DW Video named Best of Michigan finalist
Discover Montcalm podcast reaches 200-episode milestone
Daily News - August 27, 2026
Everyone has driven past a small business sign without knowing a thing about the people behind it. The diner with the hand-painted letters, the auto shop that has held the same corner since before everyone carried a camera in their pocket, the farm stand open only on weekends.
Most people keep driving. Someone in mid-Michigan decided to stop, set up a camera, and actually ask what their story is.
That curiosity became the foundation of DW Video & Multimedia LLC. Led by Duane W**d, the company has built its reputation by helping businesses tell authentic stories instead of scripted sales pitches. Alongside its commercial video production, DW Video produces Chatting Local, featuring unscripted social media conversations with local business owners; the Discover Montcalm podcast, highlighting community attractions and entrepreneurs; and the B2B Authority podcast series, giving companies a platform to share their expertise and connect with new audiences.
Whether it's a 30-second reel or a long-form interview, the focus stays the same: Real people and the stories behind their work.
Demonstrating that dedication to local storytelling, on July 31, the Discover Montcalm podcast — produced by DW Video — officially dropped its milestone 200th episode. Reaching 200 episodes reinforces the company's commitment to providing a continuous, powerful platform for local voices and business owners to share their journeys.
That commitment to authentic storytelling is a big reason DW Video & Multimedia earned a 2026 Best of Michigan Award. More than producing polished videos, the company helps preserve the personalities, histories, and relationships that make local businesses memorable. After all, every sign has a story. W**d and DW Video simply make sure people get to hear it.
“Being named a 2026 Best of Michigan Finalist in Videography by The Guide to Michigan reflects both the community trust and recognition of our customers across the Great Lakes State,” said W**d, content creator at DW Video. “I am so honored to be nominated — by the way, thank you to the person who nominated me!”
According to guidetomichigan.com, the Best of Michigan program is driven by annual reader votes and editor selections, showcasing outstanding local businesses, contractors, and service providers across print, online, and social media platforms. Earning a spot as a finalist validates DW Video's standing as a top-tier visual storytelling choice for Michigan companies looking for proven, highly recommended video production partners.
