With our new schedule (recording and air-time on Mondays) we can’t quite get organized in time to line up guests so once again, it was just us yammering, mainly about the Council’s skatepark decision and subsequent plan to proceed without the PRAB’s input.

We got back in KYMN’s studio this week (new air-time 6:00 PM Mondays) and covered a bunch of local issues after a brief visit from Julie Bixby who talked about her recent participation in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (breast cancer) in the Twin Cities. I neglected to get a photo of Julie so I stole one of her with her grandson Luke from the Cow’s website.

Our guest this week apparently was Ward 2 Councilor and blogger Betsey Buckheit, discussing the state of the Northfield City Council now that she’s served for 100+ days.

Our radio show/podcast guest, on this bright and warm first day of April, was Stan Getts, the publisher of the Northfield News. We took off the gloves and challenged him on several of the paper’s policies but he handled himself remarkably well. He’s clearly a passionate guy.
