The Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame Studio is located on the Historical Museum of Bay County’s second floor. The former office is now the home of the MMHP989 podcast. The initials stand for Michigan Music History Podcast, and the show has won Best Streaming Musical Series for three consecutive years at the annual Review Music Awards. The podcast also won the Best Live Production award at the 2024 ceremony.
The show is co-hosted by Scott Baker, Gary “Dr. J” Johnson, Fred Reif, and Mike Beattie; and its focus is on the wide variety of musical styles and genres that have contributed to Michigan’s rich musical legacy.
