“Behind the Mitten” is Michigan’s premiere travel radio show and Podcast with about 500 episodes. It is co-hosted by veteran journalist John Gonzalez and longtime chef & beer expert Amy Sherman. The show has been recognized by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters as Best in Category.

On this podcast, Amy Sherman and John Gonzalez join Kent & Rob of the "Breakfast Flakes" morning show on WCFX in Mt. Pleasant. They preview this weekend's show, which is about Mackinac State Historic Park. (Listen to the full episode at 7 a.m. Sundays on CFX Today's Hits 95.3 and on the BTM Radio Network.

While on Breakfast Flakes, Gonzo and Amy talk about all the things you can do while visiting the Straits area. On Mackinac Island you can visit Fort Mackinac, Mackinac Art Museum and Biddle House. In Mackinaw City you can see Colonial Michilimackinac, Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park and the Old Mackinac Point Lighhouse.

While on the show, Rob and Kent like to include Gonzo and Amy in the topic of the day.

Today they test them to see if they can answer 10 questions (like normal listeners), and possibly win $100. #epicfail
