Today, we go back to school for “Open Government: 101” with professor Craig Mauger.

Craig isn’t actually a professor (although we learn he is a Hoosier), but he is pretty expert at wielding the old Freedom of Information Act request. He covers Michigan state government and politics for the Detroit News and has broken some pretty big news of late.

When the pop-up book is written about the story of Resch Strategies, Kevin McKinney will get his own chapter. Kevin was our first landlord.

Today, we bring back “Four Questions,” and we talk to a friend, colleague, and destination for solid advice.

Damon Rensing has been living MSU college sports for nearly 25 years. First as an all-Big Ten soccer player, then as assistant men’s soccer coach, and now 11-plus years as the head coach of the Spartan men’s team.

A couple years ago, he led the Spartans to the college soccer Final Four, the College Cup. Today, he’s on the Cold Oatmeal Podcast.

Where were you when things went so bad in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021? It’s one of those kinds of moments. People will remember.

Andrew Egger, reporter for The Dispatch, was at the U.S. Capitol that day reporting what he saw and recording who he talked to. Today, he’s our guest on the Cold Oatmeal Podcast.

One year ago, April Baer moved to Michigan to become the new host of Michigan Radio’s daily talk show, Stateside. What a year it’s been!

Today, April is our guest on the Cold Oatmeal Podcast. Year number two, clearly starting off huge.

One man, two very different lines of work: public opinion pollster and Big Band crooner. That’s Paul King. He’s president of ROI Insight, leader of the Rhythm Society Orchestra and our guest on this episode of the Cold Oatmeal Podcast.

Happy New Year! Chris Johnson, CEO of On Target Living, is back on the podcast. As always, he is a wealth of health knowledge. Breathe it in, people!

Today, we literally make Christmas dreams come true for a friend of the pod.

Gerry Rasmussen, artist, co-creator of an internationally syndicated comic strip, and drawer of the Resch Strategies holiday cartoon is our first guest, and Gerry is funny, charming, and awesome.

Steve Kershner has been heading up snow sports at Shanty Creek Resort and Schuss Mt. in Bellaire, MI for a quarter century. He’s seen a lot and skied a lot.

Today on the podcast, we shred the gnar and get deep in the fresh powder of Michigan’s coming ski season.

We kicked off season four of the podcast with the idea of asking the same four big picture questions to interesting Lansing people. We could have asked Kathy Wilbur 400 questions.
