My weekly contribution to the “Between You and Me” program on 91.7 KAXE will once again be “a little different” this week. It’s not an essay; it’s … more. The independent public radio station is in the midst of its fall fundraiser, which is crucial to KAXE’s ability to provide the best local programming and news coverage in northern Minnesota. “Between You and Me” runs between 10 a.m. and noon on Saturday and this week the show will feature continuing exploration of gossip in northern Minnesota.
In case you’re new to this, KAXE takes its regular fundraisers as an opportunity for entertainment, asking for money while creating some elaborate situation for listeners and members to participate in. This time, the concept is a radio tabloid called “The Northern Observer” that spits out gossip and hearsay about people in the KAXE community. On Saturday, all I can say is that it’s quite likely I’ll be drawn into the muck.
I’m ready, muckers. I’m ready.
And if you are not a member of KAXE yet, you are dead to me. Dead.
Meantime, my regular essays will resume next week. Tune in to the show on Saturday between 10 a.m. and noon or streaming online at www.kaxe.org.
