Today we feature the latest episode of Michigan Public’s Beyond the Shore, a limited-run podcast about the Great Lakes. This time, we head to Lake Erie to learn about sturgeon — why their numbers have declined over the years, and what some people are doing to help restore the species.
Plus, there’s a new theatre troupe in Grand Rapids unlike any other in the state: productions performed entirely in Spanish. Latino artists are coming together to launch the Michigan Hispanic Theater Company — the first Spanish-language theatre company in the city of Grand Rapids. The troupe is holding auditions this weekend.
