“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.

We start off this week with Gonzo and Amy going over the details for the 2022 Mackinac Bridge Walk, which takes place on Labor Day. From what to bring, what not to bring, and a few tips on transportation, BTM will help you be ready to knock this off your Michigan bucket list. Then, we revisit our segment with Shelby from the S.S. Badger and share their fall schedule. Our friends from Marshall stop by to talk about a few upcoming festivals, and the myriad of museums you can check out in this charming Michigan town. To close out the show, we discuss a few of our favorite ice cream spots from around the state that we've been visiting this summer. Let us know your top spot for ice cream and we'll be sure to add it to our list!
