If you’re in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area tonight, you can catch me on WCCO radio (AM 830) on Sunday night around 7:10pm – 7:30pm with host Dan Geiger; I’ll be talking about the new fall season and some of the new shows. And if that isn’t enough to get you to tune in: Dan’s next interview of the evening is with Dick Smothers (of the Smothers Brothers). I’m just glad I don’t have to follow a Smothers brother. It’s my first time on radio in a lot of years, I hope I do a decent job.
