Here & Now Host Scott Tong broadcast from WCMU this week

The NPR midday news show airs from 1-3 p.m. every weekday on your local WCMU radio station and our livestream.

On top of using our studios here in Mount Pleasant, Tong was also on the ground reporting in Michigan.

He went into the field with WCMU Reporter AJ Jones to talk with voters in Saginaw, among other places in the region. Their conversation on Here & Now is this week's bonus episode.
