S10 E17 - Round Robin - The Mackinac Bridge, the Great Lakes & the Names Beneath the Water

from Malice in the Mitten · host Tracy Preston

From towering steel to ancient waters, we’re diving into one of Michigan’s most iconic landmarks — the Mackinac Bridge — and the powerful freshwater system it spans. In this episode of Round Robin, we explore the fascinating history of the bridge, uncover how the Great Lakes got their names, and answer a question many people have never stopped to ask: If Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are connected… why aren’t they the same lake? It’s a conversation filled with surprising history, geography, and Michigan-flavored curiosity — the kind that makes you look at familiar places in a whole new way. #RoundRobinPodcast #MichiganHistory #MackinacBridge #GreatLakes #PureMichigan #CuriousMinds
