Author: Wednesday marks a special occasion for the Badger Den. It’s the 100th broadcast of the show on BlogTalkRadio. To mark the event some special guests have been lined up.
Headliner – Daren Gardner of the Constitution Ride Across America will share his thoughts about his ride. Also he’ll be speaking at the Freedom Jamboree event in Kansas City. He’ll tell us all about that.
Jeremy Jensen with Americans For Prosperity will fill us in on the latest news and issues in Nebraska.
My old college professor Dr. Bob Milliken from Nebraska Christian College will drop by to tell us about the Thought and Humanities program at NCC. Dr. Bob is one of my mentors and a great inspiration.
We’ll check in with Caiden Cowger, 12 year old radio host and fellow BlogTalkRadio member.
And an old friend Joe Garnet of joegarnet.com will talk about life in California.
Also on tap – American Folklore segment on Paul Bunyan. The second inductee into the AmeriCANS Hall of Fame will be done – nominees are George Washington, Henry Ford, Lewis and Clark, John Wayne and Benjamin Franklin.
I’ll also preview two upcoming shows – former FBI Agent Ted Gunderson will join me sometime in April. Next week I’ll play the interview I did with my Great uncle Bill, a WWII Vet who escaped from Germany. I’ll play clips from that interview tomorrow.
Join me as I celebrate the 100th broadcast of the Badger Benson Show!
