Grant PetersonHOST · WESTBROOK, MN
Grant has hosted from the same folding card table on the south shore for thirty-one years, give or take a flood. He keeps the coffee hot, the questions kind, and the show running about four minutes long every single week. If you've got a story, Grant's got a chair and most of a thermos.
OLOle
Co-host · Lena's better half
Owns three snowblowers and one good joke, which he tells weekly. We keep him on because Lena comes with him.
LNLena
Co-host · Ole's sharper half
Corrects Ole in real time, on the air, for free. Eleven-time bake-off champ. Do not get between her and the bars.
HDHilda
Trinity Lutheran Ladies' Aid
If you've been to a funeral in this county, you've eaten her hotdish. Runs the coffee, the bars, and quietly, the town.
CSCoach Sorenson
Loons athletics desk
Brings the scores, the standings, and at least one kid who'd rather be anywhere else. Believes in fundamentals and orange slices.
EREarl
The depot man · 6:04 train
Knows every train through here since 1971 and the exact second it ran late. Blows the show's whistle. Literally.
