  • Summary

  • SEASON 6, EPISODE 52

    Gonzo and Amy wrap up 2024 with a "Best Of" show featuring some of their favorite segments from the year.

    Segment 1: The show opens with the Lansing Area Ukulele Group, better known as LAUGH (the 'H' is silent). This was recorded on Dec. 14 in a loft in Old Town Lansing after they attended the annual Holiday Sing and Strum at Sir Pizza. John French was our guest. He talks about LAUGH, and he also talks about his role as the curator and chief organizer of the Moist Toilette Museum in East Lansing.

    Segment 2: One of our most popular episodes of the season was our trip to the Michigan Steam Railroading Institue in Owosso to see the Pere Marquette 1225 up close and personal. Learn more at michigansteamtrain.com.

    Segment 3: Our webmaster and good friend Jeff Bailey joins the show to talk about his hobby as an amateur maple syrup producer. He talks about what it's like to start the hobby from scratch. Learn more about Michigan maple syrup at michiganmaple.org.

    Segment 4: Jeff Daniels - actor, comedian, playwright and founder of the Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea - talks about his beloved Detroit Lions right after the team's loss last season, which, had they won, would have put them in the Super Bowl. He also shares why he chose to live in Michigan rather than Hollywood, and why he hopes theater lovers across the state will come to Chelsea to visit him.
