On this episode of Stateside, Zach Gorchow of Gongwer News Service and Emily Lawler of The Detroit Free Press gave an update on recent developments in the Michigan Republican gubernatorial primary that have led to significant changes in the candidate field. Plus, we spoke to two organizers that are working on the biennial Allied Media Conference in Detroit about what to expect from this year’s event. Then, one reporter and one community organizer joined to discuss the possible outcomes from upcoming heat waves that are expected to hit Michigan this week, and Abrams Planetarium director Shannon Schmoll of Michigan State University provided insight on some unique summer stargazing opportunities that will be available to Michiganders this year.
