from Bonnie & Friends · host WDAY Radio - AM 970 and FM 93.1
Welcome back inside the Corwin Subaru Studios! In today’s action-packed episode, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman are sweating through an unseasonable June heatwave as temperatures flirt with near-record 90s. The team breaks down major local updates, including a controversial 4-to-1 West Fargo City Commission vote that put the brakes on a major roundabout project, and the official confirmation of Fargo’s newest Police Chief. Over in sports, Jace slides into the studio to recap a wild night on the ice and the hardwood.
