In this episode, Aral shows off a collection of parody commercials he’s made, inspired by the unmistakable ads heard across Michigan’s airwaves. From high‑energy dealerships to quirky local jingles, he takes the state’s most memorable radio spots and gives them a ridiculous twist. Tune in for a comedic tour through the Mitten’s advertising landscape — all in good fun and “Pure Michigan” spirit.

It’s a Michigan podcast, we’ve gotta do a cherry episode! This week, Aral is joined by talented actress, singer, comedian and teaching artist, Kaitlyn Bess Reil who brought her own character…and boyfriend…onto the show! Kaitlyn plays the titular “Sherri,” and my surprise guest, Austin Fajnor, plays “Buck.” You’re gonna love this couple as much as they love each other!

In this episode, Aral convinces his communications professor, Catherine Palomino, to be on the show! It doesn’t hurt that she’s an incredibly funny stand-up comedian as well! 🤣 Cayte lives in Grand Rapids, so she has chosen to play a wedding planner from the completely fictional 37th Reformed Church of Hudsonville, to help elucidate for all of us the rich complexity of West Michigan's Dutch Reform Community. Enjoy!
