Creative Coast

 

Interlochen Public Radio will air editions of the new podcast "Creative Coast," Friday evenings at 6:00 p.m. this summer. This twelve-part series explores the stories of creative entrepreneurs producing new ideas, interests, inspirations and innovations in northwest lower Michigan. 

 

The podcast is produced by Airloom Media, founded by journalists Tommy Andres and Maria Byrne. Creative Coast is a Traverse Connect Creative Chambers program funded by the Michigan Film and Digital Media Office, an office of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. 

 

The series premieres July 10, with the first episode, “A Theater Under the Stars” featuring Erin Anderson-Whiting and Kit McKay, co-founders of Parallel 45 Theater.  Upcoming podcast episodes can be found here.
