Maxwell Howard
Maxwell Howard joined IPR as a full-time reporter in September 2025, but his voice is well known to listeners.
Howard has been a longtime freelance contributor to IPR on a range of topics, including an in-depth look at the challenges facing the Grand Traverse County Jail, the exploration of forgotten ghost towns in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and profiles of local artists like Harold Kranick — a Charlie Chaplin impersonator who met Chaplin’s daughter while in costume.
When he’s not working, Maxwell is probably making kombucha, playing with his kids, or thinking about what to make for dinner.
