What in Southwest Michigan makes you curious?
That is the question WMUK has been asking since September 2015, when we launched Why's That? with a question about Douglas Avenue and the Douglass Community Association.
Since then, listeners have asked about road markers, paper mills, Kalamazoo's "Stonehenge," snow, gun violence, whether climate change will make the region cloudier, the Kalamazoo River, a spring near Decatur, why Portage and Kalamazoo aren't one city, why Michigan doesn't have any wildlife bridges, the strange borders of Kalamazoo Township, resistance to forced removal of Kalamazoo's original people, whether Kalamazoo Valley is really a valley, and much more.
With the exception of an eight-month hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic, WMUK has aired an episode of Why's That each month since 2015. This month's show looks back at a handful of highlights, answering questions about the Allegan man who captured Jefferson Davis, the Tea Pot Dome restaurant near Paw Paw, the park in Comstock that once served as a testing ground for amphibious vehicles, and "Kalamaglue."
We're looking forward to answering our next 100 questions — and we cannot wait to hear from you! Tell us what you're curious about:
