  • Remembering B.J. Muus & Leonard Sobanja

    Grand Marais has mourned the loss of a number of community members recently, including B.J. Muus earlier this month and Leonard Sobanja last November. Both B.J. and Leonard had connections to WTIP – B.J. was the longtime host of “Sounds of the Spirit” on Sunday nights, and Leonard was the striking voice heard in the “Moments in Time” features. We recently aired an archived program from February 2020, featuring conversations with both and WTIP’s Rhonda Silence. You can listen to the program anytime using the link below.

  • Northern Gardening

    Gardening can be tough in Cook County, and many local gardeners have turned to community gardens to ease some of the challenges together. With community gardens in place at several locations in Grand Marais, a program in Grand Portage, and a proposed community garden in Tofte, they’re a hot topic in the area. Click on the link below to listen to a wide-ranging discussion on the subject.
