I grew up on a small farm near Leota, Minnesota in the Southwest part of Minnesota. I began my radio career at KWYR in Winner, then on to KKAA in Aberdeen, KV91 in Volga/Brookings, a variety of stations in Rapid City and for the last more than a few years in Sioux Falls. I reached the top of the radio food chain that is KXRB in 2007 and haven't been kicked off yet! Join me weekdays from 3-6PM for our three hour afternoon energy drink 'The McDaniel Mess'. Prizes, fun and of course the greatest country music ever recorded! I have 2 kids and 5 Grandchildren. And yes, they all still like me fine.

South Dakota’s Best Under A Grand: Centerville, Population 882
Well, that's an interesting name.
Centerville.
Now, a lot of South Dakota towns were named after someone associated with the railroad. You see, a lot of towns in South Dakota (and I'll bet just about every state) were formed when the railroad folks decided to run the rails through a certain …

I’m At Work And I Want To Slap Somebody! Are You Available?

Sports History: When And Why Did Boston Become New England?
The New England Patriots just won't go away. Man oh man, they have been around forever!
Well, no they haven't. In fact, the New England Patriots weren't even New England back in the day. And did you know there was a chance you would be cheering for (or hating) the Bay State Patriots...

Whatever Happened To Red Owl?
As I remember it, every town had one. Now, of course, every town didn't have one. But to a ten-year-old kid, it sure seemed like it.
A Red Owl grocery store.
Now this was, uh, a few years (decades) before the advent of the 'Super Store' or the 'Super Center'...

How Good Is South Dakota Dental Health?
Going to the dentists.
OK, it totally honesty, it may not be one of the top ten things you enjoy doing. But it sure is a whole lot better than in the 'olden days'. Some of the stories I've read about taking care of toothaches a hundred years ago are...

NASCAR Dropping The Hammer On Cheaters
It's a quaint and cute old saying.
'If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.

What’s The Median Age Of Sioux Falls Residents?
When I meander, stroll and walk (some say stumble) around Sioux Falls, it seems to me that people are getting younger.
No, it's not that I'm getting older, I'm still young and spry and vibrant...as long as I take my Ibuprofen and don't try any sudden moves...
