My, how things have changed since the last podcast show. Two weeks ago when Chris Berry joined me in the studio, it was 90 degrees and disgustingly humid outside. On my way up to the studio today, the temperature gauge was hovering just a few notches above the freezing mark. In fact, I actually had…
On this installment of the podcast, Chris Berry of Soft Abuse Records returned to the KMSU studios in Mankato for what has been an annual end of summer tradition for as long as the podcast has been going (which is 8 years come October).

Here’s what went down on the weekly Thursday edition of Free Form Freakout for the closing month of our often disjointed summer schedule. We were, however, able to do all of the shows during this time span with both of us in the studio, which can be a rarity during the summer months. We also…

In the past couple of months, though, we’ve taken part in some special programming days on KMSU; otherwise, we’ve…
For this installment of the podcast, I’m pleased to be joined in the studio by Gregory Euclide. Gregory is an artist and art educator residing here in the MN River Valley whose work has appeared in various exhibitions and publications, both nationally and internationally. His artwork has also been closely tied to the dreamier side…
I had a chance to travel out of town this past week. It’s always nice to step out of your everyday element for a bit. Naturally, I couldn’t resist seeking out any and all places that were selling records along the way, and I’m pleased to say that I came across a handful of gems,…
