Then, Jillian Reese joined to explain the attempted utopian community, The Palestine Colony, that happened about five miles north of where Bad Axe is today.
To end the show, we listened to a podcast from KEXP, where Ann Arbor-based singer-songwriter Chris Bathgate is interviewed about his newest album, "The Significance of Peaches," part of which he wrote after living in the Manistee National Forest.
