This week: Northern Michigan needs housing, but adding it is complicated. And Senate hopefuls weigh in on the environment. Plus, some love for the Lions.

We're talking about housing in this episode. It's a big problem that affects most of us in northern Michigan — some personally, others indirectly.

Have a story about housing you want to share? Or do you just want to weigh in on the issue itself? Send us your thoughts.
