“Behind the Mitten” is Michigan’s premiere travel radio show and Podcast, and it has more than 400 episodes. It is co-hosted by John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman. The show has been recognized by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters as Best in Category.

On this week's show, we take a trip to charming Marshall, Michigan, located along the I-94 corridor between Battle Creek and Jackson.

*This historic town has much to offer visitors, according to our first guest, Amy Peterson, the Director of Marketing for Choose Marshall.

*She is joined by Kimber Thompson, the Director of Tourism, and she gives us a rundown of upcoming events in town, including the very popular Marshall Blues Fest, which is happening June 25. Also, be sure to check out the FREE Marshall trolley which runs through downtown on weekends.

*History abounds throughout town, and Elena Gunther, Marshall's Historic Place Making Manager, discusses the eight different museums you can visit here.

*Finally, Dark Horse Brewing owner John Leone joins in, and shares how special Marshall has become to him as the new owner of this long time local and national favorite.
