Your soundtrack to discovering Detroit. Music, arts, food and what’s happening (that’s actually worth your time).
Hosts Amanda LeClaire, Ryan Patrick Hooper, Rob Reinhart and Tia Graham will guide you through a playlist of new and iconic music while introducing you to the people that are creating and influencing Detroit culture — from musicians and chefs to poets, filmmakers, visual artists and storytellers.
The CultureShift team will help you navigate what to do each week with a curated calendar of events and spotlights on the most interesting places to visit in our region. And because it’s live, you’ll have a chance to interact with the show each day.
