On this episode of Stateside, we heard about a new reporting collaboration between Michigan Radio and Planet Detroit that looks into how Michigan communities are preparing for ever increasing intense weather events caused by warming temperatures. Then, a Michigan director and author shared about his new book about growing up in Detroit's Chinatown. After that, we were informed about a new program designed to help tribal businesses. We wrapped with Stateside podcast producer Rachel Ishikawa telling us about the people she met at a peace rally in Dearborn over the weekend.
