Detroit Player – Motown, Wine, Techno, Tigers and more

Detroit? Motown! Few American cities conjure up images in the head so quickly: Detroit is Mo(tor)town, America's Motor City – and, as the home of Motown Soul and Detroit Techno, a fixture for music fans. But the largest city in the US state of Michigan is much more than that, says US expert Philip Grimm in an interview with Meine Reise host Florian Hölzen.

After a long hiatus, it has celebrated a remarkable comeback for ten years like a phoenix rising from the ashes – now one of the safest city centers in America! Is it surprising? Grimm takes an audio stroll through Detroit, an hour's drive south of Lake Erie and describes the many highlights south of Lake Huron: specialty talent, charming architecture, a winery in the middle of town, Detroit Tigers baseball games (yes, tickets available!), an old converted radio station. And overnight stays in other unusual hotels and… and… and!

Yes, Detroit is a great starting point for a trip through Michigan (there's an extra podcast about the Great Lakes state from My Journey USA!). Curious about the metropolis that shaped America like no other city? Then go to the current podcast My journey is America Listen!
