The show, which is in its 7th season, sees John and his crew travel to different communities around the state, and tell their story. John told us how the show began.

John explains how the team selects where they will travel to next.

The Manitowoc episode of “Around the Corner with John McGivern” will air on Milwaukee PBS tomorrow, and will air on Wisconsin PBS on March 15th. Every episode is also on YouTube as well. Click here to see all the shows that Milwaukee PBS produces.
