My weekly essay on KAXE’s Saturday morning call-in and music show “Between You and Me” will deal with the program’s rotating topic of “swimming.” Tune in between 10 a.m. and noon for one of northern Minnesota’s most interesting cultural phenomena. My piece, which usually airs between 10:15 and 10:45, will focus on my inability to swim. Rather, I flail. As usual I spin this into a bit of wit and witticism worthy of any edition of Readers Digest.

You can tune in between 10 a.m. and noon Saturday on 91.7 FM in northern Minnesota or stream the broadcast live anywhere in the world at www.kaxe.org.
