About

You Have a Friend in Detroit is the podcast that explores the nooks and crannies of America’s most denigrated, celebrated, forgotten, important, decimated, resurgent city. Everything you’ve heard about Detroit is true. There are wastelands, and there are artisanal bakeries. There is crime, and there are concerts. There is unemployment, and there are the hardest-working, most creative people you’ll ever meet. You Have a Friend in Detroit tells the stories that are unique to Detroit, the stalwart city that captures the whole world’s imagination. You know all the words to our music, our innovations got you to work this morning, and you probably have a picture of us in your minds. But now you know someone in Detroit. You Have a Friend in Detroit is hosted by Jason Carr and presented by WDIV Local 4 and ClickOnDetroit.com.
