today on your Daily Detroit, a conversation about what happens when a state starts pushing back on one of its greatest challenges? After decades of decline, Michigan is seeing some positive population growth — particularly among young adults. My guest is Hillary Doe, Chief Growth Officer for the state of Michigan. Now, "Chief Growth Officer" might sound like pure bureaucratic jargon, but in this case, it represents a real shift.  It's a story of targeted investments, a focus on community building, and an understanding that attracting people is about creating a place where people want to be. It's also a check in from a year ago, when we last talked to Hilary about the progress and the work to do. How do you reverse a brain drain? What does it take to make a state a place people choose? And can a state really change its narrative? There's still a lot of work to do, but it looks like Michigan and Detroit is starting to make some progress.
