“Behind the Mitten” is Michigan’s premiere travel radio show and Podcast, and since 2015 it has published more than 480 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 episode we travel to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to get more details about two big winter events in Febriary - Michigan Tech's annual Winter Carnival, and the Michigan Ice Fest in Munising, and we interview a couple passionate people about SNOW!

Season 5, Episode 4:
  • Our new friend, and new public relations and event coordinator for Visit Keweenaw, Jesse Wiederhold, kicks off the show. He shares some of his new favorite spots in the area, and his enthusiasm is infectious.


  • We thought that since until very recently the only area of the state with snow was the Kee, we should probably get a UP weather update from meteorologist Jennifer Perez from TV 6.

  • Feb 8-12 is the Michigan Ice Fest in Munising which attracts ice climbers from across the globe. Fest director Bill Whitman joins us to share the details.


BTM airs on radio stations across the state, and you can always find us as a podcast on your favorite streaming service.
