The Journey So Far
Spirit Road History
Spirit Road
Radio began
broadcasting in February 2006. Sponsored by the AFSCME
labor union, our first show highlighted today’s childcare
crisis and the work to organize MN childcare workers. Since
then we aired monthly on AM 950-KTNF for three years. Each
August we’d broadcast live from the MN State Fair. Over
thirty-six shows we developed and tightened the format
while clarifying our mission. Past guests include:

Walsch, Conversations With
God author, and Steven
