Short’s Fest has come and gone but the audio lives on! This podcast was recorded during Short’s Fest on Saturday August 8th, 2015. Bridgett Beckwith hosts the show and is joined by Short’s Cast Producer, Mike Moran, who fills in for Jon “The Woj” Wojtowicz (who was operating the ever popular Woj’s Weiners cart during the festival).
If it wasn’t for Michigan media outlets, the craft beer industry wouldn’t be what it is today. We highlight some Michigan journalists, marketing mavens, and photographers in this episode of Short’s Cast and there were many in attendance.
