🎙️ MI Michigan Story Comes to Life Tonight at The Lit!If you love the heart, humor, and humanity of the MI Michigan Story podcast out of Lansing, you’re going to feel right at home tonight at The Lit. The podcast—produced in partnership with WKAR Public Media at Michigan State University—celebrates the lived experiences of everyday Michiganders. Each episode features true stories told by the people who lived them: funny moments, unexpected twists, heartfelt memories, and the small but powerful experiences that make Michigan what it is.
Hosted by Robert Prince and airing the first Saturday of each month, MI Michigan Story has become a beloved platform for authentic storytelling across the state. It’s not true crime, not investigative journalism, not history lectures—just real people sharing real stories, with warmth, humor, and connection at the center.
And tonight, he's back at The Lit!!
