Traversecityist

I’m a new resident to the area, but have been coming up to Glen Arbor, Northport, and TC my entire life—all the while having no clue how cool NoMi is outside of the tourist spots! Nibi has been my favorite episode so far because of the respect it pays to Native Nations and our reliance on the nature fostering life around us, despite us. Very interesting and unique topics and interviews I haven’t stumbled across anywhere else. Highly recommend for all Michiganders and Midwesterners. Thank you for the amazing listens!

To really understand the history and culture of the Traverse City region, you must listen to this podcast.

I love hearing these unique stories from my home state. Bravo!

There’s a place in northern Michigan, Benzie County, that captures spirits like none other. One was mine, captured 33 years ago and held tightly ever since. Another’s was Gretchen Carr, who was raised here. Gretchen prepared an episode of her podcast that finds that distinctive Benzie spirit in a natural foods restaurant like none other. Hearing all the voices I know so well. Learning the dimensions of the story she tells. Marvelous stuff. First time I came here in September 1990, as a young man, this county just reached in and held me. All those people you note are dear dear friends. This is just such a memorable production. We’ll done in every way.
