"A Trip Down the Escanaba River"
(Central Upper Peninsula, Michigan)

There is so much wilderness to explore in the U.P. that it will take a lifetime to discover it all. On today’s show our good friend from Northern Michigan, Tod Poirier and his wife, Donna take us on a wilderness canoe trip down the Escanaba River. Then we are going to take a pasty taste test.

"Our First Keweenaw Adventure"
(Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan)

We take a look back when life was nothing but fun and every trip was new. This time we go back to the Keweenaw before it was the crowded place that it has become today. I think you will enjoy these tales from the past.

Save Public Media
Take a stand for the local stations and programs you love
Public media is facing multiple serious threats. The Administration has proposed eliminating federal funding in its annual budget request, issued an Executive Order to block support for PBS and NPR, cancelled grants that support the creation of children's educational programming, and plans to claw back funding approved by Congress.


Great Getaways is a television travel series that spotlights active getaway adventures across the Midwest and Canada with an emphasis on the outdoors. Host Tom O'Boyle travels to a variety of destinations and talks to the locals about vacation and recreation opportunities. Join us as we continue to discover more Great Getaways.


2023 was Great Getaways' 20th year on PBS and along with new shows we brought our viewers an occasional look back at those 20 years of fun. We get mail all the time from folks saying we have been watching you since the beginning and still enjoy every show. We are looking forward to our 21st year in 2024!
