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. OK...San Diego would make me happier, but it would take longer to drive through traffic jams to get to the disc course discourse. Scenery would be better though. Come to think of it...does Townsquare Media serve California?

Chart Toppers The Year I Arrived In Cedar Rapids [VIDEOS]
Hard to believe, but it's been 16 years since these four smash hits hit our airwaves. I lived out of (literally on occasion) the Rock N Roll Bunker on ACT Circle in Iowa City in 1998. A year later we moved to the APAC Building here in downtown Cedar Rapids...
FBHW vs. KRNA In “Who Has a More Hygenic Staff Kitchen?” [Rapids To Rapids VIDEOS]
I came across this old Free Beer & Hot Wings video with Producer Steve scanning his station kitchen. Historically across these United States, radio kitchens often sport some pretty disgusting growth. It appears our sister station in "the other Rapids" was in worse shape back then compared to present-day KRNA.

Second Day Added for Insane Inflatable 5K
Does this look like fun or what? I am stoked for our Insane Inflatable 5K. It finally arrives in Cedar Rapids and it's powered by KRNA and GoDaddy.
I've seen these videos before. Competing in this action will be awesome. Take a look and get ready to slide, jump and sail...
Life Is Awesome But We’re Unhappy [VIDEO]
I'm with Louis C.K. and his classic bit about this modern world full of amazing stuff being used by unhappy idiots. I try to appreciate flying 500 MPH at 30,000 feet while snacking on corn nuts and talking to a friend on an air phone.
He has a classic line about how it used to take 30 years to go from NY to L...
What’s the Future of Powdered Alcohol in Iowa?

Rock Out With Your Caucus Out
Our state is starting to attract the quadrennial horde of satellite trucks with cameras pointed at politicians surrounded by bales of hay, tractors and silos. Gotta paint the proper picture of the flyover state.

Non-Basketball Activity Suggestions For Cyclones Fans In Ames This Weekend
This is a sad smile from The Tornado Bird.
#3 Iowa State lost by a bucket to #14 UAB in the first round of the NCAA Tournamant. Grab a Portable Pepto, Cyclone fans. It happens to the best of college basketball teams every year. I remember when I was a kid and that poor DePaul coach Ray Meyer kept losing in the first round...
