Diverse Radio for Minnesota’s Communities

On this Grab Bag episode, we talk about book bans and other brans coming out of Florida. The crew ask and attempt to answer several questions, including: Why are these bans happening? Is this in response to the browning of America? How can we get away from talking points and focus on what’s happening on the ground? We also had yet another school shooting and check in with our hosts.

Charlotte Helgeson, Director of the Campbell Public Library of East Grand Forks, MN, has the scoop on upcoming events and activities at Campbell! Plus, she reveals two new books!

In today’s EXTENDED Untold Story of Central Minnesota, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack talks with renowned comedian and SCSU alumnus C. Willi Myles. C. Willi has performed internationally for decades, opening up for the likes of Aretha Franklin and the Temptations, all the while making time for coming back to the St. Cloud area. Underlying his success is a philosophy of kindness-based humor that developed during his upbringing in Alabama and his football and coaching career at SCSU where he became an ambassador of sorts for African American student athletes as they made their way to Minnesota for sports. C. Willi will be performing a free show in SCSU’s Ritchie Auditorium on Wednesday, April 5.
This story was made possible through support from the MN Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.

It’s our monthly NEW ARTISTS’ show, including tunes by Lori Lofstrom, Jeff Dayton, Tomika,The Failsafe and more!
