Radio recap (2/18): Looking back at U-M's win at Ohio St and ahead to Friday vs. Michigan St
This post is unlocked and available for all readers
A couple quick notes on schedule stuff before getting to this week’s radio recap. First — Sam and Ira were off for Presidents Day on Monday, so I didn’t have my normal Monday appearance on WTKA. But I did join them on Tuesday to get y’all some content, and I’ll share that appearance below. One of the big reasons I wanted to make sure I got on the radio this week: I won’t be around next week. On Saturday, me/the wife/the kids are all traveling internationally for seven days and I’m planning on being fully unplugged, so that will lead to a little bit of a content gap for the final week of February. I plan on doing on more Q&A on Thursday before heading out and I also have a Michigan hoops newsletter post that I’ll send out either late Wednesday or early Thursday. But that will be it until March 1st, when we get back to the States. Then I plan on being all in on Michigan’s March Madness run, which will hopefully go on for weeks. Thanks for your understanding — it’s going to be my first time really unplugging in years and I’m very much looking forward to it.
And with that, here’s this week’s radio recap from my appearance on The Michigan Insider with Sam Webb and Ira Weintraub on the newly rebranded The Big 1050 WTKA in Ann Arbor.
Audio from that appearance — along with a timestamped topic guide that covers what was discussed and when — can be found below.
