Well, January started in a blur and ended in a blast, an Arctic one that is. With wind chills hovering around the -50 degree mark, much of Mankato, and the Midwest as a whole, came to a standstill during the closing week of the month. It was so brutal outside that we weren’t able to get up to the KMSU studios to do a new show for Thursday, January 31st, so we just had to air the previous week’s show. That’s only happened a few times in our 13+ years of doing Free Form Freakout, but believe us, there was no good reason to leave the house (except maybe to go a buy a six-pack of beer to help endure the cabin fever). Anyways, thanks for checking in with us. We have several interesting developments happening around the show in the coming months, so we hope you’ll check in with us from time-to-time.
