Michigan Moments is your passport to the people, places, and turning-point events that shaped the Great Lakes State. Hosted by Michigan writer and historian Michael Hardy, each bite-sized episode blends vivid storytelling, archival research, and evocative sound design to bring Michigan’s hidden past to life—from copper-boom boomtowns and vanished Great Lakes steamers to civil-rights flashpoints and small-town legends that still echo today.

Whether you grew up on the Sunrise Coast, vacation “up north,” or simply love a good story well told, you’ll find something to marvel at in every 10-minute journey. New episodes drop weekly and include:

• Narratives inspired by rare photo postcards, newspaper clippings, and oral histories.
• The “Bite-Size Michigan History” reel, a quick-hit recap perfect for your coffee break.
