Behind the Mitten is Michigan's premiere travel radio show and podcast.Episode 763Aug. 1-2, 2026Josh & Jase EpisodeOn this weekend's show, we look at the popularity of British social media influencers Josh & Jase, and how they have taken Michigan by storm. After arriving last winter and experiencing a good old-fashioned Pure Michigan winter and record snowfall, they returned in late July to soak up the sun and Great Lakes vibes.We go behind the scenes with the duo, revealing how their spontaneous, comment-driven approach fuels their adventure — and why their genuine reactions are contagious.Their journey isn't just about sightseeing; it's about capturing the soul of Michigan through the eyes of visitors who are seeing it for the first time. It's like how we do things at Behind the Mitten.We loved having them on the show.

There’s just one place to catch a wave outside Earth: Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. It’s the only other world in the solar system with bodies of liquid on its surface. And the waves there could reach heights of 10 feet. But future surfers will need to dress carefully; the surface temperature is almost 300 degrees below zero. Titan is half-again the size of Earth’s moon, and it has a dense atmosphere. Rain fills its lakes and seas with liquid methane, ethane, and nitrogen. The largest sea covers about 200,000 square miles – twice the area of all the Great Lakes combined. It could be several hundred feet deep. The Cassini spacecraft used radar to measure Titan’s ponds. It saw waves of no more than an inch or so high. But a recent study says the waves could get a lot bigger. Based on 20 years of observations of waves on Lake Superior, scientists built a computer model of how waves might work on other worlds. The model accounted for gravity, the pressure of the atmosphere, and the properties of the liquid. When the model was applied to Titan, it showed that even gentle breezes could whip up some big waves. But the waves would move more slowly than those on Earth – a slow-motion trip across the sea. Saturn looks like a bright star close to our moon the next couple of mornings. It’ll stand to the left of the Moon at dawn tomorrow, and the lower right of the Moon on Tuesday.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Safe Dividend Investing's Podcast #286 on August 1st of 2026.The current threats by the US to invade Canada encouraged me to reissue a book with the new title of  "The Fifty-First State - A Lost Alliance". I wrote this book 10 years ago when a devastating drought in the American Southwest was going to trigger the invasion of Canada to reroute the water in the Great Lakes. Now, the threat of turning North America into a battle ground no longer appears to be just an excuse to give  fiction writers something interesting to write about.In this podcast, I have a short excerpt from that book describing plans to repel the  invasion but the main theme  is showing you how to protect your life and your wealth by purchasing a second citizenship in a safe nation. If you were required to escape to a safe haven, it would also be wise to have converted part of your wealth to gold that could be drawn upon when you might not have access to income from your stock portfolio.Ian Duncan MacDonald Author and Commercial Risk Consultant,President of  Informus Inc                              2 Vista Humber Drive                               Toronto, Ontario                                Canada, M9P 3R7                                 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994                                   imacd@informus.ca

White Hurricane: The Great Lakes Storm of 1913In November 1913, two storm systems phased over the Great Lakes into a meteorological bomb sailors still call the White Hurricane, the Big Blow, and the Freshwater Fury. Hurricane-force gusts, 35-foot seas, and whiteout snow sank about a dozen freighters and killed an estimated 250 people — the deadliest natural disaster in recorded Great Lakes history.This Weather With Enthusiasm episode walks the meteorology day by day, the Lake Huron six-hour catastrophe, land impacts from Cleveland to Port Huron, and what a modern NWS/NOAA model reconstruction reveals about winds and waves the captains faced without radar, satellites, or shipboard radio.Chapters:• Cold open — three names for one storm• Mild November setup and the race to finish shipping season• The Pre-Storm (Nov 7–8)• Sunday's meteorological bomb (Nov 9)• Winds, fetch, and 35-foot seas on Lake Huron• Lake Carriers Association testimony• Ships lost and the human cost• Cleveland blizzard and shoreline impacts• Forecasting limits of 1913• Modern NWS/NOAA reconstruction• Lessons for Great Lakes November weatherMusic: “Our Names Engraved” by Blue Dot Sessions (CC BY-NC) — sessions.blueAI-assisted narration disclosed.#WeatherWithEnthusiasm #WhiteHurricane #GreatLakes #1913Storm #FreshwaterFury #BigBlow #LakeHuron #MaritimeHistory #NWS #NOAA #Blizzard #NovemberGale #Shipwreck #WeatherHistory #Meteorology #ClevelandSnow #BombCyclone #GreatLakesShipping #WeatherPodcast #HistoricalWeatherBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

We're doing something we've never done before: skipping the news, ditching the segments, and handing the whole episode over to our guests. That's how excited we are about this one. Josh and Jase — the British content creators who dove headfirst into Michigan in the dead of winter and loved it enough to come back — are here. We talked Great Lakes polar plunge, Mackinac Island, the Big Home, pasties, and why Midwest nice might be the most disarming thing one can experience in America. Fair warning: if Eminem is listening, Jase says it wasn't stalking.

Send us Fan MailEver wonder about those freighters on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland's Flats? Watching them navigate our crooked river is such a unique experience. More than 600 feet long, they share the shipping channel with recreational boaters, kayakers, and paddleboarders as they transport ore upriver to our steel mills. For this episode, Greg and I sat down with Kate Wells, Manager of Environmental Stewardship and Quality for the Interlake Steamship Company, to hear about the ship, sustainability in Great Lakes shipping, and the importance of this industry to our region. Later, we climbed (literally) aboard the Mark W Barker and spoke with Captain Alex Weber about life on board, what it's like to navigate the Cuyahoga, and maritime careers. The Mark W Barker is the newest in the fleet of ten vessels owned by Interlake Steamship. This second-generation, family-run company is based in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, and has the largest privately held U.S.-flag fleet on the Lakes. Interlake has been in business for over 100 years; today, it is one of the most efficient and environmentally responsible shipping companies in the industry, moving 20 million tons of cargo annually. While we were on board, we watched loaders fill the holds with taconite pellets to be delivered up the Cuyahoga to Cleveland Cliffs. Just one load could fill 700 train cars or 2,800 trucks, making it the most efficient way to transport raw materials to industry. Whether you are a "boat nerd", a Clevelander, or curious about the Great Lakes, this episode is a must. Learn more:About The Interlake Steamship CompanyAbout the Mark W BarkerMarine Traffic appGreen Marine certificationSupport the showFollow Eco Speaks CLE on LinkedIn, Facebook and InstagramContact - hello@ecospeakscle.com

Royal Caribbean has extended its suspension of ship calls to Labadee, its leased private destination in Haiti, through June 2027, citing safety concerns tied to conditions in the country. The decision cancels 62 scheduled visits in early 2027 across nine ships and reroutes calls to ports including Nassau, Perfect Day at CocoCay, Puerto Plata, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. At Port Canaveral on July 17, 2026, the Brevard County Sheriff's Office took six cruise guests into custody on outstanding warrants; no onboard misconduct or delays were reported, and all ships departed on schedule. And Victory Cruise Lines will add Erie, Pennsylvania to its 2028 Great Lakes Voyage aboard the 190-passenger Victory I and Victory II, with an inaugural call set for July 21, 2028.

Before dawn on Nov. 29, 1966, the Great Lakes freighter Daniel J. Morrell broke in two during a violent storm on Lake Huron.Twenty-nine men were aboard. Only one came home.Watchman Dennis Hale escaped onto a life raft with three crewmates. One by one, the other men died from exposure as the raft drifted through freezing spray, towering waves and two nights of darkness. Hale remained alone for 38 hours before a Coast Guard helicopter spotted movement on what appeared to be a raft carrying four bodies.In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we follow the Morrell's final voyage, the terrifying sight of its powered stern racing through the storm, the delayed search and the remarkable survival of the man who lifted one arm toward the sky.The End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind PublicationsThis episode includes AI-generated content.

Before Route 66 became an American road-trip icon, Michigan motorists were already following another ambitious highway south.In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we trace the history of the Dixie Highway, a sprawling early automobile route that linked Michigan with Florida beginning in 1915. Its eastern and western divisions crossed the Lower Peninsula, passed through communities such as Detroit, Waterford and Mackinaw City, and helped usher in a new era of tourism, roadside businesses and long-distance driving.We look at Carl G. Fisher's role in promoting the route, Michigan's push to become part of the system, the rough conditions early motorists faced, and the stone monument that once marked the highway at Mackinaw City.We also explain how the Dixie Highway predated Route 66 by more than a decade and how much of its route was later absorbed into numbered highways such as U.S. 31. Historic maps, postcards and photographs reveal a time when a “highway” could still mean dirt, gravel and uncertainty.This is the story of the road that pointed south — from the Great Lakes toward Miami — and helped change how Americans traveled.

Episode 290 of the Great Lakes Fishing Podcast brings together three of the most respected names in Lake Erie walleye fishing: Capt. Ross Robertson, Capt. Craig Sleeman, and Capt. Pete Alex. Recorded live at the Niagara Fishing Expo, this roundtable discussion is packed with practical advice that will help anglers catch more and bigger walleyes. The conversation goes far beyond lure colors and favorite baits. The captains discuss how to make better on-the-water decisions, when to make adjustments, why confidence and preparation matter, and how experience helps develop the instincts that consistently put fish in the boat. Whether you're trolling crankbaits, worm harnesses, lead core, inline weights, or spoons, you'll pick up valuable strategies you can apply on your next trip. You'll also hear: How each captain approaches finding and catching trophy-class walleyes. Why making small adjustments often outperforms making drastic changes. Lead core vs. inline weights and when each presentation shines. Where bigger walleyes position themselves in the water column. How Fish Hawk electronics help eliminate guesswork and make trolling more repeatable. The importance of preparation, education, and trusting your instincts on the water. If you're planning to chase Lake Erie walleyes this season, this episode is loaded with insights from three captains who spend hundreds of days each year figuring out what works—and why. Whether you're a weekend angler or a seasoned tournament fisherman, you're guaranteed to come away with ideas that will make your next trip more productive.

Sharon McMahon, America's government teacher, author of the number one New York Times bestseller The Small and the Mighty, and one of the most effective science communicators working right now, just on the government side joins us today. She makes the case for what types of people should run for office. The bulk of our conversation is about something I see constantly in healthcare comments: learned helplessness, the feeling that the system is too broken and too big and too entrenched to ever get better. Sharon's reframe is the one I needed to hear, this is not a volcano, it's a human-constructed system, and the abolitionists and the suffragists and the civil rights organizers all felt exactly as hopeless as we do, and they kept working anyway. We get into the Overton window, the range of what's currently politically possible, and why universal healthcare isn't in it federally right now, but state-by-state Medicaid expansion absolutely is, and why states function as "democracy laboratories" that can shift the national window over time. Sharon walks me through how to actually get a meeting with your representative, why joining your state medical society or specialty organization matters more than being one annoyed person on the internet, and how Emily Calandrelli got a federal law passed protecting nursing mothers at airport security just by having a big platform and a specific senator. We also cover the filibuster, the Electoral College (winner-take-all was never in the Constitution), the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, gerrymandering's embarrassing etymological origin, and Great Lakes shipping facts that Sharon would absolutely use to fill 24 hours on the Senate floor. My government teacher was a football coach. I am now remediated. Takeaways: Learned helplessness is the biggest obstacle to healthcare reform. The Overton window explains why federal universal healthcare feels impossible right now, but state-level progress doesn't . The most effective way to get a meeting with your representative is to call their district office, not their DC office. Joining a professional advocacy organization multiplies your impact dramatically. The filibuster is a Senate-only procedural rule that started as an accident. — Want more Sharon McMahon? @sharonsaysso http://www.thepreamble.com http://www.sharonmcmahon.com To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

China bans AI girlfriends, DeepSeek prepares its next AI model, SpaceX investors face a trillion-dollar reality check, Canada questions AI data centers, and Spotify deletes 75 million spam tracks. On Hashtag Trending for Monday, July 20, 2026, host Jim Love covers five major technology stories shaping artificial intelligence, big tech, and the future of digital platforms. China has become the first country to regulate AI companion apps, banning features that encourage emotional dependence while requiring AI chatbots to remind users they are software. The move comes as governments begin treating AI relationships as a growing social issue. Meanwhile, SpaceX has gone from a trillion-dollar valuation to renewed investor scrutiny over debt, losses, and whether AI-driven valuations across the technology sector are finally being challenged. Jim also examines reports that DeepSeek is preparing to launch its next frontier AI model. Following the success of Kimi K3, the bigger question may no longer be which company builds the smartest AI—but which company forces everyone else to lower prices. In Canada, opposition to new AI data centers is growing as communities raise concerns over electricity and water consumption. Even Ontario, home to abundant hydroelectric power and the Great Lakes, is beginning to question the environmental cost of AI infrastructure. Finally, Spotify says it removed more than 75 million spam tracks while introducing stronger protections against AI-generated spam, voice cloning, and fraudulent streaming—without banning legitimate AI-created music.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, officials and health experts expressed growing concern on Thursday about dangerously poor air quality across much of the northeastern United States and southern Canada, as a cloud of dense smoke from scores of raging wildfires darkened skies and irritated throats from the Great Lakes to New England. As the wildfires continued to burn, sensors that monitor the air quality index for millions of people recorded figures sometimes nearly twice as high as what is considered hazardous. Also the Mamdani administration wants landlords to pay for credit checks for rental applicants / audio from President Trump from Thursday night's speech on voter fraud and China's influence / 83% of the population believe they are being effected by fraud in the election system / the major networks choose not to carry the President's speech / audio from Senator Rand Paul on how easy it is to uncover fraud (i.e. a young man with a phone camera in Minnesota) / and the blinding insanity of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Circle August 4th on your calendar: Michigan is now the number one marquee primary matchup I'm watching. Mallory McMorrow is out of the race as of a couple of weeks ago, and what's left is a head-to-head contest between the Democratic establishment — or at least what's left of it — and the insurgent progressive movement. Yes, friends, it's Haley Stevens versus Abdul El-Sayed, and it's set to be a knockout fight.This really represents the first live test for the current Democratic Party. Can the progressive movement, with a more charismatic candidate and a high-energy, extraordinarily competent campaign, expand its coalition enough to win statewide? Or will it do what it's done in the past — hit a ceiling when the opposition consolidates?There's only one new clean head-to-head test: a Tavern Research survey from July 6th through July 7th of 2,211 likely Democratic primary voters. It found Haley Stevens at 42%, El-Sayed at 41%, with 17 to 18% undecided. That's a margin-of-error race, but it's the first time in a very long time that we've seen Haley Stevens up over Abdul. The same poll tested the old three-person field and found El-Sayed at 41%, Stevens at 38%, and the flagging McMorrow at five. In other words, when McMorrow disappears, the voters are forced into a binary choice, and they're making it more on the Stevens side than the El-Sayed side. But still: tight, tight, tight, tight, tight.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Because we live in reboot culture, this is essentially — coalitionally, at least — Bernie Sanders versus Hillary Clinton for a new generation. The Stevens coalition is exactly like Hill-dogs: older voters, Black voters, traditional self-identified Democrats, non-college voters, and on the Michigan side, Metro Detroit — particularly Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties. What's powering Stevens is Black voters. She's led El-Sayed consistently in almost every poll. Meanwhile, Abdul's coalition is younger voters, very liberal and progressive voters, college-educated voters, voters outside Metro Detroit, Democratic Socialists, Arab Americans, and Muslim organizing networks. He also has significant labor support, including the UAW endorsement, despite most UAW members being non-college educated, which would normally fall outside his coalition. A very strange world we live in.The one demographic that's going to decide this race is women. They're the biggest disputed demo in every poll we've seen. An April Glenn Gariff poll showed Stevens leading among women 29% to 17%. But in a June Mitchell poll, the exact opposite was demonstrated: El-Sayed led with women 51% to Stevens's 35%. So as we look at the rest of the polls from now until Election Day, keep an eye on the ladies. They're the majority of the likely Democratic primary electorate. If Stevens can consolidate older and Black women while also inheriting McMorrow's suburban women, she can win. But if El-Sayed's progressive and younger female support holds, his coalition may be large enough to break through.Which brings me to the latest front of this war. I don't know if it's being done to court women, I don't know if it's being done specifically on purpose, but the results are undeniable: El-Sayed and Stevens are in an out-and-out shooting match to be more cringe. For Haley Stevens, this isn't something she has to worry about. She's naturally gifted in this regard. She's awkward, she has a thick Great Lakes accent, and she speaks in this clipped, emphatic manner. On one hand, she is herself. She feels less like a polished Washington candidate and more like somebody who wandered out of a Detroiters sketch. Abdul El-Sayed has the opposite problem. He's clearly a charismatic, compassionate candidate, a strong communicator, and an aggressive counterpuncher. But if you're running against him, your job is to make El-Sayed scare the hos. I think his campaign has found a solution: make himself toe-cringingly embarrassing. My read — and this is analysis, not something the campaign has admitted — is that cringe is a form of inoculation against being defined as scary. If you're embarrassing, you can't be terrifying.So who's going to win? I'm an old-school guy. I tend to bet chalk unless I'm convinced otherwise. And while I very much believe El-Sayed has the better campaign, and I think he's the better candidate if we're just looking at raw talent, I'd still bet the Michigan coalition that usually wins. Haley Stevens is a suboptimal candidate, and I've counted her out at every step of this race. I thought McMorrow was going to win. That obviously didn't happen. So don't take my prediction for a whole lot. But Stevens doesn't really have to do anything but be her cringy self to get over the line. Meanwhile, waiting on the other side, smiling like the butcher's dog, is Mike Rogers. He nearly beat Elissa Slotkin in 2024, losing by only 18 to 20,000 votes, about 0.3%. This is supposed to be more of a blue-wave year, but Rogers is going to benefit from a fractured leftward coalition. After Stevens and El-Sayed spend weeks beating the hell out of each other, the question is whether the losing half comes home. If they don't, Rogers benefits.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:01 - Michigan Preview00:14:58 - Update00:22:04 - Trump's Upcoming Address00:25:40 - Reconciliation00:29:36 - Inflation00:32:37 - Interview with Bill Scher01:20:01 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

The vast majority of brewers we talk to for this podcast—and for the magazine—start out as homebrewers. And anyone who's listened to more than a few episodes knows how common it is to hear about how an influential brewer's journey started with a simple extract-based brewing kit. Making it easy for people to brew and enjoy beer at home is an important part of the craft-beer story—that's where the story begins for so many—and that's what this special episode produced in partnership with Pinter is about. Those old-school kits serve a purpose, but today there's a better way to open the brewing door for the next generation of enthusiasts. That's where Pinter comes in: The partnerships they've built allow fledgling homebrewers to make familiar recipes from breweries such as Lagunitas, Great Lakes, Chicago's Hopewell, Adnams in England, and more, thus creating even more connections between drinking craft and making craft. Executive editor (and our resident homebrewer) Joe Stange hosts this episode. Joe received a unit and brewed a test batch of Pinter's Lagunitas Sumpin' Easy recipe on it to get a feel; he was impressed with the results. Through the episode, Joe, Pinter U.S. CEO Paul Benner, and Pinter head brewer Will Kirkham discuss the need for pathways into brewing along with functional insights and ways that professional brewers can work with Pinter to build a more active customer experience.

Rafe looks into the question of Whatever happened to all the land that France used to hold in North America?In 1750, France held massive quantities of land in what is now the USA and Canada.  From the Gulf to the Great Lakes, from the Appalacians to the Rockies, and from throughout the St Lawrence River, the French flag had laid claim to approximately a third of North America.  And less than 35 years later, it was all gone.  And then Napolean got back a good swath of in in 1803 but then sold it to the USA for $15,000,000 just three weeks later.Where did it go?#newfrance #quebec #colonialamerica #bufnagle #frenchandindianwars #greatbritain #iriquois #stlawrenceriver #louisianapurchase #itisyoursifyoucankeepit*****As always, you can reach the Buf at bufnagle@bufnagle.com*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!

In this episode of the Mastering Rod Building Podcast, Bill Falconer talks with Roger Hinchcliff of Lamiglas and the Steelhead Manifesto about steelhead fishing, Lamiglas rods, and what rod builders need to know when building technique-specific steelhead rods.Roger shares how he got started fishing as a kid in Michigan, spending countless hours on the Huron River catching bait, reading water, and learning to fish for everything from bluegill and smallmouth to walleye, pike, and eventually steelhead.Bill and Roger discuss Roger's background in the fishing industry, including founding Steelhead Manifesto, building a large online following, winning River Angler of the Year in 2013, and his long career with Lamiglas, where he now serves as vice president.The conversation covers the differences between Great Lakes and West Coast steelhead fishing, including drift fishing, back bouncing, float fishing, centerpin rods, spoon rods, spinner rods, leader sizes, reel choices, and why steelhead rod length, power, action, and guide size should always match the technique and water.Roger also explains cold-weather steelhead fishing, including why larger guides help with ice, how anglers manage braid and mono in freezing conditions, and why sensitivity and line control are so important when fishing light leaders for powerful fish.The episode also goes into steelhead behavior, fish memory, color selection, fishing pressure, and why anglers should carry multiple presentations instead of relying on one bait or one technique.The episode also includes details on the 2026 Mastering Rod Building Seminar, happening August 14–16 at the Orange Beach Event Center at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama.

For a brief moment in the 1990s, Lake Champlain was known as the sixth Great Lake. The lake wedged between Vermont and New York doesn't quite measure up to the five Great Lakes. So how did this happen? Curious City partners with the Points North podcast from Interlochen Public Radio to bring you the story.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Chris Temple, Director of Communications at Visit Erie. Chris shares how Visit Erie has transformed its destination brand through an extensive research-driven process, positioning Erie as a four-season destination built around authentic experiences, outdoor recreation, and the lifestyle of the Great Lakes. We also discuss how strategic partnerships, community engagement, and thoughtful destination development are helping Erie build momentum while creating lasting benefits for residents and visitors alike. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Visit Erie approached a research-based destination rebrand that aligned with visitor expectations and community assets Why authentic storytelling and a clearly defined brand voice help destinations stand out in a competitive marketplace How Visit Erie creatively responded to the challenges of the pandemic by supporting local businesses and launching Erie Restaurant Week What major Bayfront redevelopment projects mean for Erie's future as a visitor destination and community gathering place How collaboration with other destination organizations strengthens media relations, marketing efforts, and shared success Why engaging local residents and content creators has become an important part of modern destination marketing How destination organizations continue to evolve by balancing visitor attraction with community quality of life Building a Brand That Reflects the Good Life Rather than simply creating a new logo or tagline, Visit Erie invested eighteen months in a comprehensive branding process grounded in research, stakeholder engagement, and visitor insights. Chris explains how the organization evaluated its existing positioning, identified its strongest assets, and developed messaging that reflects both the experiences travelers seek and the authentic character of the destination. The result is the "Good Life, Great Lake" brand, which captures Erie's unique identity as a place where visitors can slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the rhythm of life along Lake Erie. Chris shares how developing a consistent brand voice has helped Visit Erie focus on what truly differentiates the destination instead of trying to appeal to everyone. Turning Challenges into Lasting Opportunities Like destinations across the country, Visit Erie faced unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Chris reflects on how the organization quickly shifted its focus from attracting visitors to supporting local tourism businesses and encouraging residents to reconnect with the outdoor experiences available in their own backyard. One of the most successful initiatives to emerge from that difficult period was Erie Restaurant Week. What began as a creative response to support local restaurants during a challenging time has grown into a signature annual event that continues to expand each year. Chris shares how moments of adversity can become catalysts for innovation when organizations remain focused on serving both their partners and their communities. Collaboration as the Foundation for Destination Growth Throughout the conversation, Chris emphasizes that destination success is built through collaboration. From Visit Erie's long-standing involvement with the Mid-Atlantic Tourism Public Relations Alliance to partnerships that connect multiple destinations along travelers' journeys, he demonstrates how collaboration creates stronger visitor experiences while helping destinations learn from one another. Chris also discusses how Visit Erie's role within the community continues to evolve. New initiatives like the Local Creator Program invite residents to help tell Erie's story through their own perspectives, creating authentic content that resonates with both visitors and locals. Combined with the ongoing transformation of Erie's Bayfront, these efforts illustrate how destination organizations can strengthen community pride while building sustainable tourism for the future.

On this episode (481) of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, Garrett Hess, a colorblind photographer from Erie, Pennsylvania, talks with Matt Payne about building a creative practice centered around photographing the Great Lakes region, an area often overlooked by landscape photographers. They discuss how embracing local landscapes, weather extremes, and personal limitations like color vision deficiency can foster growth, uniqueness, and deeper connections to subject matter. Garrett Hess shares strategies for keeping local photography exciting, including studying microclimates, developing personal projects, and building a creative network. The conversation touches on the challenges of curating work for exhibitions, the emotional journey of making art close to home, and reframing one's relationship with the often-uninspiring places they live.

In the grand scheme of things, Lyme disease is a fairly new scientific discovery. It was first traced back to ticks in the late 70s and early 80s. The tick-borne illness can cause a rash, fever, pain, neurological complications, and even facial paralysis. It's spread by only two of the nearly 50 species of ticks in the United States. Historically, most Lyme cases were limited to a small region, including the Great Lakes area and northeastern US. But thanks to changing temperatures, animal migration and shifts in land use, scientists say tick territory is expanding. So what does that mean for Lyme disease risk? And do you have to be worried about it in your own backyard?Interested in more episodes about pests and parasites?
