KFGO brought home some hardware this weekend winning a dozen Sevareid Awards for best in radio. Afternoons Live won an award for Talk/Public Affairs. Not only does our show have the largest audience in afternoon talk, but we're also award-winning radio.

Our podcast Capitol Punishment also received an award. The podcast tells the story of the multiple scandals in ND politics. More episodes will be released soon.

I'm proud of our work, our team, and the recognition from the industry. I'm also incredibly humbled and honored that so many people listen and join the conversation weekdays 2-5 pm on KFGO.

Change is essential; let’s make it clear that ethics, not obstruction, is what we demand from North Dakota politicians.

All right, as we push towards the conclusion of this legislative session in North Dakota, it's crucial that we...

There have been at least 2 high-profile abuse of office in North Dakota as of late. First, Rep. Jason Dockter was found to have violated the law in his conduct of appropriating tax dollars to the Attorney General's building he was involved in. Second, the sentencing of former Sen. Ray Holmberg described his corruption and abuse of office for decades.

These examples should lead to more support for the North Dakota Ethics Commission created by voters. Instead, politicians are trying to tie the hands of the Commission.

Turns out "deplorable" was too polite.

The ghouls who took a moment of unconditional love between a son and his father and turned it into a moment to trash talk, demean and be cruel need to be call out. They aren't the party of family values, nor decency. They are DEPLORABLE. To put it mildly. More Republicans need to call out the behavi...

Some observations on the continued "outrages" from the Paris Olympics.

The anger spreading across your social media feed about women's boxing in the Paris Olympics is based on misrepresentations at best or a lie at its worst. The Algerian boxer was born a woman. Was raised as a woman. And won. As. A. Woman. I'm convinced there is a clock somewhere that counts down unti...

Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller is afraid of tough conversations. If all we are left to do is listen to the same manufactured ads, we will dissect them. For example, she claims she isn't a politician, when in fact she is the worst kind of politician.

The slow drip of information has led to people’s conspiracy theories and frustrations. People want their records back. They want answers. The sooner they are given to the public, the better.
