The co-creators of “Under The Radar Michigan” on what makes Michigan unique and fun
Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman have spent the last 12 years finding what makes the State of Michigan great.
It’s travel season in Michigan, and that often means packing the car and hitting the road. During the summer months, residents explore beaches, bike, and take walks along the Great Lakes.
But Michigan — as one license plate notes — is a water, “winter”, wonderland. That means there’s also no shortage of activities during the colder months — like skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or just sitting somewhere in a hot tub outside.
During any season, two Michiganders in particular do a lot of travelling throughout the state. Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman host “Under the Radar Michigan,” a PBS program that highlights all the fun and quirky sides the area has to offer.
“The restaurant scene blew up like none of us — who are longtime residents — expected.” — Jim Edelman, Under the Radar Michigan

“The restaurant scene blew up like none of us — who are longtime residents — expected,” says Edelman.
