Lansing journalist Mickey Hirten joins us to share some of his recent reporting which includes stories on the upcoming "Maker Week" and on the capital city's healthy real estate market.

Most Current State listeners know Mickey Hirten as the associate publisher and columnist with the Lansing City Pulse and the former executive editor of the Lansing State Journal. But Hirten is one busy and enterprising local journalist. He also contributes regularly to the Greater Lansing Business Monthly.

Current State talks with Mickey Hirten about about this week's "Makers Week" events in Lansing and the state of the capital city's real estate market, which he says is healthy.
