Audio Reports
On the radio...
Occasionally, The North Woods Call staff dabbles in audio reporting -- either by creating original material, or by appearing as guests and commentators on existing radio programs.
Here are some audio adventures that may interest to you:
Great Lakes Water WarsCommentary on protecting Great Lakes water resources by North Woods Call Editor/Publisher Mike VanBuren. This commentary was first broadcast on National Public Radio's Living on Earth program with Steve Curwood.
- Energy & SUVs: Hollywood Warnings Undue
Many famous entertainers love preaching to America about environmental issues and war. But Great Lakes Radio Consortium commentator Mike VanBuren says they first ought to look at their own lavish lifestyles.
- Buck Lake Ranch: Nashville of the North
OK, so this report is not about natural resources and the north woods. It's more about the conservation of a fine piece of Americana that was loved and frequented by rural midwestern audiences for many years. Produced by the National Public Radio affiliate in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the report highlights a video documentary made by Editor/Publisher Mike VanBuren for Kalamazoo, Michigan-based Newshound Productions. Buck Lake Ranch provided great outdoor entertainment for the entire family. And, heck, there was even fishing in Buck Lake and a nearby trout pond.
