Now my party pad is out in the woods, It’s a long, long way from here to Hollywood....

The entire NARN crew is back in the AM 1280 bunker today as my show The Closer will be broadcasting live from 3:00 pm Central until 4:00.

I am very honored that Mark Heuring, of the power-packed blog Mr. Dilettante's Neighborhood, will be joining me in studio today. Mark and I will take the first segment to discuss the Wisconsin recall elections which took place this past week. As a native of Appleton, WI, Mark has been following the events closely in the Badger state and has some rather keen insights on all that has developed there over the past year or so.

The last three segments will be spent talking NFL Football!!! With Mark being a long-time Packers fan and myself a fan of the Vikings for 30+ years, we will preview the NFC North division and how each of the four teams will fare this upcoming season. We'll go in alphabetical order in terms of the clubs we discuss: Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota.


You can listen live in the Twin Cities at AM 1280 on your radio dial. In and out of the Minneapolis-St Paul area, you can listen to the program on the internet by clicking this link.

And if you're so inclined, follow along on Twitter at #narn or "Like" our Facebook page.

So tune in to the Northern Alliance Radio Network beginning at 1:00 CT, as Mitch Berg will be going solo today on The Headliners. Regular co-host Ed Morrissey is on assignment in Iowa covering the GOP Presidential straw poll. However, we anticipate Ed will call in with a report live from Ames, IA, so you won't want to miss that!!

Until then........
