  • Thanks for a great show!

    I am an Iowan living in Kansas City. I discovered the show right before the Covid 19 hit us. The podcast got me through a lot of my days as I listened on my workouts. I love the variety of topics. In KC our radio is Chiefs saturated. I love the Chiefs but it’s too much sometimes. The KXNO programming is important to me.

    I listen to the show every morning.

    If I don’t catch I live, I listen to the podcast.

    As a former Iowan living in Texas now it’s a great way to stay connected to back home.
