Made In Minnesota

Joel talks with Val Mackenthun of the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce about the Festivals coming up in July and what Downtown is doing for them!

 Are the Twins turning into a sneaky contender?

We caught up with Kris Atteberry to talk about a team that suddenly looks a whole lot more dangerous. The Twins have won 6 of their last 7 series, picked up their first series win in the Bronx since 2014, and Byron Buxton is finally looking healthy enough to scare people again.

We also got into Luke Keaschall’s new life in right field, what the Twins might do at the trade deadline, and why this group is starting to feel like one nobody wants to see coming.

This week on the ASR, with not much going on in local sports....Joel reviews the Townball season at the 4th of July break for teams.    Joining Joel is John Anderson of the North Star League and the Litchfield Blues, along with Jeremy Stender of the Crow River Valley League. 

Jeremy and Elroy are flying solo for this 4th of July program.  They rundown a bevy of community events, talk about the recent heat wave and even talk about Jeremy's daughter drawing closer and closer to the driving age with her 16th birthday this October.

Jeremy Stender welcomes Tammy Diehn from 2B Continued, as well as Christine Passig and Bill Litzau to promote 2B Continued's upcoming Legends of the Opry in November.  We even get some Patsy Cline and Waylon Jennings performed live in-studio.

Bob and Jeremy welcome in Levi Allen with the Arlington Raceway on Sibley Talk this week.  It's 4th of July and a big weekend at the track.  They also discuss area happenings with a busy July on tap.

Brian and Shannon visit with Katie Wolle about Madelia Park Days

The kids are growing up fast… and Kris Atteberry has had a front-row seat.

We talked with the voice of the Minnesota Twins about the young talent turning into real MLB stars, how the lineup keeps shifting to make room for hot bats, and what life is like on the road in Houston during the World Cup.

Baseball, travel, lineup puzzles, and a few “how is this kid already this good?” moments. This is a fun one for Twins fans.

How does someone become one of the best competitive eaters on the planet… and still stay in shape?

We talked with Miki Sudo about how she got into the world of competitive eating, what “training” actually looks like when your sport involves eating more than seems humanly possible, and how she keeps herself healthy when the rest of us are winded after the appetizer.

It’s fun, fascinating, and may make you rethink what counts as a workout.
