I know, I know, it's not even October yet. That hasn't stopped polls from coming out already as to what people are wanting and/or giving for Christmas this year. And, apparently, the things we want most are experiences, not necessarily the latest tech gadget. A new study from OnePoll says that 54 percent of Americans [...]
We're approaching the final quarter of 2021 (yes, already), which means end of the year lists! BabyCenter.com has released the most popular baby names of 2021, at least according to Google trends. For girls, Olivia has been leading pretty much all year for girls (mostly because of this Olivia), while Liam is the top trending [...]
It is New Music Friday! Check out our playlist on Spotify, which includes some new singles from Cody Johnson, Cody Jinks, Eddie Montgomery, and more. Plus, a couple of tracks from Mickey Guyton's new album, "Remember Her Name," as well as RaeLynn's "Baytown."
We're not even out of September yet, but apparently 16 percent of Americans have already started shopping for Christmas. YouGov did a poll of Americans and their plans for shopping for the holidays, with 17 percent planning on waiting until just before Thanksgiving to start. Another 14 percent will start sometime in October. This particular [...]
The air is crisp, the leaves...well, some of them are falling, but they haven't quite started turning colors yet. BUT! Fall is here, officially! There are a bunch of activities to do in the area this fall, from pumpkin patches, to corn mazes, and football games where the temperature has dropped just enough that hot [...]
The college interns that write for Rolling Stone decided to update the publication's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time for the first time in 17 years. I assume they are college interns, anyway. That's the only excuse I can see for including songs released in the last two years anywhere on this list, including BTS. Now [...]
The holiday seasoned is coming up, and, since a good chunk of us are vaxxed and ready to get our nog on, you might want to book your flight soon. Like, now. The travel app Hopper used an algorithm that looked at travel trends and prices from previous years to determine when the best time [...]
After a year away (coughthankscovidcough), Purple Power Play returns to get the Wildcat nation hyped up for the home opener Saturday against Southern Illinois. The pep rally will look different in 2021, however. For starters, it is one night only on Friday. The other change is that it will be at Blue Earth Plaza, rather [...]
Back to school is an exciting time, and not just for kids (and parents). It also means fall is right around the corner. Which means hunting season. There are some hunting seasons already underway. Those include: Elk (outside Fort Riley) (Firearms): 8/1-8/31 Bullfrog: 7/1-10/31 Squirrel: 6/1-2/28/22 (ED NOTE: Or everyday if you're my dog.) Running (bobcat, [...]
Because lists get clicks, a Minnesota newspaper writer put together the dumbest songs of all time. So, technically, his readers put together the list. Which may explain why most of the songs came from before 1980. That was low-hanging fruit, I know. Here, we'll poke fun at Country music a little. I'm surprised "Red Solo [...]
