Pleasant Peninsula with O.W. Root

Society EN ↓ 80 episodes

O.W. Root lives in Northern Michigan and writes about life, style and culture. The 24/7 news cycle is pointlessly addicting and shallow. Where life lives is in the crooks and crannies, the cracks and the corners. It's about what we eat, what we wear and what entertains us. This show is about deep culture, stories that make life worth living, not clickbait. michiganenjoyer.substack.com
