Interlochen Public Radio

Welcome to Studio A at Interlochen Public Radio.

I'm Amanda Sewell.

Classical guitarist Jason Vio has a lot of accomplishments to his name.

But I'll play the evocation real briefly before that, just as an intro.

There's an evocation before it.

Okay, can't wait to hear it in Studio A at Interlochen Public Radio.

? ? ? Thank you.

Thank you.

It has been a year now since biologists with the tribes began releasing fish in the waterways up north.

Interlochen Public Radio's climate solutions reporter Vivian La brings us an update now, starting at the edge of the Boardman Ottaway River.

I think this is one of the denser tanks anyway, as far as, other than this one.

Small fish about the length of a finger wriggle in a net as biologist Shawn Lesk moves them into a bucket to weigh them.

If they do, they might join the US stockpile of apples poised to fight off future threats.

Interlochen Public Radio's podcast, Points North, gets into the juicy details today.

You mind getting that one off up there? Is that what you're looking at, yeah? Yeah, I'm dying to get that, but I don't wanna fall and end my day.

Oh, actually, there's a couple right there, yeah.

This comes after some mounting safety complaints at a local park.

Hull Park caused police to step up enforcement.

Interlochen Public Radio's Maxwell Howard reports.

If you haven't been to Hull Park in the last week or so, you might notice some changes.

[upbeat classical music] Welcome to Studio A at Interlochen Public Radio.

I'm Christi Lesperance, and we're welcoming bass baritone and Interlochen Arts Academy Interim Instructor of Voice Dr. Andre Peele into the studio, along with collaborative pianist Meredith Stehman.

We're so happy to have you here.

Oh, what a pleasure.

Thank you.

We are in Studio A at Interlochen Public Radio.

Today, we're talking with Dr. Andre Peele, interim instructor of voice at Interlochen Arts Academy, and we will be treated to another performance by Andre and Meredith in just a few minutes.

But first, I've got so many questions, but I think we should do it this way.

I'm April Bair.

Deer are altering forests all across the Midwest, so what does this one guy in Wisconsin want to do about it? Ellie Katz, with Interlochen Public Radio's Points North podcast, takes it from here.

As Dave is driving his side-by-side across his property, two familiar heads pop up out of the grass at the sound of us coming.

Oh, look, a fawn.

Thanks to the engineers who helped this episode's performances happen.

Up north right now, Michiganders are celebrating all things literary with the Festival of the Book in Harbor Springs.

That got Interlochen Public Radio reporter Astrid Code thinking about famous authors who spent time in Michigan, including Ernest Hemingway.

The Hemingway family had a summer cottage in northern Michigan.

Astrid went to Petoskey to walk the streets and sit in the very seat where the writer sat at a local bar.

I'm April Baer.

We're listening today to the Interlochen Public Radio podcast, Points North, all about a Michigan woman's life-changing paddle.

Let's pick up where we left off in Cheryl's story.

It was about two in the afternoon.

Welcome to Studio A at Interlochen Public Radio.

I'm Emma Stadelmann.

Playing for a live Studio A audience today is Zarya, an exciting emerging ensemble originally formed at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.

You're listening to Studio A at Interlochen Public Radio.

We just heard Zarya playing the first movement from Mozart's Serenade in C Minor.

Now, you're the first woodwind quintet in nearly 30 years to win the highest honor at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition.
