Stateside for Monday, November 30, 2015

  • Michigan Radio sports commentator John U. Bacon gives us an update on Big Ten football.

  • Ever since Detroit made history by being the largest American city to fall into and climb out of bankruptcy, writers and reporters have been weighing in with their take on the city's story. Writer and Detroiter Aaron Foley wants to give visitors and newcomers a dose of Detroit realism with his new book How To Live In Detroit Without Being a Jackass.
     
  • Oscar Wilde died 115 years ago today. It's long been thought that he passed due to late-stage syphilis, but Dr. Howard Markel joins us to discuss some new insights into the writer's death.
     
  • Gabe Klein joins us to talk about how the public and private sectors can and should work together to transform Detroit into a 21st-century city.
