The Detroit Cast is a comedy podcast[1] based in Franklin, Michigan, hosted by Mike Wolters, Jay Boger, and Eric Fadie, and primarily discusses current events. The show was broadcast five days a week with a live video feed on youtube.com during the recording, which was then distributed as a podcast on iTunes. The last released episode was #1463 on 11/5/2020. After the most recent episode, the hosts stopped releasing new episodes, implying that the show was cancelled.

History

Long before the end of the Drew and Mike show, Mike Wolters had been building a home studio.[2] The idea was to continue doing the Drew and Mike show, and on the weekends put together a podcast that would not have any FCC regulations. After the announcement was made that the Drew and Mike show would be ending,[3] they started the podcast.

The DrewCast launched,[4] hosted by Drew Lane, Marc Fellhauer, and Mike Wolters. Episode One, simply called the D, M & M Show, was posted online and within 24 hours former bassist Tim Krukowski from the rock band Sponge joined to work on the audio for the show. After only 17 episodes, they moved to Detroit Sports 105.1 FM,[5]

To move the show to a weekdays format, a Kickstarter campaign was set up with a goal to raise $20,000 in 30 days. $45,000 was raised.[6][7]

On June 9, 2016, The Detroit Cast was honored by the city of Houghton, Michigan with the key to their city as well as having the day being named "Detroit Cast Day".[8]

The last episode aired on November 5, 2020.
