Rick the manic logger has been coming into my studio almost weekly for over a year. We regularly open up the mic and I ask him questions about his strange rural life. His viewpoint is honest and nuts at the same time. I was surprised how much I related to this person who has been written off by much of society as crazy. So, I decided to put one of our many chats on the NCP podcast. Put on your seatbelt for this one, it's not like the others.

The founding director of Invent NMU talks with us about make believe, innovation, and direction. A must listen for aspiring entrepreneurs in Michigan looking to make their way to market with their idea and initiate the first steps in the 10-15 year "overnight success" grind.

The day of the taco is upon us and Mike tells his business story and talks food truck culture with BJ in this tasty conversation.

He moved from competitive basketball, to touring with the blues, to settling back into the UP to blow minds with his exploratory jazz songwriting and finely tuned chops. Professional musician Travis Swanson drops some knowledge, inspiration, and a couple live jams with his trio on this musical podcast.

A ransomware virus has found its way into the Marquette business community and has spread among synchronized computers including the office of The Marquette Chamber of Commerce. 906 Technology's cyber security expert Alex Robillard explains the nature of these harmful virus and offers some sound advice on simple precautionary measures.

John Spigarelli has been able to thrive professionally, while maintaining his born and raised Yooper status. He talks opportunity growth in Marquette, big career moves, and not missing resources right under our noses.

Dr. Jessica Thompson, an associate professor at NMU for environmental communication, gets the conversation going on climate change and the small steps we can take now to be a part of the solution. With the help of the Climate Adaptation Task Force, Jess explains how our community is at the ground level of making some substantive changes.
