Brown on the Air: BEING SINGLE

This week's topic on Saturday morning's "Between You and Me" show on KAXE celebrates Valentine's Day by talking about the perils and pitfalls of being single in northern Minnesota. My regular contribution explains how my relatively early marriage prevented me from a chain smoking, deeply awkward hardscrabble bachelor life on the Iron Range. Also I talk about what married people really think about setting up their single friends with their other single friends.

"Between You and Me" airs on 91.7 KAXE from 10 a.m. to noon every Saturday. Each week host Heidi Holtan, myself and a few other contributors, and the people of northern Minnesota explore a broad topic with stories, perspective and great music.
