Send us a text Black Friday on The Morning Brew brings the perfect mix of holiday cozy and hometown pride. We kick things off with another Hallmark Christmas Movie Review from Andrea—this time rating “A Carol for Two,” complete with a plot twist, musical charm, and a solid cocoa score. Then it’s all about football Friday. We spotlight the St. Johns Redskins as they gear up for the 2A State Championship and the Round Valley Elks heading into their 3A title match on Saturday. Good luck to both ...
Send us a text It’s the last show before Thanksgiving, and things get wonderfully chaotic in all the right ways. We kick off with a special holiday edition of Boo or Cool with Show Low’s Dave Ramsey—stretchy pants? Boo. Green bean casserole with crunchy onions? Boo. Olives on fingertips? Boo. And yes, the dessert table must have pumpkin pie. Then Jineane Ford joins us from Majik 101.7 and iTalk 106.7 for Am I the Jerk Court, tackling a spicy family dilemma: a last-minute invite to Thanksgivin...
Send us a text It was Talk About Something Good Tuesday, and the phones absolutely lit up.

Andrea jumped in with another Hallmark Christmas movie review, this time putting Three Wisest Men under the microscope and serving up a four-cup-of-hot-cocoa r...

From the generosity in the room to a certain battery-powered Christmas jacket lighting up the night, it was a weekend full of heart. We roll right into the theme of gratitude with some Tha...
Send us a text Love can sound like a melody you’ve known your whole life—and today you get to hear it grow up on the air. We sit down with Nathan and Emily Shoemaker, a duo whose story runs from high school hallways to late-night songwriting sessions at the kitchen table, and celebrate the first radio spin of their single Aged Wine. From the first chord on a vintage Epiphone Texan to the line that stops time—“my dream was you”—they walk us through how a shared life becomes a shared song, and ...
Send us a text It’s a stormy start to the week on The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett and Best Friends! 🌧️ We kick off with a Fire Marshal Minute from JD Pepper of Timber Mesa Fire Department — talking real cold-weather safety: checking smoke alarms, swapping batteries, and why creosote in your chimney can turn cozy fires into costly disasters. 🔥 Then Chris catches up with his lifelong buddy Ryan McKee, who just had his first fight with his 21-year-old roommate — and shares a surprising twist...
Send us a text We kick things off with my wife’s official Hallmark Christmas Movie Review, breaking down Christmas On Duty — from the snowstorm setup to the slow-burn romance, the three-cup-cocoa score, and yes… even the suspiciously well-placed brand mentions. Then the cozy holiday vibe crashes straight into Am I the Jerk Court, where Paul from Beaumont helps judge a case involving two roommates, a high-end litter box, and one allegedly smelly cat. A $50 “pet smell fee”? A retaliatory “cat-c...

Send us a text What happens after the scroll that shouldn’t have happened? We sit with a listener’s gut-punch moment—finding old texts where her boyfriend admits he still isn’t over his ex—and chart a smarter way forward that doesn’t torch trust or self-respect. Instead of racing into a confrontation built on a privacy breach, we talk about slowing the timeline, watching for patterns, and letting people be who they are. If he’s truly present, the daily signals will show it; if he’s not, stepp...

Send us a text A first U.S. radio spin is never just a milestone—it’s a jolt.
