Here Today, NARN Tomorrow

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

As Ed announced on Hot Air earlier this week, last Saturday was his last regular Northern Alliance broadcast.

So some might ask – what’s the NARN’s future?

The answer:  Lots.

The show will carry on on Saturday at the usual time (and Brad’s show on Sunday, of course, is unchanged).  I’ll probably focus more on Minnesota politics – I mean, with Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Miller and Mark Levin, AM1280’s got the national stuff pretty well covered, right?   I’ll likely also have a group of regular guests in the studio to talk important Minnesota stuff.

So tune in for the new NARN – same as the old NARN – Saturday from 1-3PM (and Brad’s show on Sunday from 1-3) on AM1280 The Patriot, or on the Patriot’s live stream, or (fingers crossed) the show’s new video and chat stream.

And don’t forget – starting at 6PM, just before the debate, the North Metro Tea Party will be holding a silent auction to benefit Senate candidate Kurt Bills.  Come on out!

A Few Hundred Of Our Closest Friends

Tuesday, October 16th, 2012

In the history of the Northern Alliance Radio Network, the Debate Parties are among the most legendary events.

Eight years ago (!) at the Minneapolis Hilton, they set out 100 chairs and one porta-bar in a ballroom with a jumbotron to watch the final debate between Dubya and Kerry. 700 turned out; it was the first time we on the NARN ever figured we had an audience.  It was amazing.  It was also the first time we met many of our audience regulars, including our latest NARN colleague Brad Carlson!  It was an amazing evening.

Four years ago, at the Biden/Palin debate at the late great Trocadero?  We drew close to 500, which was a completely full house.  It was a fantastic night.

And Monday night, we’ll be doing it again!

Join us at the Blue Fox in Shoreview on Monday, 10/22 for the final Presidential Debate of this season.


View Larger Map

Brad Carlson and I will be MCing, and doing a Q and A before and after.  There’ll be some special prices, and the food is really really good!

Also – before the debate, there’ll be a silent auction to benefit the Kurt BIlls for Senate campaign.  Come on out and bring a few bucks to benefit Bills, and stay for the party!

NARN: Bucket List Saturday

Friday, October 5th, 2012

I’ve had a list of people, for much of my talk radio career (including the first one, back in 1986-1987 at KSTP) of guests I’ve always wanted to interview.  The list has grown and shrunk over the decades, but usually has been some variant on this one:

  • Lech Walesa
  • Pope John Paul II
  • Ronald Reagan (this is going back a few years)
  • Simon Wiesenthal
  • Jack Kemp (regrettably also impossible now)
  • Levi Stubbs (ditto)
  • Steve Forbes
  • Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
  • Margaret Thatcher
  • Brett Schundler
  • Stanislaus Schmajzner
  • Bruce Springsteen
  • George H.W. Bush (and Dubya, too)
  • Little Richard
  • Mike Ditka
  • Paul Johnson

Tomorrow on the NARN, Ed and I will be interviewing one of them.
