Detroit's DIY documentarian of music and culture, Steve Barman (of MCR-renown) debuted his live/filmed talk show a few weeks ago at the Alger Theatre. Now he's settling into the CAID for a season of episodes featuring interviews with artists, community personalities/provocateurs and activists and live performances from local bands (and various other exhibiting talents)

Watch Episode 2 - but stay tuned here for the post of Episode 3 and the debut of Episode 4
