“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 former chef/beer expert Amy Sherman. The show has been recognized by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters as Best in Category.

This week's Behind the Mitten talks fall color forecast, learn about a place where you can literally roll out the barrel, and talk to a Michigan restauranteur who just won a major award. We are joined by Matt Kirkwood, meteorologist for WOOD TV 8, who lays out the timeline for peak leaf color across the state. Dave Cicotte, Director of Sales and Marketing for Brew Detroit discusses their partnership with Detroit City Football Club, and the special half-time activity that involves both barrels and jorts. Yes, jorts. Then Matthew Buskard, who owns local restaurants Bobcat Bonnie's, stops by. He was recently named one of Crain's Detroit top 40 Under 40, which is awesome and amazing.

This segment aired Sept. 17-18, 2022.
