A black and white portrait of April Baer--a white woman with brown curly hair and a white blazer. The photo is against a green and blue ombre background. Text on the photo reads "Stateside with April Baer. Weekdays at 3pm and 8pm. On demand on your favorite podcast platform."

Today on the show, an update on the Ford Fathom, Ford's new all electric truck. Plus, an acoustic brother-sister duo that reps their Michigan roots hard; and from The Dish podcast series, a lesson in Turkish flavors from a Kalamazoo couple running the city’s only Turkish restaurant. 

GUESTS:

  • Jamie LaReau: automotive reporter, Detroit Free Press
  • Nolan and Karleena Kelley: brother-sister duo behind The Rusty Snails
  • Halil and Fatma Dursunoğlu: owners of Ayasofya Restaurant in Kalamazoo
