Jearlyn Steele

On the final Center Stage of 2021, Jearlyn catches up with:

Michael has the night off, so Jearlyn chats with in-studio producer Jonathan Lowe about some of the ways COVID has left its imprint.  Topics they discuss include balancing the emotions of pandemic life, the impact on local restaurants, and how we all can move past this.

Are you sleeping well during this pandemic?  How can you enhance your sleep cycle?  Jearlyn asks University of St. Thomas Scientific Director (College of Arts & Sciences) Dr. Roxanne Prichard.  Then, our host lets us know how she has handled the last 18-plus months.

What should we expect once a civil case is brought against Kim Potter?  Local attorney Jeff Storms is working on that case and gives us an idea.  Star Tribune music critic Jon Bream reviews the year in music.  Are we destined for a change in how we go to shows?

This week's announcement that the state will be working with a $7.7 billion surplus for the next budget has many buzzing.  How would you use this potential windfall to help folks around Minnesota?  Jearlyn asks the listening audience for their input.
