About Us: Our Hometown Flint, Michigan

This public interest podcast network was born in Flint, Michigan, a rust belt factory town.

The 1937 UAW sit-down strike occurred at this General Motors automobile factory.

The hard-working people of this gritty, blue-collar, working-class neighborhood fought for the dignity and fair treatment of General Motors factory workers. These courageous factory workers fought for and won a place in the American middle class.

We produce original programs that blend legal expertise, investigative storytelling, and deep Michigan history — including true crime analysis, environmental investigations, employee rights, and rich biographies rooted in Flint’s working-class culture.

Our mission is to preserve Michigan stories, examine the systems that shape our communities, and give voice to the people who define our industrial past and future.
