The Dockporter: a Mackinac Island Podcast
Read by The Dockporter co-author and enriched with summer sounds and music, this podcast is an offbeat, nostalgic coming-of-age story that appeals to anyone who ever had a summer job. If Rushmore director Wes Anderson remade Caddyshack, but it emerged as a hybrid of Footloose and Meatballs (and was a book), it would be The Dockporter. Set on Mackinac Island in northern Michigan, The Dockporter is genre-smashing, hilariously fresh, yet refreshingly familiar—a novel about friends, family, love, luggage, and the summers we never forget. Adapted from the novel of the same name, this is the first of many Mackinac Island stories to come.

Chapter 7: Grand Hotel
Jack and Smitty pay a little visit to Swanksville. They strap on jackets and ties and head up to the Grand Hotel dining room to spy on Erin as she eats lobster and berates her boyfriend in her own unique Irish style. Jack falls harder and Smitty is unimpressed with the price of a beer.
