Radio recap (9/17): Thoughts on Michigan's change at QB and a look ahead to USC
This post is unlocked and available for all readers
Yesterday, I was on the air for my weekly radio appearance over at The Michigan Insider with Sam Webb and Ira Weintraub on the newly rebranded The Big 1050 WTKA in Ann Arbor. I’m sending this newsletter to share audio of the appearance, plus a timestamped topic guide of what was discussed and when.
In case you missed it, my Michigan-Arkansas State column went live yesterday morning. Premium subscribers can read that HERE. It’s a ~4,000-word look at what went down over the weekend and some of Michigan’s biggest lingering issues heading into conference play.
Looking ahead, here’s the content plan for the remainder of the week (please note that I’ve decided to combine my Stock Watch and Power Rankings into one newsletter going forward):
Today: Radio recap
Wednesday: Stock Watch + Power Rankings
Thursday: Subscriber Q&A
Friday: Week 4 viewing guide (picks/predictions)
Saturday/Sunday: Michigan-USC coverage
All newsletters besides the radio recap are behind the premium content paywall. If you’re a free subscriber and are interested in upgrading to a premium membership, you can explore those options at the bottom below:
And with that out of the way, here’s this week’s audio:

(FYI — the format of these embeds have changed a bit with the recent revamp of the show. This embed from their website should work similarly to how I used to post the audio native to this site, but if you have issues accessing it, don’t hesitate to shoot me an e-mail and I can help troubleshoot it for you.)
