Introducing the Enjoyer History Podcast
Father-daughter duo Buddy and Lottie Moorehouse dig up Michigan stories you've never heard before
You’ve driven past so many great stories. Maybe it’s an old factory off the expressway, the bar with the strange door, or a historical marker you never pulled over to read.
That’s the idea behind The Enjoyer History Podcast, Michigan Enjoyer’s newest show. It’s hosted by Buddy Moorehouse, a longtime Michigan journalist and documentary filmmaker, and his daughter Lottie Moorehouse, a lifestyle reporter for Michigan Enjoyer.
Each episode takes a piece of Michigan’s past and traces it back to something you can still go see today. Expect deep research, great storytelling, and plenty of family banter.
Our first episode heads to the Willow Run Bomber Plant in Ypsilanti. You’ve heard of Rosie the Riveter and the thousands of women who kept B-24 bombers rolling off the line. Those heroic women are famous, but another crew there never got much credit.
Ford needed workers small enough to squeeze inside the bomber’s center wing, so it recruited little people from across the country. Some of them had just played Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz. After their shifts, they frequented the same Ypsi bar, and that’s why the door handle at Ypsi’s Tap Room sits just three feet off the ground.
It’s stories like this that make you look at your own town differently. That’s the whole point.
