    The Story of William Beaumont

    The Story of William Beaumont

    William Beaumont, namesake of the William Beaumont Hospital chain has a controversial and literally stomach-churning claim to fame. On this episode of Great Lakes Confidential, Mike simultaneously educates and nauseates Angie on the story of the Father of Gastric Physiology that began with an accidental gunshot wound on Mackinac Island.
    And true to Mike's character, the music that closes us out is Gwar's Billy Bad Ass.
    If you'd like to contact the show, leave us a voicemail at 313-489-0739 or email us at GreatLakesConfidential@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!

Great Content

Hi Guys, love the content! Recently moved to Onaway and just getting acquainted with the area lore. Your show is a great resource! We have an episode on the Christmas tree ship in the works as well. Mike - Wicked Garden Podcast

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
