Brown on the Air: ALL THINGS NOVEMBER
This week my contribution to the Saturday morning radio juggernaut “Between You and Me” on 91.7 KAXE is a true experiment.

Tune in to KAXE‘s “Between You and Me” this Saturday morning for a conversation about laundry, specifically stories of amusing and/or outrageous laundry shenanigans.

Tune in Saturday morning for my weekly contribution to 91.7 KAXE‘s call in and music program “Between You and Me.” This week’s topic is “Your Town.” What makes your town special, different or important?

Brown on the Air: DOLLS!
My regular contribution to 91.7 KAXE‘s Saturday morning call-in/music show “Between You and Me” joins this week’s rather unusual topic: dolls.

This week’s topic on “Between You and Me” is chickens.

Brown on the Air: MEMORIZED POETRY
My contribution to this week’s edition of 91.7 KAXE‘s “Between You and Me” program this Saturday morning joins the show’s topic of “Memorized Poetry.” The theme sounds vague, but you’ll get it when you hear it.

Brown on the Air: BWCA!
As seems to be my failing of late, I once again forgot to promote my weekly contribution to KAXE’s “Between You and Me” program which aired this morning on the independent northern Minnesota public station.

Brown on the Air: FLEETING SUMMER
Tune in this Saturday morning to hear my meager contribution to a great northern Minnesota radio show “Between You and Me” on 91.7 KAXE.
