Features, Jokes & More
This is the little corner of the site dedicated to everything that we do that isn't broadcast every Saturday. There are a handful of columns, like our truck driver Russ Ringsak's monthly article, or The View from Mrs. Sundberg's Window, where a regular listener talks about her life on the prairie. There are also some things you can do on the Web site, like adding your comments to Post to the Host, the venerable joke machine, or greetings, where you can post a note to your family and friends. See below for a full list of what we're doing during the rest of the week.
