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.

One of the most common pieces of listener feedback we get is why are we often positive about Detroit? Why don't we generally cover mayhem? And how can we think Detroit and Metro Detroit is a place to live? Often times, the criticism is strongest from the people who are here. Devon, Norris and Jer talk ask instead, why wouldn't you want to be optimistic about where things are headed? If you're looking for reasons to feel good about the region, or just want to hear us hash out why we do what we do, this conversation about perspective, progress, and pushing past the cynicism is for you.

Pull up a chair, and listen to two old friends talk about Metro Detroit. I recently was a guest on the IT in the D podcast a bit back with Bob Waltenspiel. As always, we don't agree on everything - but we've known each other through the podcasting world for many years. Bob, through IT in the D events, they've gotten countless people jobs; thrown a bunch of networking events, and more. He went to Wayne State in Detroit, is often in the city and works in the city.. but lives in the suburbs. His podcast, IT in the D, has been on the virtual air pretty much weekly for more than a decade talking local tech, local geek culture, and have fun along the way. You can find IT in the D at ITintheD.com, and wherever podcasts are found. Me and Bob are a few years apart in age, come at things from different perspectives, and saw different phases of the city and region. From days as a DJ, to dive bars, to changes we've seen over the last couple decades. Obviously, there are so many more perspectives than ours. Think of this as more of a fun trip down memory lane.

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.

Locally, the Hands Off protests filled the sidewalks of Woodward Avenue with thousands of people, running from the DIA to Little Caesars Arena and back on Saturday, April 5. They also popped up across Metro Detroit - from Ferndale to Wyandotte - and in many cities across the country. Not only did we go, we talked to people on the streets of Detroit. We discuss the wider things that are happening that are directly impacting Metro Detroit, Michigan and the nation at this crucial time. We get into some thorny issues: Why a lot of Black people are sitting out of protests in general, to generational differences around hope, to what's at stake in a greater sense.

On today's show, I sit down with Francis Grunow, the guy behind the Greater Detroit Windsor Project. We dive deep into thinking about a bigger future for our area – not just the city, not just the suburbs, but the whole metro region including our neighbors across the river in Windsor. Francis challenges us to ask "Why not?" Why do we sometimes limit our own thinking about what's possible here? How do we build a future where the entire region thrives? When you look down on Metro Detroit and Windsor from space at night — you don't see city limit lines, you just see clusters of light where people live and work — showing how interconnected we really are, even if we don't always act like it day-to-day. We talk about how we often get stuck in our own bubbles (city vs. suburb, or even suburb vs. suburb) but how things like the economy, history, and family ties link us all together. Francis argues that if we can embrace this connection and start dreaming bigger together, we can unlock huge potential for everyone. His Greater Detroit Windsor Project is all about sparking that conversation, gathering info with a regional view, and getting people to imagine a more connected and ambitious future. It's a really thought-provoking chat about shifting perspective and building a better future for all of us in the Greater Detroit Windsor area.

The Jackson Home, originally in Selma, Alabama was a crucial place in the fight for true freedom for African-Americans. It's been moved here to Metro Detroit at Greenfield Village in The Henry Ford, so that it can be preserved, celebrated, and the story told. So I went to Dearborn and talked with the Curator of Black History at The Henry Ford, Amber Mitchell. Dr. Sullivan Jackson and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson offered their home as a sanctuary and strategic hub for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Rights leaders as they planned the marches that ultimately changed America. From the Jackson's living room, Dr. King and others watched the “We Shall Overcome” speech by President Lyndon B Johnson… publicly backed voting rights. The Selma to Montogomery March was planned there, and all of this culminated with the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. So get all the details. Why it's here. What's happening with the progress. What kinds of programming are they thinking, and of course, the importance of this work being done today.
