Chad Hartman

Quick stop from our friend Jeff Day who shares his first person experience to the events that had unfolded on Wednesday morning and others they have connected with from that area!

Chad shares a story of an at home experience he had and we bring you the listeners into the conversation on ‘dumb things we have done at home’.

Labor Day is over, which means it's officially back to school for all of America. Here, we dive into the latest in topics, including tech that can save lives ... and shorten lifespans. Plus, how much help with homework is okay and how to teach your kids about AI.

Washington DC is amidst its longest stretch without murders in recent history under federal intervention ordered by Donald Trump as he wonders aloud if San Francisco, Chicago and other big cities will be next, and many raise questions over his firing of a member of the Federal Reserve.

Jon Bream joins The Chad Hartman Show to kick off the third and final hour of the program. Jon Bream is celebrating a giant milestone at the Star Tribune. Chad asks if he ever considered working at another paper. Jon says no, covering Prince from the start to the end of his career was something he knew to stick around for. They discuss the early days of covering Prince in the late 1970’s, the performances he saw that stood out the most, guardedness certain artists had during interviews and how unlikely it would be to get an interview for a newspaper with a musical artist today.

Susie then drops by the studio to provide a news update as another press conference for information about the mass shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School's church in South Minneapolis.

Then, Jason DeRusha joins Chad at the WCCO Radio Booth at the State Fair to parse through their thoughts on yesterday and who they’re feeling empathy for at this moment. They tee off on people who are worried about enhancing their brands on the back of tragedies like we experienced yesterday.

A conversation with former Major League Baseball umpire Tim Tschida to start the second hour of The Chad Hartman Show. Chad asks his thoughts on when we will see robots take over behind the plate, Tim doesn’t think it will happen.

They chat about how professionals make the difficult look so easy. “There’s no such thing as a routine play” says Tim. Chad then asks if Tim thinks Bob Manfred (Commissioner of MLB) is good or bad for their sport. Tim thinks too many suits have infiltrated the brass of the league and that they think they know everything. He also offers some names who he thinks would be a better fit for the Commissioner job.

Chad is joined by local restauranter Vincent Francoul to talk about what happened in the mass shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School's church in South Minneapolis. His daughter Chloe attends the school. We thank Vincent for his bravery and creating space to share his story with us today.

Vincent details his experience learning that something was wrong and rushing to the school yesterday to find and retrieve his daughter. He talks about the humanity he’s seen on display in his community amidst this trauma.

In the second segment, they try to make sense of the direction the Twins are taking and Tim details what’s different about the relationship between players/managers/umpires has changed over the years and why.

It’s the day after a horrific tragedy in our community. Chad will be bouncing back and forth between conversation grappling with what we experienced yesterday and our normally scheduled State Fair programming.

First, a visit with Matt LLoyd (newly promoted General Manager of the Timberwolves) to kick off the first hour of the The Chad Hartman Show.

Chad comes to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s defense about “thoughts and prayers aren’t enough”.

Chad is joined by Congresswoman Angie Craig. Chad starts the conversation with what stood out most to her yesterday when she attended the candlelight vigil held in the community that’s suffering so heavily.

Congresswoman Craig opens up about processing what happened through her lens as a grandmother. She then expands into her stance on banning assault rifles in our country and other pieces of legislation targeting gun violence that she’s involved in on the Hill.
