Today my guest is Chris Gethard. He's the host of the podcast Beautiful / Anonymous, which tells beautiful stories from anonymous people in a most interesting way. Each week Gethard opens the phone line to one anonymous callet — and he can't hang up first, no matter what — and he doesn't know where the conversation will go. Anything can and does happen, and a live show is coming to Hamtramck this weekend as part of the Motor City Comedy Festival. More on the Motor City Comedy Festival: https://motorcitycomedyfest.com/ Also some brief news around town: There's a massive strike at GM. UAW workers want a better contract that makes up some of the ground they gave in leaner times. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan wants city council, then voters, to approve a $250 million bond to fight blight ahead of schedule. And 20,000 defective streetlights in the city have been replaced, according to the Public Lighting Authority.
