April 20, 2026 ~ Full Show: Michigan politics hit a critical moment as lawmakers wrestle with the state budget and razor‑thin margins in key gubernatorial and Senate races. On All Talk with Kevin Dietz, Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall joins the show to explain what’s happening behind the scenes in Lansing, while political strategist John Sellek breaks down why every vote now matters more than ever. State safety failures also take center stage as Detroit News reporter Craig Mauger reveals how long‑standing warnings about Michigan’s aging dams went largely ignored — with serious consequences. On the international front, Stars and Stripes Middle East reporter Lara Korte provides the latest developments in the ongoing war in Iran and what it means moving forward. Rounding out the show, Free Press columnist Neal Rubin highlights this week’s Bookstock event, and Kerrie Mitchell Campbell‑Mabins is honored as this week’s All Talk All Star for her leadership at the DPSCD Foundation.
