  • S6,E51: Enjoying a Michigan Christmas in Saginaw (Dec. 21-22, 2024)
    2024/12/23
    SEASON 6, EPISODE 51

    This weekend we wish you Merry Christmas from Saginaw!

    We are so grateful to our friends at WSGW for having us, and for legendary radio host Mr. Art Lewis for joining us. When we say legendary, we really mean it, Art has been sharing his love of Saginaw on the airwaves for over SIXTY YEARS. He lets us in on what makes this community so special, and reveals a little part he played in a lovely little holiday song about the mitten.

    The arts are alive and well in Saginaw, and if you've been downtown you've seen the fabulous giant glorious Shine Bright Saginaw Mural Project. We visit with Thor Rasmussen from the @saginawartmuseum and The Temple Theatre to hear about other cool things happening around town, including their last show of the year on December 28 when comedian Desi Banks comes to town.

    We get asked all the time if there are still regional food specialities to be found around Michigan, and we can confidently say YES. What will you find in the Saginaw region? Our friend Maria Coss, who's family owns the popular Maria's Mexican Restaurant in town, tells us the story of the puffy taco, an absolutely delicious and decidedly local, way to enjoy this popular dish.

    We hope you'll tune in! Find our affiliates at https://www.amyandgonzo.com/

  • S6,E50: The best Michigan small towns for the Holidays (Dec. 14-15, 2024)
    2024/12/19
    SEASON 6, EPISODE 50

    On this show, Amy Sherman and John Gonzalez pick some of their favorite small towns in Michigan, especially during the holidays.

    Lewiston - A Talley Burger at the Talley Log Cabin Bar or a fish fry at the Lewiston Hotel is reason enough to visit, but in a winter season, the local snowmobile culture returns for frolicing good times.

    Holly - 50 Miles northwest of downtown Detroit, it's the other up north for those in SE Michigan. Along with great shopping and the Holly Dickens Festival, the annual Holly Dazzle light show and Renaissance experience is back through Dec. 31.

    Christmas - In the UP of Michigan, this small town has a way with getting you in the spirit with its natural wonder and beauty. Don't expect big light shows and productions, it's a simple way up here. And yes, you can get postcards stamped with Christmas on it. You just have to go to nearby Munising.

    Croswell-Lexington - From the Horse Parade to beautiful shops, it's always a lot of fun in the Croswell and Lexington area.

    Behind the Mitten is Michigan's premiere radio show and podcast, celebrating 10 years in 2025. Learn more about Behind the Mitten at amyandgonzo.com.

  • S6,E49: Why Treetops Resort is the perfect winter destination (Dec. 7-8, 2024)
    2024/12/19
    SEASON 6, EPISODE 49

    GAYLORD, MI - This weekend we take you slope side at Michigan's Most Spectacular Resort, Treetops!

    Centrally located just minutes off of I-75 in Gaylord, Treetops has just received record breaking amounts of snow this week, and first chair ran on Thursday (Dec. 5, 2024). It's a winter wonderland here!

    We'll learn about what's new at the resort this year from general manager Barry Owens. Treetops is celebrating their 70th year of skiing, and Owens shares a little about the unique ski culture at Treetops (think low-key) and about how the resort is focusing on those beginning skiers, with their Cool School ski packages, as well as more experienced snow bunnies with the opening of two new runs.

    Snow making is a very big deal at Treetops, where it is considered both an art and a science. Even when they get dumped on, Brad Jacobsen, Director of Flake Making at Treetops and his team are constantly making and moving snow to create the perfect conditions for you to enjoy. It's super interesting how it all happens, plus Brad tells us about his big rig, the giant snow cat that he gets drive around when he's grooming.

    If we are visiting Treetops, you know we aren't going to miss a chance to see what's happening in one of our favorite towns, so we bring our buddy Christy Walcott on from the Gaylord Michigan Tourism Bureau by. The downtown elk herd awaits you, as does unique shopping in this Alpine-inspired village. Christy likes to eat just as much as we do, so she has some great restaurant and coffee shop recommendations.

    It's time to go all outdoors. It's time to embrace winter. It's time for Treetops!
