Hey I know it's just a song, but it's spice for the recipe...

Happy Opening Day of Major League Baseball!! While there's a lot to talk about on the MLB front, there are other issues to get to on today's edition of The Closer. The 1-hour extravaganza begins at 2:00 PM Central Time.

Right at 2:00 I'll be joined by long time friend of the broadcast Julia Erynn of Alpha News. This past week the MN Legislature addressed the issue of the University of Minnesota purchasing fetal tissue from an abortion clinic, a story AN broke last fall. Julia also reported Wednesday on the announcement from Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman that he would not pursue charges against two Minneapolis police officers in the killing of Jamar Clark last November.

Then at 2:30 I welcome to the studio Miss Brainerd Lakes Danielle Hron. A medical student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Medical School, Danielle is passionate about improving access to healthcare. We'll also discuss an upcoming fundraiser Danielle is organizing to benefit the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals as well as her prep for the Miss Minnesota pageant in June.


So please give me a call at (651) 289-4488 if you'd like to weigh in on any of the topics I plan on addressing. You can also text comments/questions to (651) 243-0390.

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, or check us out via iheart radio. 

Even though I have a face for radio, there is a UStream channel where you can watch the broadcast, if you so desire. Check it out here.  

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

Until then.....
