When you mix a lot of emotions, I guess this is th When you mix a lot of emotions, I guess this is the face you get.

This was taken in May, when I was visiting the @greatlakesshipwreck museum with @wyatt.c.buckner on a reporting trip for a major project that @duluthnews has just announced: a five-part podcast telling the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald from launch to loss to legacy, with over a dozen related features.

I’m writing and narrating the podcast, with support from our editors and digital producers. This is the culmination of a year of work, and I’m excited for you to have the opportunity to hear from all the incredible people I interviewed. There’s even an original score, by @umnduluth alum @williambmusic.

A full episode will be released each week starting October 13, leading up to the shipwreck’s 50-year mark on November 10. Find the trailer now wherever you listen to podcasts (and enjoy the song here, because licensing it for the podcast would have been equivalent to the cost of a *lot* of newspaper subscriptions).
