    • Society & Culture

“Behind the Mitten” is Michigan’s premiere travel radio show and Podcast, and it has more than 430 episodes. It is co-hosted by veteran journalist John Gonzalez and longtime chef & beer expert Amy Sherman. The show has been recognized by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters as Best in Category.

On this podcast, Amy and Gonzo head back to one of their favorite places - the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and they talk about snow, trails and burritos!

First they stop at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge near Copper Harbor to talk to Chris Guibert, who is the Outdoor Activities lead. A professional photographer who visited many years ago while on assignment, he shares his personal story about how he settled in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Learn more about lodging and activities at https://keweenawmountainlodge.com/.

They also interview Jennifer Perez, chief meteorologist at WLUC TV-6, who shares her passion for weather -- and all that snow -- in the U.P., and how a Florida girl ended up so far North. Learn more about her at https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/authors/Jennifer.Perez/.

They also reconnect with their friend Dave Lawrence, owner and operator/head chef/ dishwasher at Rodeo Mexican Kitchen in Houghton. Amy and John talk about their love for his fresh salsas. Learn more at https://www.burritorodeo.com/.

The show ends with John and Amy reflecting on their recent visit to the Laurium Manor Inn, and then talk to Visit Keweenaw's Brad Barnett of some of the area's best restaurants, including a new sushi spot and the longtime favorite The Ambassador. Learn more at https://www.visitkeweenaw.com/.
