Food for thought in 3 minutes
Jack employs a matter of fact, common sense approach to his essays. He explores multiple aspects of mostly local (Michigan) issues and does not pander to any particular brand of politics. His comments are always well researched never fail to get me thinking.
Great example talk-radio and podcasting. Many Thanks to Jack and Michigan Radio for quality media in this age of overload.
