GAYLORD, MI -- In this special 10th anniversary episode of Behind the Mitten with Amy Sherman and John Gonzalez, we reflect on a decade of exploring Michigan's vibrant culture, food, and travel destinations.
On this shiow - EPISODE 667 (listen below) - we are are joined by Paul Beachnau from the Gaylord Tourism Bureau to discuss the growth of Gaylord, the community's spirit, and the exciting winter activities available in the area, like winter rafting.
The episode highlights memorable experiences, the importance of community support, and the unique charm of Gaylord's "all outdoors" mantra.
Amy says:
"I can’t think of a better way to kick off the new year, and a new decade, with our best adventure buddy, great friend, and awesome co-host Paulie B (Paul Beachnau) from the Gaylord Michigan Tourism Bureau. He’s the perfect example of what’s happened over the years with BTM….work contacts become friends, who become family."
She added: "Thank you to everyone who has listened, to our radio affiliates for believing in us not once, but twice, to each and every guest who joined us and shared their stories, and to the power of RADIO, which still exists, and is awesome."
Gonzo says:
"This a very special show for us. Thanks to Paul Beachnau, Christy Walcott, Barry Owens and all of our friends in the Gaylord community who make us feel so welcomed every time we visit the area. It's like a second home. We hope you enjoy the show."
He added: "Thanks to everyone who made this little podcast grow into more than just a radio show. As Amy said, we consider you all family. We can't thank you enough."
