Welcome!

We believe Michigan is more than just a place—it’s a way of life. That’s why, on our Life In Michigan podcast, we connect with everyday Michiganders, uncovering the passion, creativity, and resilience that define our state. These candid conversations provide insights that complement the stories shared in our digital magazine, Life In Michigan, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the people shaping Michigan today.

In our quirky weekly newsletter, the Sunday Sip, we share personal essays that are often funny, sometimes useful, and always heartfelt. From music and books to recipes, we offer recommendations that often take a nostalgic trip back to our formative years in the vibrant 1980s.

Whether you read an essay in the Sunday Sip, listen to an inspiring interview on the podcast, or browse our magazine, each piece connects to our shared love for this beautiful state.

So subscribe and join us as we continue to share Michigan’s stories—one story, one sip, at a time.

Our Sunday Sip is a free, reader-supported newsletter. Nothing is behind the paywall, but we’d love it if you upgraded to paid.

We hope you will subscribe! If you do, check your spam, promotions, and other dodgy inboxes for the welcome email. Then, if necessary, move to your primary to ensure you receive all future emails.

Thanks for being here with us.
