Welcome to November Up North

In the podcast episode titled "Welcome to November Up North," host Mike Dell kicks off his series for NaPodPomo on November 1st, 2025. He introduces the theme of the month, where he plans to discuss various aspects of northern Michigan, particularly Traverse City. Mike mentions that each day he will share interesting stories, history, or happenings from the area. He notes his participation in NaPodPomo, which he describes as the eighteenth year of the initiative that started in 2007. Mike encourages listeners to visit napodpromo.org for more information and to find a super mega feed that includes other participating shows for November. The episode is intended to be a collection of short daily episodes, incorporating elements of history and nostalgia, although he humorously remarks that nostalgia can sometimes feel like a disease. Mike also addresses his recent health setback, mentioning that he had been feeling unwell, likening his condition to being kicked in the chest by a donkey, which has left him a bit scratchy in his voice. He concludes the episode by expressing his plans to record daily updates throughout November, signaling the start of this new series.  #napodpomo25   NaPodPoMo catch all feed:  https://feed.informer.com/digests/ZOYLP5GJYK/feeder.rss NaPodPoMo website https://napodpomo.org/

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Mike Dell's world number
five zero seven
for 11/01/2025,
and this is the November.
I'm gonna be starting out this,
this November
with
a series. We're gonna call it welcome to
November up north.

(00:21):
And, basically, what I'm gonna do is talk
about, every day this month, I'm gonna talk
about something going on or something
interesting or some history or whatever of this
Northern Michigan area, mainly Traverse City, but, you
know,
how I like to do there we go,
let me turn that down a little bit.

(00:42):
You probably wouldn't notice anything, but I do
in my headphones.
So anyway, that's what I'm gonna do. I
am participating in the NAPOD POMO.
You can
see what's going on over there at napodpomo.org.
That's nap0dp0m0.0rg.

(01:03):
And
this is the,
eighteenth year,
I think. I don't know. It started in
2007.
You figure it out.
But, anyway, gonna be participating along with a
bunch of other podcasters.
And in the show notes over at mikedell.com,
I will have
the link to NAPOD promo and a link

(01:23):
to the super mega feed that has all
the shows that are doing this. So if
you wanna listen to a bunch of shows
in November,
that's the feed to subscribe to. So,
you can check that out
over there.
But, yeah, I'm gonna do, you know, bunch
of short little episodes probably, you know, some
history nostalgia.

(01:45):
And so I think the nostalgia is kind
of a disease sometimes, but,
you know,
we'll,
we'll go from there. So that's the plan.
Nothing huge.
Like I said, just little episodes every day,
and we'll try to make it all the
way to the November
30.

(02:05):
That would be cool.
And
that's the plan.
So
I don't know. I got hit by a
bug the other day,
and
just starting to feel halfway decent.
I don't know what it was.
Just
felt like,
you know, felt like I got kicked in
the chest by a donkey and and, was

(02:28):
all congested and stuff. So if I if
I sound a little scratchy, that's
why.
Otherwise,
everything's been going along just fine here.
So, anyhoo, I'm gonna get out of here.
I just want to make this quick intro
episode for
the kickoff
of Welcome to November Up North

(02:49):
here on Mike Dell's World. Catch me later.
