In Crew at the Shoe, host Ben McMahon sits down with musicians in the Wooden Shoe, the small home bar in the Peninsula Pulse offices, to talk music with bands from and visiting Door County.

Ben McMahon is a lover of beards, brewing, and banjo. When he’s not talking music in the Shoe, he’s usually up the street at Door County Brewing Co., his family’s brewery where he manages the bar and its eclectic music schedule that brings in everything from local folk artists to big city brass bands.
