  • Good topics, but…

    Nothing is more annoying than the first five minutes of idil chitchat and giggling. Had high hopes but likely will have to unsubscribe. Just wish they would tell the story and limit the back and forth.

  • Great show !

    I stumbled onto your show because I searched “Edmund Fitzgerald “ - that was a great episode so I kept listening and really enjoy the show and the hosts. I’m not even from Michigan but I do love it - I used to go out there every summer for the Gus Macker basketball tournament ( that would make a great episode!) hope there are more planned for 2023

  • Fantastic podcast from Michigan

    I just learned about this podcast earlier today from the Abandoned Michigan group (who even knows the real name of that group?) and I’m loving it! Angie and Marty have great banter, but still stay on topic. It’s just fun!

    I have fallen in love with this show! Marty and Angie have a wonderful rhythm between them but still make me feel as though I am a part of the conversation. As a native of Michigan, it is just cool to know and understand more about these locations within driving distance of my own home. Excited for more from Great Lakes Confidential!

  • Great for my attention span!

    Angie is truly an amazing and beautiful person. I feel so lucky to know her in real life, it’s like she is in the room with me when I have the podcast on! Ive never met Marty in person but if Angie thinks he’s swell, so do I!! The banter in this podcast is great, very warm and welcoming from both of them. There are so many fun facts as well, and things to learn! Being a Michigan native I often talk along and banter back as if they can hear me, since I’ve been to most of the places they talk a... more

  • Original

    Not my podcast, but a podcast I support (in case people notice my name twice).

    The reason I needed to back this show was because Angie had such an original concept, and because anyone who’s been lucky enough to spend time with her and Marty know how great their chemistry is.

    The fourth episode really gives you a great perspective on their rhythm. I’m super excited for more.

    This is Michigan’s folklore and history. Some episodes will be super heavy, like the Northville Mental Institute ones. ... more
