march madness

Michigan State University mathematician Albert Cohen tells us how we can use statistics to fill our March Madness brackets.

On this shamrock-filled episode of Stateside, we discuss the NCAA basketball bracketology as we prepare for March Madness. We also revisit a conversation with a Detroit-based poet and visual artist whose book explores the boldness of Black Detroit. Lastly, we engage in a conversation with a professor who seeks to expand our understanding of the individuals who influenced American country music.

First, a look at litigation against University of Michigan protesters. Then, the experiences of migrant women in Michigan. Plus, a statistical way to fill out your March Madness brackets.

Today, we talked basketball ahead of tonight's Sweet 16 game of Michigan State versus Kansas State. Then, a conversation about how ketamine — a hallucinogenic drug with origins in Detroit — might be used to treat a range of mental health disorders. Plus, a special visit to a Romulus collage artist's studio.

March Madness is coming back to Detroit.
