Michigan Magazine
Travel the back roads of Michigan with hosts Dell Vaughan and Barry
Stutesman. Each week you'll experience the Great lake state "off the
beaten path". Follow Dell and Barry as they discover Interesting people,
places and events that exemplify the Michigan rural spirit.
From artists, craftsman, home businesses, farmers, ranchers, county fair to
home town hero's everything Michigan is fair game for these two native
Michiganders.
Dell and Barry travel into the communities and homes of everyday people
that are making a difference in the lives of those around them or are
preserving a tradition for future generations.
Michigan Magazine is dedicated to finding the "real" Michigan one will
see down the side roads of the state and placing it in the "spotlight".
Dell and Berry have been traveling Michigan's highways and bi-ways
together on Michigan Magazine over a decade and have garnered a loyal
legion of viewers who, through the program, are themselves discovering
adventures in their own backyard!
Del and Barry starting the program in 1989.
Dell, born in Flint and raised in Clio, Michigan had a tremendous
background in entertainment and music. Dell's younger years found him
recording and charting hits on local radio stations. His love of the state
and it's people were subject of many original compositions. Dell
composed and performs the Michigan Magazine Theme song "Sore Like
an Eagle"... that beckons weekly viewers to "...follow us where we go!"
Barry, also born in Flint, was raised in rural northern Michigan's
Amish country near Fairview, Michigan. Barry quickly found outlets
for his fascination with broadcasting by securing part time work at a
local radio station while still in high school. From there Barry
worked at various Radio stations throughout Michigan at various
positions from DJ to Program Director and talk show host. Barry
was swept into TV via a local Cable Company and his own local news
and talk show.
When the pair met they discovered their mutual love of Michigan's
back roads and the people with stories to tell... the rest is as they say
"history". Dell and Barry they joined forces, and pooled their resources to
begin producing and distributing Michigan Magazine to Public TV
stations across the state.
The weekly series also created a demand by viewers to produce a quarterly
Magazine that now highlights the travels of pair. The Michigan
Magazine "Magazine" celebrated it's 10th anniversary in May of
2002.
Then a museum was built that houses the art work and gift
they've received from the guests and places they featured on the
program. the museum is a non profit organization that acts as an
educational outlet and tourist attraction visited by thousands of
loyal viewers each year. Here viewers get the chance to experience
what they've seen on the program.
