  • Like hanging with friends!

    Had such a great time talking about ’70s and ’80s music and just casually hanging out together. It felt more like chatting with friends than being interviewed. What a wonderful family! I’d absolutely be a guest again and highly recommend.

  • Incredible family chemistry

    Love this group so much! I knew I wanted to join the conversation the minute they popped up on my PodMatch page and hopefully I can come back again one day. Real people, real conversations, no worries over barking dogs and chattering children. Tune in! So glad I did.

  • Nepotism At It’s (least) Finest

    The only bright spots on the podcast anymore are Kristyn Burt, Tim Lammers and Britney Arneson when they are on. Tom goes on and on about the same tired things every day – “Why can’t we all get along? I’m not a Democrat or Republican. We are raised differently. How did we get here?” Blah blah blah. This would be okay is once in awhile, but it’s every damn day. Kathryn Brandt is the most annoying person and does not let facts get in the way of her opinions. She never digs deep into what is actual... more

Christine Handy is back, and still not an opera singer

Christine Handy is back, and still not an opera singer

Doug Loon knows the coolest thing made in Minnesota
Q: What's the least cool thing made in Minnesota?
Loon says the contest did not identify a least-cool product because the Chamber does not want to disparage business innovators; the public instead votes for the coolest entries.
Doug Loon knows the coolest thing made in Minnesota
Q: So, tell us about that. Well, you think about now, we have, we obviously have a Senate race, which is open because because Latina is not running, right?
Loon describes a busy Minnesota election year, with statewide, congressional, legislative, and municipal races on the ballot, and encourages business people to make a plan to vote.
Tim Harmston drives across the state just for us
Q: Are there things now that people should be talking about in comedy that aren't, or are there things, there got to be some things you shouldn't talk about in comedy anymore, I would guess. But I don't know.
Harmston says a political set recently made an audience sad, and he thinks people often come to comedy to escape reality. He generally prefers material about his own interests and says audience response can depend on the subject and the room.
