Episode 73: Summiting Mt. Lansing: Four Questions with Kevin McKinney 11.03.2021 48:47

When the pop-up book is written about the story of Resch Strategies, Kevin McKinney will get his own chapter. Kevin was our first landlord. For some, that might be enough, but Kevin adds to that a 40-year career between the Michigan legislature and the Lansing lobby corps. He’s led McKinney and Associates since 1991. Today, we bring back “Four Questions,” and we talk to a friend, colleague, and de...

Episode 65: Hall of Famer - Four Questions with Kathy Wilbur 19.11.2020 55:19

We kicked off season four of the podcast with the idea of asking the same four big picture questions to interesting Lansing people. We could have asked Kathy Wilbur 400 questions. Kathy is the Senior Vice President of Government Relations at Michigan State University, but this is just the latest stop in an amazing career. We ask her four big questions (and a few little ones), and then top it off,...

Episode 61: The Museum of Advocacy - Four Questions with Steve Young 24.09.2020 58:15

New season. New feature. New guest. We kick off season four of the Cold Oatmeal Podcast with Four Questions for long-time, recently retired Lansing lobbyist, Steve Young. We were lucky to catch Steve before his weekly trip to Sam’s, and he didn’t disappoint with his stories and perspectives from a successful career lobbying the Michigan State Capitol. Plus, a new season, a new intro. Joe plants a...

Throwback Thursday: "Pipes McGavin," aka Bob Olson 10.09.2020 32:26

Our summer vacation is coming to an anticlimactic close, so we’re leaving it to Joe to bring us home with his pick. Bob Olson, championship golfer, renowned professional voice talent, and FOCO (Friend of Cold Oatmeal) is our encore guest.

Throwback Thursday: The Weatherman 27.08.2020 59:35

Laura is about to have a baby boy, so she gets to pick this week’s encore episode, and she’s picked a good one (This episode is loaded!). We talked to Ahmad Bajjey, the award-winning meteorologist from Flint’s NBC25, in February of 2019… back when all we had to complain about was the weather. Ahmad is awesome, and we learned so much! Also awesome is Joe’s run-in with a skunk and his introduction t...

Throwback Thursday: Mikenzie Frost 13.08.2020 37:51

Today, in our latest Throwback Thursday encore episode, we say good-bye and best wishes to Mikenzie Frost. Mikenzie is a tireless TV journalist covering Michigan politics who visited the podcast last fall. This week is her last in Michigan. She’s heading off to a new gig at Fox Baltimore. Thanks for your work, Mikenzie. Good luck and be sure to pack your mug!

Throwback Thursday: Sal the Skunk Guy 30.07.2020 52:55

Nikki’s turn, and Sal the Skunk Guy it is! We talked to Sal Palombo of Michigan Animal Control back in February. By far one of the most fun guests we’ve had on Cold Oatmeal, and it’s a good pick too because a family of raccoons threw a midnight dance party on Matt’s roof this last week. Better call Sal for the second Throwback Thursday episode of the summer.

Throwback Thursday: The Pilot 16.07.2020 48:54

We were so little! This is our first Throwback Thursday podcast of the summer, and it’s Matt’s pick. We go back to the very beginning: the pilot episode of Cold Oatmeal with Zach Gorchow of Gongwer News Service. Zach is the full-fledged Executive Editor and Publisher of Gongwer now, and we like to think this pilot episode sent him on his way. Even though it was our first, it's one of our best conv...

Episode 60: That's a Wrap 02.07.2020 28:47

Today, we drop anchor on season three of the Cold Oatmeal Podcast. We drift about recapping our favorite moments and guests of the passed 20 episodes. We’re looking at you Jean Doss, Sal the Skunk Guy, Hypnotist Man, Chad Livengood, Laura Webber David and Charlie LeDuff. Then, Matt and his pandemic lie. It’s the season finale of the Cold Oatmeal Podcast.

Episode 59: Cold Case Mysteries 18.06.2020 34:17

Cheyna Roth’s first book, “Cold Cases”. Laura’s intro streak continues. Three months of home workin’.

Episode 58: Pandemic Radio 04.06.2020 49:24

If you held five people hostage and made them participate in a podcast, what would it look like? THIS PHOTO! Wait, no. That’s not how this is supposed to go. How do you run a statewide, daily radio program in a pandemic? Yeah, that’s more like it. The Cold Oatmeal Podcast is back, and today we talk to a great friend and an even better talent, Laura Weber Davis. Laura is the Executive Producer of S...
