WCMU had the privilege of hosting Here & Now host Scott Tong this week.
The NPR midday news show airs 1-3 p.m. on WCMU every weekday.
On top of broadcasting from our studios here in Mount Pleasant, Tong was on the ground reporting.
He went with WCMU Reporter AJ Jones to Saginaw to speak with voters about the upcoming mid-term elections. You'll be able to hear their conversation on a bonus episode of the podcast tomorrow morning.
On this episode, you'll hear Tong's chat with WCMU's Emma George-Griffin about her latest reporting on a variety of agriculture issues across central and northern Michigan.
Also on the show, how to protect yourself from the wildfire smoke that has enveloped Michigan; the controversial Line 5 tunnel project is closer to reality after state agencies issued key permits; health officials say Michigan's extreme heat this week is making an ongoing cyclospora outbreak even more concerning.
