Welcome to Hilary Topper on Air. Today, I'm excited to welcome two incredible guests. First, we have Jon Voss, the executive director of the Mackinac Island Swim, a unique event that's bringing people together for fitness and fun while supporting an important cause. Joining Jon is Angie Morthland, co-president of the Mackinaw Woman's Club, the non-profit organization benefiting from this swim. We'll be talking about the inspiration behind the event, the fantastic work of the Woman's Club, and how this collaboration is making a difference.   Questions for Jon Voss   1 Jon, thank you for joining me today! Can you start by telling us a bit about the Mackinac Island Swim? What inspired you to create this event? 2 How long has the swim been going on, and how has it grown over the years? 3 Can you walk us through the event itself? What can participants expect, and what makes it unique compared to other swims? 4 What kind of response have you received from the swim community and participants so far? 5 How did you choose the Mackinaw Woman's Club as the beneficiary for this year's swim?   Questions for Angie Morthland   1 Angie, it's so great to have you here! Can you share a bit about the Mackinaw Woman's Club and its mission? 2 How does the funding raised from the Mackinac Island Swim directly support the Woman's Club and its programs? 3 Can you tell us about some of the key initiatives your organization is working on and how they impact the community? 4 What does it mean to the Mackinaw Woman's Club to be chosen as a beneficiary for this event? This show is sponsored by Russo Law Group, PlayTri, and Vimazi Shoes.

Take a ferry ride back in time to Michigan's Mackinac Island, the car-free destination in the Straits of Mackinac where the Great Lakes Huron and Michigan meet. Here, the streets are lined with Victorian-era buildings, and getting around is by foot, horse-drawn carriage, or bicycle. In 100 Things to Do on Mackinac Island Before You Die, experienced travel writer and photographer Kath Usitalo helps you explore this historic island. She is our guest on this episode.

Chicago — like so many other frigid American cities — can't seem to kick its dependence on road salt. Last episode, we talked about why chloride from salt is harmful to both our natural and built environments. So we spent some time looking around for a cold-weather community that avoids using it altogether. And we found one! A little community way up north: Have you ever taken a ferry — or a plane — to Mackinac Island? Today, we hear from Dominick Miller, chief of marketing at the Mackinac State Historic Parks, about how the island deals with snow and ice in the winter without laying down a single grain of salt. And it has a lot to do with the fact that cars have been banned on Mackinac Island for over a century.

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6neBm5HFRE After spending their tenth wedding anniversary at the Mackinac Island, Jackson and Rebecca are in a tragic car accident which leaves her in a coma for 6 months and Jackson dead. After she wakes up, she has to grieve the loss and this takes a toll on her. She meets Patrick when he comes to the school to unblock a toilet one of her students filled with sand. He feels familiar to her but she brushes it off until she goes to a church to attend grief counseling, the same church he is attending AA meetings at. They become close until she realises that Patrick was the reason for the accident. Get to know the writer: 1.. What is your screenplay about? Collateral Hearts is about how one navigates the complexities of grief, forgiveness, and healing after experiencing profound loss and trauma. 2. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Drama, Romance, Family 3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? I feel like in a world seeking empathy, forgiveness, and resilience, Collateral Hearts offers a timely exploration of the power of second chances and healing after unimaginable loss. As audiences resonate with universal themes of grief, addiction, and hope, this story speaks to the struggles and redemption many face today, making it both poignant and relevant.

Each year, we host our friends from Original Murdick's Fudge for the holiday season sharing their love for all things sweet on Mackinac Island, and beyond, with our listeners. As the original fudge shop on the island, Murdick's has been serving up sweetness for well over a hundred years, and yet continue to remain "fresh in" as Murdick's always says. We kick off with Original Murdick's owner and operator, Bobby Benser. We always love to hear what it's like on Mackinac Island during the cold winter months, and he always has fun stories to share. Yes, it's cold, but it's also magical. It's a true community here, but it especially shines in the winter and holiday season. Community involvement is very important to Murdick's and to the whole Benser family, with the Mackinac Community Foundation,Toys for Tots, and the Animal Shelter serving as some of their favorite charity partners. Mike Grisdale,the Marketing Director for Mackinac Straits Health System, as well as Director of the Foundation, stops by to share about the good work they are doing in the community thanks to partner's like Original Murdick's Fudge. Making fudge during the holiday season, which has been a more recent endeavor for Murdick's, has allowed them to increase their giving to the Straights Health System. According to Grisdale, Murdick's "is always there when we need them."We were so happy that our good friend Andrew and Nicole Doud could stop by, they are residents on the isalnd and own several very popular businesses, including Doud's Grocery, Doud's Pub and Little Luxuries of Mackinac. With three little boys, this is a very busy season for them, and they are so ready for it.

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we're talking about time travel, paradoxes, and finding a penny in your pocket. “Look, a penny!” Author Richard Matheson is best known as a master of the suspenseful twist. One of his most famous works, I Am Legend, has been adapted as The Omega Man, The Last Man on Earth, and the eponymous Will Smith version. For television, he contributed to Star Trek, created Duel and The Night Stalker, and penned some of the most famous episodes of The Twilight Zone. But one of his most enduring, and endearing, films is a low-budget romance starring Christopher Reeve (fresh off his turn in the tights as Superman) and Jane Seymour. The pair play a couple separated by sixty years but brought together by hypnosis-induced time travel in story that features a signature Matheson twist. We're checking in to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island to see if Somewhere in Time is worth the wait.
