Packard Plant comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from August 2014 to December 2017.
Michigan Local 1 Invitation and Detroit Sightseeing
A formal invitation on parchment paper is delivered from the "Michigan Local 1" producer group, requesting a visit from the hosts. The discussion covers potential sightseeing locations in Detroit, such as the abandoned Packard plant and the old train station, while suggesting Ann Arbor as a better location for a formal meetup.
Donald De Gracia, a professor at Wayne State University, contributes $1,010.10 to become the show's new resident brain scientist. De Gracia's letter critiques the "philosophical pygmies" of modern science and offers a more worldly perspective from Detroit. He is knighted as Sir Don, King of Blackness in Detroit.
A personal anecdote about touring the ruins of Detroit, specifically the massive Packard Plant, and the reality of "hipster" reinvestment versus total desolation. This is followed by a final roll call of donors from around the world, including Australia, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
