Episode 26: The Sauna

The second annual Michigan Sauna Festival [https://www.michigansaunafest.com/]took place in April of 2026 on the shores of West Grand Traverse Bay.  Organized by Nick Olson of Hearth Sauna [https://hearthsauna.com/] and Vlad Bourza of Sleeping Bear Saunas [https://www.sleepingbearsaunas.org/], the duo brought multiple sauna manufacturers to Clinch Park in downtown Traverse City. Hundreds gathered to sweat and then plunge into the bay. Clinch Park sits on land historically known as Kchi-Wiikwedong [https://anishinaabetrails.org/], an Anishinaabemowin word meaning “Great Bay.” Saunas and sweat lodges have been a ritual in northern Michigan for generations  With the increase of public saunas, it seems that mainstream culture is finally catching up. With the presence of artificial intelligence, humanity is transitioning  into a new age of communication. This has sparked a growing desire among people to find community experiences that feel more genuine and fulfilling. Anne Marie Oomen, Norm Wheeler, Ingemar Johansson and Patrick Niemisto, are all residents of northern Michigan.   Each have their own sauna, built by hand. In this episode you’ll hear our conversation about northern Michigan sauna culture.  It was recorded at the community radio station of WuWu 100.1 LPFM in Elberta, Michigan on April 15, 2026. Church courtesy of Anne Marie Oomen [https://anne-marieoomen.com/] from Seasons of the Sleeping Bear (Second Story Enterprises). The Sauna Song [https://huumsauna.com/best-songs-about-saunas/#arve-youtube-bygj-ydsork]appears courtesy of New Third Coast featuring Norm Wheeler and Patrick Niemisto, playing live at the Hiawatha Music Festival. The year is unknown. This episode is sponsored by Hearth Sauna. [https://hearthsauna.com/]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
