Large text on the left reads ‘STATESIDE with April Baer,’ followed by the show times: ‘Weekdays at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.’ and ‘On-demand on your favorite podcast platform.’ On the right is a black-and-white photo of a woman with long wavy hair, wearing a light blazer, smiling slightly.

First, with government subsidies hanging in the balance in Congress, some Michiganders are worried about finding affordable health insurance. We sat down with Grand Rapids resident Rachel Dziabuda, one such Michigander, to learn more.

Then, Michigan author Angeline Boulley spoke with us about her third novel, Sisters in the Wind, set in a fictional tribal community in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Also, Michigan Public's On Hand explored the long term football rivalry between the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University. We spoke to Michael Rosenberg, senior writer for Sports Illustrated, and Tyrone Wheatley, former running back for the University of Michigan and current coach for the Wayne State Warriors football team, to get into the history of The Game.
