Behind the Mitten is Michigan's premiere travel radio show and podcast. Celebrating 10 years, co-hosts John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman travel the great state of Michigan, taking you to tasty restaurants, must-visit breweries/wineries/distilleries, get away travel destinations and more. They share the stories that make Michigan awesome.

On this episode they travel to Mackinac Island for a taste of fudge and Main Street businesses.
  • Segment 1: Meet their good friend Susan Wilcox Olson, who brings along Original Murdick's Fudge master fudgemaker Carnell Samuels, who for the second season is working side-by-side his 14-year-old son Zarrien Samuels.
  • Segment 2: Want to know how Island business owner Andrew Doud recruited a former college buddy to leave California to help him open Patrick Doud's Irish Pub? We talk to Dave Pantano, co-owner of the pub about how he fell in love with Mackinac Island.
  • Segment 3: One of the Island's coolest boutique shops is Little Luxuiries where you will find many Michigan-made products, as well as what Amy Sherman calls, awesome "tchotchkes." We talk to GM Ashley Nixon about what you can find at Little Luxuries.
  • Segment 4: Our friend Susan returns with Erin McMullen, a manager at Original Murdick’s Fudge, where we talk about the gift packages you can purchase year around, as well as new flavors. We even have time for "Beer of the Week," which is Patrick Doud’s Irish Ale.
