BOO293- ENCORE – FINDING COMMUNITY

We are stronger when we work together. Reflections on finding community all around me.


BOO292 – ENCORE – LESSONS IN PROJECTION

We can learn about about ourselves when we pay attention to what bothers us about others.


BOO291- ENCORE – MISSING MOMENTS OF JOY

We cannot selectively numb our feelings. In other words, if you avoid suffering, you also miss out on joy. And when joy comes, many of us forbid it to linger, mentally rehearsing what could go wrong.

In this episode we will explore:

Why joy is considered a terrifying emotion
What helps us be more present to whatever shows up
How joy, health and gratitude are linked


BOO290 – ENCORE – DEFENSIVENESS

Defensiveness is a relational disease. How do we move beyond it to increase the quality of our relationships?


BOO289 – ENCORE – ENOUGHNESS

It is radical to imagine we don’t have to fix, acquire or change ourselves to access what Sonya Renee Taylor calls our innate enoughness.

House Party

We’re switchin’ in the kitchen today on Stay Human, and the tap room is open too. Some spectacular desserts from the Chop Challenge at Northern Lights Community School, sample some home brew and a visit with one of America’s favorite brewers, and, if you’re hungry, we’ve got plenty of lutefisk left over from Christmas. Pull up a chair, it’s a house party today

Catching up with the hosts of Roadhouse past

The locally produced variety show, The Roadhouse, debuted in 1999, with hosts Walt Rasmussen, Bob Carter and Buck Benson. The program has had a changing roster of hosts over the years and is currently hosted by Dave Tersteeg, Brian Neil, and Julie Carlson, and for the last 12 years has been produced by Annie Possis.

A Friday evening tradition on North Shore Radio, the program has featured countless live musical acts and hundreds of interviews, ranging from the science of climate change to how to properly roast a Thanksgiving turkey. Frequent guests to the
the show have included local and regional authors, artists, researchers, scientists, and musical performers.

Beginning Jan. 14, The Roadhouse will shift to a volunteer-produced music show with a special focus on weekend events, featuring local event and music announcements and a fun music mix, and will air live from 4 to 6 on Fridays. Our local and regional music program, the Scenic Route, produced and hosted by Will Moore, will move to 6 p.m.

To celebrate twenty-plus years of the Roadhouse, we invited past hosts to share stories of their most memorable moments on air. Joining Dave, Brian, and Julie are Buck Benson, Bob Carter, Mike Raymond, Dick Swanson, CJ Heithoff, Tracy Benson, Debbie Benedict, and Will Moore.

WTIP’s The Roadhouse is supported in part by funding from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
