“Here! Eat This” is a radio show hosted by Patty and Tim Michels broadcast every Thursday night from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM on WRLR 98.3 FM. Combining their love for cooking and entertainment they developed the unique idea for a cooking show on the radio. Re-igniting the old thought of “When Radio was King” they avoided the hot lights of the TV studio and went to the theater of the mind. Going over recipes that start out with tantalizing appetizers through to after dinner cocktails, there is also the occasional music selection and thought provoking quizes thrown in as well as some light hearted banter. The occasional restaurant review of local eateries in the Round Lake and surrounding areas are also provided. If you are looking for new and sometimes different recipe or entertaining ideas take a listen to us this Thursday night.

Mondays 9:00AM to Noon

How does it feel to know that the world needs your talents and gifts?  How great would it feel to be looking forward and solution and strengths focused, rather than looking backward and problem and weakness focused? How great would it feel to be living your life out of inspiration rather than desperation?  Listen to “Life Outside the Box” and learn how go from where you are to where you want to be.  As your coach, my mission is to unlock your full potential by helping you re-connect your head with your heart to find the answers and direction you seek.   You’ll learn to get your ship together to create the joy, love, fun, and success that you desire in your life’s journey and you’ll do it on your terms!  Even though this might sound like a lofty goal, it really isn’t. It all comes down to one thing – you can live your life any way you choose, and the more you become aware of that, the more you are  the cause, instead of the effect of your life.

Old Time Radio - Something Old and Exciting!

We're going back to the days when prime time meant sitting in front of a tall wooden cabinet which was delivering only sound. The media center was a Philco, Zenith, or perhaps an Admiral console radio. We watched as our mental images provided the details in brilliant Hi-Definition.

Tune in your imagination and return to the classic comedies, adventures and dramas enjoyed by previous generations. You'll see for yourself that the shows are timeless.

Prime time now is on 98.3 FM WRLR Tuesday mornings at 9:00.
