In Minnesota, freezing winters and big snowfalls come with the territory. But three feet of snow on Halloween? That was a day to remember. In this episode of the MinneCulture podcast, host Jumondeh Tweh plays a documentary produced by Britt Aamodt about the Halloween Blizzard of 1991, which remains one of the largest and most memorable storms in Minnesota history.
Fresh Fruit is the longest running queer radio program in the US. It has aired on KFAI Community Radio in Minneapolis, Minn. for over 40 years. MinneCulture host Jumondeh Tweh speaks with KFAI’s Dixie Treichel, who produced a radio documentary on this legendary radio show, tracking down former hosts and gathering the history of Fresh Fruit.
Glen Braget chats with Rocky Pamplin and co-author Ron Hamady about their book, The Beach Boys’ Endless Wave: Inside America’s Band. The book is a fascinating look at the role Rocky played in taking Brian Wilson from the brink of self destruction and getting him back to making music with the Beach Boys in 1976.
Pioneer 90.1’s Glen Braget chats with Little Minnesota author Jill Johnson.
Jill’s latest book tells the story of two basketball teams and their coach, Jim Musburger (Jill’s father), who coached and taught in Strandquist and Karlstad, two small towns in northwestern Minnesota from 1956 to 1979. A fascinating look back at just how special those small town sports rivalries were and how they are now just a memory in the age of school consolidation.
