Fascinating stories of our region, extremely well-told without hyperbole, melodrama, or being cute. Perfection, the way NPR used to be.
Description
There’s a spirit to the Great Lakes. Points North captures it through true stories of grit, wonder, and adventure alongside America’s inland seas. It’s part documentary, part road trip, part excuse to go somewhere interesting and poke around. New episodes every other Tuesday.
