Episode 44: Remembering Hugh McDiarmid, Sr.

Flippin the bird.jpg

When he died last month, words like “legend” and “icon” were used to describe Hugh McDiarmid, Sr.  Hugh was a political reporter and columnist for the Detroit Free Press, and for most of us on this podcast, his career spanned a time before ours.  So, we set out to do some learning and asked two of Hugh’s colleagues to talk about their friend.

Long-time political reporters, John Lindstrom of Gongwer News Service and Chris Christoff of the Detroit Free Press, are our guests.

Plus, new music from Westrin and Mowry, and Joe’s Christmas card.

It’s the Cold Oatmeal podcast.
