Hi everyone!!
Hope everyone has enjoyed this spring weather, and it looks like it'll be a wonderful weekend!
So, while you are prepping the house or cabin for summer, or possibly even getting out on the boat, or even hitting the links... tune into this week's episode to hear from Mark Harlow from HarlowNature.com. Our Listen Local crew has gotten to know Mark very well over the past year and he is definitely one of the most talented Nature Photographers that we know! Mark tells us everything from how he got into the photography industry to moving to the Lakes Area many years ago to where he is at today with his business. He's also a huge proponent of helping individuals that want to learn more about photography, and "doing it the right way."
Find Mark and his latest photos at MN Traders May 10th and 11th, as he will be hosting a vendor pop-up show.We thank Mark for taking time to be on our show, and look forward to seeing the shots he captures this summer!
Also on this episode, the LL crew recaps last weekend's Return the Favor Gala, the Vikings drafting their future, prepping for Cinco de Mayo at Barajas and much, much more!

Good day Listen Localers!
On today's show we catch up with Renee Kardell of Tamarack Creative. Let us tell you though... While we dive into everything Tamarack Creative, that is just the BEGINNING of Renee's story.
From traveling the world - which includes stops in places like Korea, Japan, and a Peace Corp mission in Ethiopia - to eventually deciding to move home to the BLA, and everything in between, Renee already has quite the life story. So tune in to hear about all of that, and what the main reason for moving home and starting Tamarack Creative really was. PLUS Renee, who is a part of the Pequot Lakes Fire Department, will be speaking at Friday's Lakes Area Heroes ``Return the Favor Gala," so she gives us a little teaser on what she's going to focus on with her speech. Thanks again to Renee for joining the show!
Also, the Return the Favor Gala is just the beginning for local BLA events happening over the next few weeks. Jacob and Isaiah cover all of the other happenings, news and things you won't want to miss!

Top of the mornin' to all of our Listen Local friends!
On today's show we go a little outside of the BLA, but someone and something that the state of Minnesota should be very proud of. Joining today's show is Phil Steger who is the man, myth and legend behind the AWARD WINNING Brother Justus Whiskey Company!

Brother Justus Whiskey is an award winning Whiskey Company located in the Twin Cities, that gets their ingredients from all around Minnesota, including their peat from Aitkin.

Colton, Isaiah, and Dr. Andy - who is filling in for Jacob - chat with Phil about the initial idea behind Brother Justus, some of the awards he's most proud of, putting Minnesota on the map, being on Netflix, what to expect in the future, and yes... of course some tasting.

Hellooooo Listen Local Friends and Fam!
What a show we have for you today. DEFINITELY one of the most, if not THE MOST entertaining one yet. The LL Crew is joined by the one... the only... WILD BILL SATRE! And man did they have some fun.
While on the show Bill of course tells us about everything from his backstory, and being a TRUE LOCAL to his "favorites in the Lakes Area," to what it's like being on the Hubbard Brainerd Team with the likes of Tess Taylor, Ken Thomas and the crew there. Plus he even sticks around for the Local Happenings and News segment, and gives his insights on some of the BLA RUMORS!
It was awesome having Bill on the show, and we hope you all enjoy it!
Thanks so much to our sponsors Hanneken Insurance, Lakes Area CPAs, Hills Detailing Center, Posture Pro Chiropractic and of course our presenting sponsor Tyler Gardner with Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation!
