  • My First Concert

    “My First Concert” is a great show part of the Talk North Network. Have listen to all of them. After listening to Paul Charchian. We need a list of all the Bands Paul talked about. We need the Band list over playlist. Need that too on “Chin Music” when they talk about songs or Bands. Like listening on my Runs or Walks.

    I love the show with LaVelle and Roy. Get rid of the music talk. That’s not why we listen to podcast.

  • Race

    John and Jim bring race into many stories. Why does John even have to mention race with a African American qualifying for the state speech event. She is a gifted speech participant it doesn’t need to be qualified with her race. Her skin color has nothing to do with her accomplishment. Every time you mention race you cause more division.

Wooden Sticks with Kevin Gorg - Bill Butters

Dawn of Sports with Dawn Mitchell & Jim Souhan - Lea B. Olsen on Lynx, W, MVP...
Q: What do you see in this matchup when the Lynx finish the regular season against Indiana, back-to-back, with a lot on the line for postseason seeding?

The Flush: Ep 332 – Build a Wildlife Area
Q: What does it look like to use matching funds for Build a Wildlife Week, and what is the goal for this year?
Private donors provide matching gifts through PF&QF's Major Gift Team, immediately doubling the impact of donations during the campaign, with a minimum fundraising goal to match $400,000 and an extended internal target north of $1 million for total year fundraising.
The Flush: Ep 332 – Build a Wildlife Area
Q: Can you tell us without going into every single detail, what is the essence of Build a Wildlife Area Week and what is the goal at PF&QF?
Build a Wildlife Area Week is the one week a year when PF&QF concentrates efforts on permanent land acquisition for public hunting, using outreach channels like property highlight videos, journals, and membership communications to raise funds and inspire corporate and agency partners to contribute and to set the stage for ongoing acquisition throughout the year.
Go Gophers: Culture Club
Q: How does Morgan view resiliency and personal development in a corporate or non-athletic setting?
Resiliency is about showing up after rejection or setbacks, taking ownership of one's development, and continuously growing through self-directed learning.
