Two J's in a Pod (S1E19: June 25, 2025)

A behind-the-scenes look at what's happening in Ottawa County and how issues nationwide affect us in West Michigan.

The J’s are back! This is episode 19. Two J’s in a Pod are Mary Ellen Murphy of WGHN radio and Sarah Leach of Ottawa News Network. Topics covered:

  • The heat is Mary Ellen’s boyfriend's fault.

  • Sarah fell in her pool. Mary Ellen is pool watching.

  • Useless chatter about the pool.

  • Sarah’s son is in the studio and chimes in.

  • Ottawa County Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday.

  • Administrator search.

  • Double Haul Solutions also hired by City of South Haven for a lifeguard program.

  • Lake Michigan drownings.

  • Back to administrator search chatter.

  • Sarah says Interim Administrator Gary Rosema is verbal melatonin.

  • Mr. Moss goes to Washington and Sarah’s outrage meter has been warped.

  • Juicy details about that trip.

  • There are bigger things going on in the world that Ottawa County politics.

  • The big beautiful bill.

  • Ceasefire.

  • The Campbell plant.

  • “Rock is my life, and this is my song” is a song by the rock group Bachman Turner Overdrive. Mary Ellen must have forgotten.

  • Sarah’s son, Ben, found the WGHN Beach Banana costume and put it on for us. It fits! Look for the banana in this year's Coast Guard Parade. Yes, WGHN has a mascot and it’s a banana.
