Early Bird Fishing Guide with Jeff Sundin

Leah Lemm brings us episode 39 of Northern Voices. For her conversation this week, Leah visits with Sam Zimmerman, an artist and author of the recent book Following My Spirit Home, published by Black Bears and Blueberries publishing. In their conversation, Sam tells the story that inspired one of his paintings, where as a child, his father tried to trick his grandmother to get out of berry picking. Click the player above to hear the whole story and learn more about Sam's art, what he learned from the pandemic, and what drew him home to the place of his family.

There are 66 State Parks in Minnesota, and each one has its own history, attractions, and character. Instead of choosing which one to visit this summer, one intrepid travel has set out to experience all of them. Yes, all of them. Luke Gorski, senior at South Dakota State University, has begun a summer-long journey to set foot in each of the Minnesota State Parks. Luke is adding Minnesota to his resume after hiking every state park in Iowa and South Dakota in recent years. To tell us more about his pilgrimage, Luke joined Heidi Holtan and John Lattimer on the KAXE/KBXE Morning. To listen to the full interview, click the player at the top of the page.

Michael Lyons brings us Natasha and Nanaboozhoo.
