Brown on the Air: TREES!

Brown on the Air: MOM vs. FISH!
This week’s edition of “Between You and Me,” the Saturday morning call-in and music radio sensation on 91.7 KAXE, explores a thorny topic in northern Minnesota.

Brown on the Air: BEER!
The topic for Saturday morning’s edition of “Between You and Me” is beer. What more needs to be said? I will be defending cheap, accessible beer sold in 30 packs against an army of microbrew radicals. If I don’t make it, pour a can of Busch Light on my grave every year. And no, you…

Support independent media by becoming a KAXE fan
Today’s “Between You and Me” program on 91.7 KAXE kicks off the station’s goal of getting 1,000 Facebook fans before the station’s 33rd birthday next Thursday. Ironically, this is the same sort of thing that many 33-year-olds who rely on the generosity of others like to do. Wocka wocka! In all seriousness, KAXE has a…
