Fresh Coast Film Fest is coming to Traverse City | wsg Joe Beyer | Week of Oct. 24, 2025

This week on Currently, we're taking you behind the scenes of a brand-new festival coming next spring: the Fresh Coast Film Festival: Traverse City.

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

Arts and culture contributor Joe Beyer joins Christal and Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) to share how this beloved Marquette-based festival is bringing its mix of outdoor adventure, environmental storytelling and community spirit to the Boardman Lake District.

Plus, Beth brings the latest local headlines on freshwater issues, updates on Leelanau County's only marijuana dispensary and the future of the TAG program at TCAPS.

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