At the start of 2025, after 8 years of focusing on Cities that our hosts Robert & Mary Carey have visited across the nation, we altered the popular “Destination Spotlight” series of the show to focus on States, doing it alphabetically. That meant Alabama was first and it occurred on Jan 18th 2025, followed by Alaska on Feb 1st, Arizona on Feb 8th, Arkansas on Mar 1st, California on Mar 29th, Colorado on Apr 26th, Connecticut on May 10th, Delaware on May 31st, Florida on Jun 14th, Georgia on Jun 21st, Hawaii on Jul 12th, Idaho on Jul 26th, Illinois on Aug 9th, Indiana on Sept 6th, Iowa was Sept 20th, Kansas on Oct 18th, Kentucky on Oct 25th and Louisiana on Nov 1st, before we turned to the “M” named States with Maine happening on Nov 22nd, Maryland on Dec 6th. With the flip of the calendar to 2026, The Careys began the year traveling for 25 days on the big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Miami to Los Angeles, that had them transiting the Panama Canal as a way to supercharge our America 250 coverage, before they picked up with Massachusetts on Jan 31st 2026, and that meant Michigan was next, which happened on America’s #1 Travel Radio Show on February 7th 2026.
Admitted to the Union back in 1837, Michigan Office of Travel and Tourism Vice President, Kelly Wolgamott, joined Robert & Mary on-air to talk-up America’s 26th State. They chatted about America 250 celebrations in the State, The Careys past travels to the State, Ford’s Rouge Factory, Greenfield Village, Henry Ford Museum, Mackinac Island, Detroit and more. They also talked about all the Spring Tulips in Holland, Michigan, sports tourism — be it professional and collegiate — in the Wolverine State, Michigan having over 100 public beaches and more than 100 State Parks, the automotive industry, and more.
