Lori Walsh

On today's show...

Kevin McNew is chief economist with Farmers Business Network. He reviews their latest acreage report.

We welcome historian and author April White. Her new book is called The Divorce Colony. It's a deeply researched and page-turning true story. We get to know the 19th century women who redefined marriage by taking advantage of South Dakota's liberal divorce laws.

Kevin Woster finds love and marriage after divorce and celebrates 20 years. Marcella Remund shares a love poem for her husband.

Plus, musician, artist, rapper, podcast host, intellectual. The ever-fascinating Dessa stops by the studio.
