In Episode 46 of **The Enthusiastic Life Podcast**, Brendan sits down with Emmy Award-winning Detroit TV reporter and longtime media personality **Hank Winchester**.
Hank looks back on his career at WDIV Local 4, life inside the Detroit news business, and what ultimately led him to step away from television and into a completely different chapter of his career.
He and Brendan also get into Hank's move into podcasting — from his successful run alongside Kelly Stafford on *The Morning After* to launching his own podcast studio and teaming up with longtime Detroit radio personality Spike for *Spike & Hank*, a new show that says it reached nearly 980,000 listeners in its first six days.
And, in true Hank fashion, there are plenty of hilarious stories and tangents along the way.

- What life is really like as a local TV reporter
- His experience podcasting with Kelly Stafford
- The evolution of personality-driven media
