Take an audio roadtrip through Minnesota with Northern Air. It’s our collection of the best independent public radio that Minnesota has to offer, thanks to our Ampers partner stations.

In between spoken word pieces on Minnesota history, nature, arts, and culture, you’ll hear hundreds of original songs from artists all across the Land of 10,000 Tunes.

Northern Air is made possible by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Find it on the air locally on Pioneer 90.1’s HD-2 signal, streaming on the web, and on the TuneIn app on your phone or tablet.

See the complete list of Northern Air programs here.

Welcome to Pioneer 90.1’s new PolkaCast!

With the help of longtime hosts Ron & Elsie Shereck and Cathy Erickson, we’ve established a tradition of bringing you the best of old-time, polka, and classic country from all across the state of Minnesota.

Now, when The Barndance and Cathy’s Variety Show go off the air, the goodtime music doesn’t stop!

If you are a polka or old-time musician, send us your CD to be played on the PolkaCast.

And if you’d like to host a show, please give us a call at 218-683-8588 or email ksrq@northlandcollege.edu!
