In the podcast episode titled “Welcome to November Up North,” host Mike Dell kicks off his series for NaPodPomo on November 1st, 2025. He introduces the theme of the month, where he plans to discuss various aspects of northern Michigan, particularly Traverse City. Mike mentions that each day he will share interesting stories, history, or happenings from the area.
He notes his participation in NaPodPomo, which he describes as the eighteenth year of the initiative that started in 2007. Mike encourages listeners to visit napodpromo.org for more information and to find a super mega feed that includes other participating shows for November.
The episode is intended to be a collection of short daily episodes, incorporating elements of history and nostalgia, although he humorously remarks that nostalgia can sometimes feel like a disease. Mike also addresses his recent health setback, mentioning that he had been feeling unwell, likening his condition to being kicked in the chest by a donkey, which has left him a bit scratchy in his voice.
He concludes the episode by expressing his plans to record daily updates throughout November, signaling the start of this new series. #napodpomo25

00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:15,139

13
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:33,700
interesting or some history or whatever of this
14
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:37,539
Northern Michigan area, mainly Traverse City, but, you
15
00:00:37,539 --> 00:00:38,039
know,
16
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:40,500
how I like to do there we go,
17
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:42,500
let me turn that down a little bit.
18
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,060
You probably wouldn't notice anything, but I do
19
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:45,799
in my headphones.
20
00:00:47,824 --> 00:00:49,424
So anyway, that's what I'm gonna do. I
21
00:00:49,424 --> 00:00:52,085
am participating in the NAPOD POMO.
22
00:00:52,545 --> 00:00:53,284

00:00:53,824 --> 00:00:58,784

00:00:58,784 --> 00:01:03,190
That's nap0dp0m0.0rg.
25
00:01:03,890 --> 00:01:04,390
And
26
00:01:04,849 --> 00:01:05,569
this is the,
27
00:01:06,049 --> 00:01:07,109
eighteenth year,
28
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:09,250
I think. I don't know. It started in
29
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:10,370
2007.
30
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:11,510
You figure it out.
31
00:01:12,370 --> 00:01:15,090
But, anyway, gonna be participating along with a
32
00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:16,230
bunch of other podcasters.
33
00:01:16,935 --> 00:01:19,575
And in the show notes over at mikedell.com,
34
00:01:19,575 --> 00:01:20,555
I will have
35
00:01:21,015 --> 00:01:23,894
the link to NAPOD promo and a link
36
00:01:23,894 --> 00:01:26,375
to the super mega feed that has all
37
00:01:26,375 --> 00:01:27,974
the shows that are doing this. So if
38
00:01:27,974 --> 00:01:30,134
you wanna listen to a bunch of shows
39
00:01:30,134 --> 00:01:30,875
in November,
40
00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:34,189
that's the feed to subscribe to. So,
41
00:01:34,730 --> 00:01:36,430
you can check that out
42
00:01:36,890 --> 00:01:37,709
over there.
43
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:40,969
But, yeah, I'm gonna do, you know, bunch
44
00:01:40,969 --> 00:01:43,530
of short little episodes probably, you know, some
45
00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:44,670
history nostalgia.
46
00:01:45,685 --> 00:01:47,765
And so I think the nostalgia is kind
47
00:01:47,765 --> 00:01:50,025
of a disease sometimes, but,
48
00:01:50,484 --> 00:01:51,224
you know,
49
00:01:51,685 --> 00:01:51,924
we'll,
50
00:01:52,885 --> 00:01:55,545
we'll go from there. So that's the plan.
51
00:01:56,245 --> 00:01:57,465
Nothing huge.
52
00:01:58,325 --> 00:02:00,905
Like I said, just little episodes every day,
53
00:02:01,469 --> 00:02:03,069
and we'll try to make it all the
54
00:02:03,069 --> 00:02:04,560
way to the November
55
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,490
30.
56
00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:06,770
That would be cool.
57
00:02:07,630 --> 00:02:08,129
And
58
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:09,569
that's the plan.
59
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:10,610
So
60
00:02:11,310 --> 00:02:12,830
I don't know. I got hit by a
61
00:02:12,830 --> 00:02:13,870
bug the other day,
62
00:02:14,669 --> 00:02:15,169
and
63
00:02:16,135 --> 00:02:18,235
just starting to feel halfway decent.
64
00:02:19,175 --> 00:02:20,474
I don't know what it was.
65
00:02:21,014 --> 00:02:21,514
Just
66
00:02:21,814 --> 00:02:22,635
felt like,
67
00:02:23,735 --> 00:02:25,335
you know, felt like I got kicked in
68
00:02:25,335 --> 00:02:28,135
the chest by a donkey and and, was
69
00:02:28,135 --> 00:02:30,375
all congested and stuff. So if I if
70
00:02:30,375 --> 00:02:31,860
I sound a little scratchy, that's
71
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:33,620
why.
72
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:34,680
Otherwise,
73
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:37,800
everything's been going along just fine here.
74
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:40,819
So, anyhoo, I'm gonna get out of here.
75
00:02:40,819 --> 00:02:42,979
I just want to make this quick intro
76
00:02:42,979 --> 00:02:44,199
episode for
77
00:02:44,798 --> 00:02:45,378
the kickoff
78
00:02:46,478 --> 00:02:48,578
of Welcome to November Up North
79
00:02:49,358 --> 00:02:52,098
