It\u2019s something I probably should\u2019ve done a while ago, but here we are. I\u2019m super excited about it and plan on putting out plenty of content in the coming weeks as I get rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/the-michael-stets-show\/michael-stets-show-ep-1-ufc-brooklyn-and-nfl-confe\/embed?style=cover&amp;size=square\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Things have been really odd for me lately in regards to my career, especially since I was let go from SiriusXM Fight Nation on January 10. As you can imagine, after working there since 2015, it was a really rough day for me. Even though I was a part-time\/fill-in host, I had always envisioned growing with the channel and gaining more opportunity there. But, alas, that was not to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And things became even more difficult with the realization that for the first time since 2011, I didn\u2019t have an outlet to write or talk about combat sports. As for writing, I was penning freelance articles for Fightsports.tv during the last year, but that work dried up rather quickly, with my last article, a story on GLORY kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven, being published back in September.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been sorting through my feelings quite a bit the last week or so, and while I wasn\u2019t working my board operator shifts at WJR, looking for new work, or driving my wife Lauren crazy while pacing the house, getting the ax from SiriusXM served as extra motivation to start the new podcast. On Friday night around 11pm or so, I forced myself to head into the studio at WJR to record the first episode and I\u2019m so glad that I did. I\u2019m going to put them out as often as I can, and I plan on talking about different topics aside from face punching and football. I\u2019m definitely going to tackle some discussion on movies, TV and pop culture. And I\u2019m working on getting some guests booked for future episodes, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, podcasts require a ton of work and attention to detail, especially when you are a one-man crew such as myself. It\u2019s more than just turning on a mic and recording. There\u2019s preparing the show, editing and adding music once it\u2019s done, and so on. So it\u2019s going to take a lot of time to build it up and gain a strong following, but I\u2019m more than willing to put the effort into it. And confident it can eventual evolve into something special. So I hope you continue on the journey with me and help spread the word and share my content. It will be up on iTunes within the next few days, and it is currently available via <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ahsZ0rqP2EgcIZ9yWEf8e?si=rqUQ8jP3T0eQ88CYFjH7vQ\">Spotify.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for my Detroit Lions coverage for WJR, that\u2019s kind of convoluted so I\u2019ll try to explain as best I can. I was co-hosting the \u201cInside the Lions\u201d podcast for all of the 2017 season and part of this past preseason with Nate Atkins of Mlive.com. Unfortunately, prior to the start of the season, Nate could no longer do the pod, so I kept it going as best I could during this season, but I wasn\u2019t able to do one every week like in the past (Most recent episode <a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/detroit-lions-on-wjr\/inside-the-lions-with-michael-stets-ricky-jean-f-1\">here<\/a>). And my focus shifted toward contributing reports to the newscasts from Allen Park, in addition to my two weekly features for the \u201cLions Countdown to Kickoff\u201d pregame show. I may still record some Lions podcasts in the future, but for the time being all my focus will now shift to The Michael Stets Show.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to you all soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many of you may have noticed already via social media, I\u2019ve launched my new podcast: The Michael Stets Show.
