It’s not always easy to stay informed on what’s happening in northern Michigan, so I am grateful for this engaging, informing, concise and well-produced podcast!
I don’t always catch the local news on IPR in the morning, so having this podcast is the next best thing. And if I miss a couple of days in a row, I have a full-blown podcast to listen to! The story choice and reporting are excellent. I appreciate the investigative reports like the Antrim County voter roll issue, and well as the human interest stories. Always worth a listen. I feel fortunate to have such a great local public radio station. Thanks to the hardworking staff at IPR.
Glad you are back on a daily basis!
