August 9, 2012 His name is Michael Beasley. And we here at WBKR are huge fans. Mike has helped us all relax in a most unusual way. Of course, to Mike, there's nothing unusual about it.
After a very nice weekend of weather, we step back in the sauna with a heat index near 105 every afternoon and overnight lows only in the mid 70s - creating dangerous heat conditions. Take care of yourself if you have to work outside and don't forget about your outside pets
Let me start by saying this is one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do - I've been a smokeless tobacco chewer for 20 plus years. I recently got strep throat and it kind of scared me into thinking it could be something worse one of these days - like throat cancer!
June 28, 2012 I read, with great interest, the story of the two Tacoma, Washington students who were sunburned during outdoor school activities because the school has a ban on applying sunscreen. I also read this piece with great horror and aggravation.

June 15, 2012 A few months ago we told you about a group of students from Western Kentucky University, Bike 4 Alz, planning to bike across the country in hopes of raising $175,000 for Alzheimer's research. Well, theyare about 1,000 miles into their journey and made a stop here in Owensboro.
They stopped by the studio this afternoon and I really enjoyed their visit. They are SO much fun and I hope that they not only meet, but exceed their goal!
They will be making several appearances in town today and tomorrow starting with Friday After Five tonight downtown. They even have two hometown boys on the team.
June 13, 2012 The Western Kentucky Regional Blood Center has an immediate need of type A Negative blood donations. Currently they have a high demand for the blood type and existing supplies are diminishing quickly
June 6, 2012 After Monday's workout with Corey Gant at the Y, I was feeling terrific. I always do after a workout. It's just that I hadn't worked out like that in a few years. Well, yesterday and today, I've been reminded what it's like when you get back into a workout routine, especially one like that.
June 5, 2012 I suppose weighing north of 300 pounds would be fine if I were in the NFL. But...I'm not in the NFL. I'm in the WBKR. So, it's past time to take advantage of the training expertise of our good friend Corey Gant at the Athenian.
