Welcome back to another episode of the Listen Local Podcast!

On today's show the crew catches up with Lakes Jam General Manager Ken Lacy and Emcee Mike Schmidt to discuss all thing Lakes Jam 2025. While yes, the LL crew will be on site doing shows each day, this episode is all about what to expect this, what wall went into this year's Lineup, some of the non-music shows and activities, and really diving into some of the behind the scenes work that both Mike and Ken deal with each year. Plus, there may or may not have been the term "sex symbol" thrown out there during this segment....

Also, before those guys hop on the show, we did get a surprise guest call-in from our wonderful Pequot Lakes Mayor and sponsor of this wonderful show, Tyler Gardner to get a QUICK high-level update on last week's meeting with Governor Tim Walz while he was in town for the Governors Fishing Opener. Tyler talks about some of the key points that were brought up by himself and other local Mayors and Officials such as Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst, who was the driving force behind the meeting.

Thanks to both Tyler as well as Ken and Mike for taking time to join the show this week.

And as always... Thanks to our sponsors Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation, Hanneken Insurance, Hills Detailing Center, Craguns Legacy Courses, Pequot Lakes EDC, Refined Lending w/ John Kinkaede, Party Time Rental and our Presenting Sponsor Lakes Area CPAs!
