Food Fight Returns: Pumpkin Donut Edition | Week of October 3, 2025 | wsg Gary Gatzke

This week on Currently, Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) joins Christal with updates on two big local stories: Cherry Capital Airport’s record-setting year and the traffic headaches at West Senior High.

Support for Currently comes from West Shore Bank, committed to the well-being of our community, and from The Coin Slot Arcade Bar in Traverse City — a chill spot to unwind with pinball, drinks, and friends.

Later on, it’s time for another round of Food Fight! Gary Gatzke returns to the table as the crew samples pumpkin donuts from three Northern Michigan favorites—Gallagher’s, Peace, Love and Little Donuts, and Waters Edge Sweet Tooth—paired with cider from Buchan’s Old Mission. From donut puns to fall food rivalries, it’s a taste test you won’t want to miss.

Currently with Christal Frost is a Compass Local podcast, produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
