Three conversations

Bear Creek at the Huron-Manistee National Forests
Bear Creek at the Huron-Manistee National Forests

This week we have three conversations we think you need to hear.

A lawsuit against Benzie County in federal court alleges that sheriff’s deputies could have prevented a murder. We hear from the victim’s son, who is bringing the case.

And, federal job cuts hit close to home. A conversation with a Cadillac woman who lost her job at the Forest Service.

Also, in his career as a freelance trumpeter, Interlochen alumnus Aaron Smith has played for TV and film, in the pit orchestras of national touring musicals, even backed up Beyonce. Now, he’s talking to us about his career.

And, the tragic turkeys of Suttons Bay.

That's all this week on the Up North Lowdown from Interlochen Public Radio.

Listen to the latest episodes of Points North:

Max Copeland is the local weekday host of All Things Considered on Interlochen Public Radio and the producer of The Up North Lowdown, IPR’s weekly news podcast.
