RightOnline Review Wednesday at 2 PM
Jon Bruning Interview Thursday at 8 AM

Last weekend I was at RightOnline in Minneapolis. It was an amazing experience! I took part in some great breakout sessions covering social media and important issues we’re currently facing. There was amazing speeches by Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Andrew Breitbart, Ann McElhinney, Tim Pawlenty among others.
After the session was over on Friday night, myself, Jeremy Jensen and Patrick Roy ventured over to the NetRoots conference going on across the street. Their session was over too and the only people around were security guards. To our surprise they had left a lot of their materials on tables. We quickly grabbed everything we could. We picked up some interesting material. Today, I’ll talk about what we found along with everything else from RightOnline with Jeremy Jensen, Patrick Roy and Taylor Gage. That show will air live at 2:00 PM.
Here’s one of the wonderful things we found at the friendly confines of NetRoots….Republican Voodoo dolls stuffed with shredded elephant crap. Seriously! Over the next week I’ll be posting some of the other crap we found at NetRoots at badgerbenson.com

Join me, Jeremy, Patrick and Taylor Gage today at 2:00 PM as we talk about our experience at RightOnline and go through the material we took from NetRoots.
I also got to meet Andrew Breitbart and S.E. Cupp!

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!

After opening the gifts check out the Badger Benson Show for the first ever Golden George Awards! If you miss it, not to worry…all shows are available for download or playback from the show page www.blogtalkradio.com/badger-benson or here at www.badgerbenson.com  – just click on the BlogTalkPlayer.

The Golden George Awards are inspired by the George Bailey character from the holiday classic “It’s A wonderful Life”, played by Jimmy Stewart. The awards are given to those people, communities and organizations that best showcase the Christmas spirit. They are the real life George Bailey’s and Bedford Falls of America!

Nominees were submitted by listeners and Badger himself. The first class in 2010 includes 12 different individuals or groups ranging from Badger’s relatives (nominated by others), to athletes, towns, churches, a group of high school students, from locally in Nebraska/Iowa and across the nation.

Hopefully it’ll be a new Christmas tradition!

This week we start our series of holidays shows for 2010. We’re looking forward to this and hope that you’ll join us. We aim to take these next weeks and get away from politics and focus on this time of the year – The reason for the season. What we can be thankful for. The true story of Thanksgiving. The true story of Christmas. Along the way we’ll also have a lot of fun – exploring the secular aspects of the holidays that we all enjoy and love. Then we’ll close it all out over New Years week with a Year in Review and a New Years Eve celebration. Join us starting this Friday as we kick-off this special time of year!

Join me today at noon on BTR for the official announcement of our series of holiday specials!

Can believe it’s November 5th! Thanksgiving will be here fast! And Christmas is only 49 days away! Here at the Badger Den we’ve noticed how many people seem to already be in the mood this year. We think it has to do with the nature of the world right now. So we’re going to get away from all the crud for the next two months and devote time to this wonderful time of the year.

First we’ll do two or three shows about Thanksgiving, with replays on Thanksgiving and the day after.

Our Christmas Countdown Series will start on November 22nd and the second show on November 29th – with a new show every Monday and Tuesday leading up to Christmas. Christmas weekend will feature replays of the previous shows. Also with the Christmas Countdown Series we’ll be putting together condensed versions of the radio show for viewing on Youtube.

We’ll end everything with a New Years special.

With each of these we want to explore from the religious and humanities aspects – a sort of history lesson and exploring what makes them so special and the cultural implications today.

So join the Badger Den as we take a look at this special time of year. We’ll post an official schedule later today or this weekend.
