For Our Members ...

Last year I had a chance to go travel to Europe for a few weeks. As I was talking to a former boss of mine about the trip, he suggested three things: Rick Steves, Rick Steves, and Rick Steves. If I wanted to know where to go, what to do, and what to eat, watch Rick Steves. I may have then gone and watched many episodes of his show immediately after that conversation. I knew where I was going but it was helpful to have a guide on my TV telling me some of the things off the beaten path or some festivals that I would have missed on my own. WCMU has our local shows just like Rick Steves. Under The Radar and our very own Destination Michigan program show us places and individuals doing some amazing things. I got tips from both shows on places to eat when travelling in our state. It is now a part of every trip I take. My List: #1 –where am I staying and #2 – where am I eating.

Our August schedule does have quite a few episodes of Under The Radar, Destination Michigan, and yes, Rick Steves. If travel isn’t possible in August for you, we have many great shows to watch. Grantchester and Ridley are all new shows. There also is a lot of focus
