    A complete “Mismatch”
    Different. Interesting. Entertaining. Varied. Historically correct as far as I’ve been able to investigate. Fantastic reporting. Passionate story-telling. Wonderful guests who are factual parts of the stories. Not your mother’s podcast, that’s for sure! I love Roger Weber’s voice; his tambour and phrasing are professional and easy, his voice makes me want to listen attentively. No other podcast out there has a better voice behind the microphone. If I were ever to meet him in person, I would beg him to record a long series of bedtime stories to help calm and soothe me after a crazy day of adulting in our fast-paced society. Thank you so much, Graham Media Group and WDIV-Detroit, for bringing us this wonderful podcast!!

    There are few investments of time that give me as delightful a return as time spent with Mismatch. The stories are captivating, offbeat and unlike anything I've found in the pod sphere. Roger Weber's storytelling is concise and colorful.

    Really love the interesting stories and topics this podcast presents. The narration keeps the listener engaged and as the episodes are short (>30 minutes), subscribing and listening to these on the way to work or whenever you have some spare time is easy.

    A delightful break from everyday news
    This podcast is very interesting, informative, and entertaining. Every episode I have listened to has given me pleasure and a better understanding of a topic I never knew much about. This is well worth listening to.

    Refreshingly insightful
    I've only listened to 2 stories but this is about people.It is not political even though Nixon is in one of the interviews.It is about people.It is written well, with good audoble and a pleasant narrative voice.I am tired and fed up with politics. This gives me something else to cogitate.

    Anchorman voice
    I like the stories but hate the host’s overly anchorman voice.

    Unbelievable
    I love this show! As I sit and listen to it, I think everybody should listen to it because it’s so entertaining and informative and well-done; it’s just that I like people to be happy as I happen to be at any moment:) Please, season two!!

    Bravo!
    Enjoyed the Dodge and Fordlandia stories twice on WUOM today. Both stories were wonderfully thorough, balanced and touching. I choked up trying to tell my wife about the Dodge tragedy and who’ll ever know why a rich guy was playing with dynamite? Excellent production that painted vivid pictures as only radio can. I’ll plan a trip to Meadowbrook and Greenfield Village soon.

    Short and sweet
    I enjoy Roger Weber's Mismatch stories. They are short, detailed, intriguing pieces of history or current events. Similar to the well-loved "Rest of the Story"... Just wish there were more! I guess it's seasonal...

    Roger Weber is great!
    A a Detroit native and podcast addict, this is top notch. I subscribe to more than 100 different podcasts and after seeing a tv commercial for Mismatch I had to check it out. I was very pleasently surprised. Always enjoyed Roger Weber on WDIV; and this podcast doesn't disappoint. Love learning about Detroit history. Keep up the great work, and look forward future episodes.

    Treat yourself to these stories on your way home from work
    Take a break from the usual news reports about politics and crime on your way home from work and listen to these entertaining stories about Michigan and an assortment of interesting people. These mini-documentaries are amazingly well-produced, and Roger is one of the finest story-tellers in America.

    C yates Thank you for giving us a bit of Detroit history little talked about or known. Roger, I love to hear stories on the radio, audible book, and really old radio show. You are now giving us stories of Michigan, stories close to home and some that warm my heart..... I’ll be waiting for more!!! C Yates

    Worth a listen!
    When I started, I wasn’t sure if this was going to be historical or historic fiction, but it grabbed me right away without even knowing what I was signing up for! Well worth a listen, most definitely
