The Dish with Mercedes Mejia

First, we learned what the freezing cold weather means at shelters around Michigan. This especially cold and snowy winter has been brutal for Michiganders living outside.

Then, we discussed a new project that aims to stop postpartum depression before it begins. The project, based at Michigan State University, is called ROSE – Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials.

And we bring you the latest episode of It’s Just Politics with Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta: a conversation with Michigan's House Speaker.
