WE GOT OUR LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE BACK! That’s the big deal here!
Well, special musical guest and Native American Music Awards Hall of Fame inductee Keith Secola is a very big deal, too, but he would certainly agree having that live audience was a big deal! House band Collective Unconscious will (and did) back Keith up on that.
Other big deals of the show include Shade’s Brigade getting weird in St. Cloud with an innovative performance, the Honorable Mayor’s new poem and his joy at being able to look at people, and Dan Barth’s Trivia Challenge challenging the challenge which is decency with the live audience scoring points along the way as Heidi Jeub defeated Eric Webster and Keith Secola to be our Season 9 Champion!!
Also a big deal, but not nearly as a big deal as the other big deals were a look behind the scenes at writing the show, a journey into the seedy world of Farmer’s Market crime, and more products you might like to buy from SuccesssCo!
Being back to a “normal” radio theater experience was incredible and it’s all because of YOU! You are the big, big deal here, dontcha know?!!
In today’s Untold Story of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack talks with St. Cloud Police Officer Ryan Priebe as he has been awarded the Minnesota Peace and Police Officer Association’s Officer of the Year for 2021.
His nomination comes partially from an incident back on June 15, 2020, when he was shot in the hand by a suspect, and it comes partially from his work with the COP House in St. Cloud. The true untold story is how a moment from last summer’s unrest in Minnesota and Officer Priebe’s work at the Community Outpost intertwined in a way that prevented a bad situation from becoming a horrible situation and arguably prevented the violence seen in the Twin Cities from reaching St. Cloud.
Tejano means “Texan” in Spanish. It’s also a music genre that blends US American and Mexican traditions. Minnesota’s own Tejano band, Grupo Mio, performed “Live from Minnesota” May 8, 2021 at St. Paul Neighborhood Network for KFAI’s MinneCulture.
Support for Live from Minnesota on KFAI comes from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
