The Daily Rundown for The CG Program
WDAY and Area Voices have set up a site for my radio program that will now be the home for your morning update on guests, topics, features and other goodies on the show that day. My producer, Erik Matson, has graciously taken on the responsibility of putting it together every day. Although he doesn’t gripe, he does [...]

On today’s program, we’ll attempt to restore order after yesterday’s rollicking mayhem with James Denton, Jay Thomas and Tracy Briggs. Man crushes, stolen security cards and James timing yellow lights in boxer shorts before heading to the studio to film Desperate Housewives…it’s A to Z on this program! So then, on the program today we [...]

On today’s program, Stormtracker Meteorologist Rob Kupec joins me in studio filling in for the vacationing Daryl Richison. Also, it’s New Music Thursday. However – I’m told by our crack staff (Erik) that our musical guests may…may…not be able to make it in this morning. Apparently, due to some scheduling conflicts, we’re looking at a [...]

On today’s program, Dr. Neale Fretwell (Head Companion Animal Geneticist at Mars Veterinary) joins us to talk about DNA for animals. He developed the Wisdom Panel MX test.

On today’s program, our Monday Sports Wrap regular, Dom Izzo, returns! Well…we think he returns. He’s back from vacation but the question remains: Is he back in the CG fold or, do we need to go to the bullpen and bring in the closer, Stephanie Goetz? Find out in hour number two. Also, we’ve been [...]

On today’s program, we’ll be going live to the news conference announcing the merger of MeritCare and Sanford Health. We’ll talk about it with Al Amodt and break down the bullet points. And we’ll want to hear from you on whether or not you think this will be a good thing for our area. On [...]

On Thursday’s program, I’ll be broadcasting live from the Fargo Street Fair. This will be my first broadcast out in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Being that I’m only six weeks into the program, I think it’s a safe bet a version of the following conversation will take place: A: Who is this guy? B: I don’t know. [...]

On Wednesday’s program, I’ll welcome Michelle Kittleson in studio. She’s stopping by to discuss Viking Village 2009. We’ll also have our weekly Simple Tips for Green Living with syndicated Green Living writer Wendy Gabriel…same last name, same household. Our talkers include last night’s MLB All-Star Game. Does the game still hold magic for you? Also, [...]

On Monday’s Christopher Gabriel Program, we’ll be talking about a searing article from the Wall Streat Journal written by former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, Peggy Noonan. Ms. Noonan’s topic: Sarah Palin. I’ve not seen anything quite as vicious as what what was written here…and remember, Peggy Noonan is a conservative writer working for a very conservative paper. Also, Forum Editor [...]
