In this week’s episode of Currently, Christal and Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) are joined by Ed Ronco from IPR News Radio to break down the stories shaping Northern Michigan right now.

This episode is brought to you by lead underwriter Golden-Fowler Home Furnishings: Home Fashion Elevated, located on S. Garfield Avenue in Traverse City. Support also comes from West Shore Bank – committed to the well-being of the community, and The Coin Slot Arcade Bar – a chill hangout in Traverse City featuring a full bar, pinball machines, and a great selection of drinks.

We’re talking about what federal cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting could mean for local radio, how the Grand Traverse Band is turning fish waste into something useful, and the latest updates from East Bay Township.
