Hosts Will Healy and Rob Ryden, two preachers with wisdom beyond their years, spin a few records but mostly discuss the things in life that cause one to stray from the original point.

On A Tangent - The Minnesota State Fair 8/25/25

Juneteenth to the Fourth of July
Rob and Will are back, to discuss the importance of Juneteenth, and Independence Day, and all the philosophical feels that go with both holidays.

Time 3/24/25

Light and Dark 2/24/25
Rob Ryden and Will Healy return with a show full of music based around this month’s theme of light and dark. Not sure they actually talk about the theme, but that was the intent.
