Deb Hart is an icon… a fixture on Lansing drive-time radio since she got into the business at the age 19.

Last month, she walked away from the radio studio for the yoga studio and the next chapter in her life.  Today, she’s our guest on the Cold Oatmeal podcast.

The Resch Strategies team is back, and we welcome in Kelsey Snyder, the youngest daughter of former governor, Rick Snyder.  Kelsey traversed her high school and college years with her dad running Michigan, and we talk with her about that.

Also, a surprise guest, a new segment, and a little announcement.

What do Marla Maples, Tom Arnold, and a Ph.D.-holding political scientist all have in common?  You are about to find out.

Well, we set out to stage a Burger King/Jimmy Johns intervention for our good friend, Nick, but ended up having a fascinating conversation with Chris Johnson instead.

Chris lives here in Lansing and is an international speaker, an adviser, health and fitness expert and Founder and CEO of On Target Living.

We are wrapping up 2018 with a bow made of whiskers, self-deprecation and insights from 8 years working with Rick Snyder and for the people of Michigan.

It’s an exit interview with Michigan’s out-going Lt. Governor, Brian Calley.

Chris Harkins, Lame Duck, and the Golden Turkey winners.  It’s either a really bad band, or the poultry episode of the Cold Oatmeal podcast.

Hey, it’s the Friendsgiving episode of the Cold Oatmeal podcast.

 Well, not really.  Because Friendsgiving isn’t a real thing.  It’s a fake thing.  But we are having some friends over today to talk about politics and to grade the job performances of others.  So, if Friendsgiving was a real thing, this might be close.

The election is over.  The campaigning is done.  The ads are gone. 

We talked about it here and wanted to bring a guest into the Cold Oatmeal studios to help us wrap it all up.  So, we invited a stand up comedian, of course. Dwayne Gill, the funny cop, is our guest today, and we don’t spend a minute talking about politics.

Kositchek’s is a men’s clothing store located in downtown Lansing, a block from the State Capitol building, that was founded the year the Civil War ended.  Yes, you read that right.

Whatever the business, if you can manage to last from Lincoln to Trump, you’ve got a story to share and David Kositchek will tell us some of that story today.

Anna Heaton just left arguably the high-profile spokesperson job in the State of Michigan. For the last few years, she’s been press secretary for the governor.

On today’s episode, her most memorable moments, how social media has changed the press secretary job, and a day in the life of the governor’s communications office.
