What's up, Braski, it's Sharkansas, stinkiest fish in the Wapsi. I love to disc golf while listening to KRNA on my Radio Pup App. Sometimes when I hear Incubus while at Legion Park in Marion, the plastic flies straighter. Don't deny the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. of the trajectory. Been doing this KRNA radio thing on and off for a decade and a half and couldn't be happier that it's being done here in Cedar Rapids.

Come to think of it...does Townsquare Media serve California?
