Start your morning with local storytelling, insight, and important civic conversation across the Riverbend!
At 9:20 AM, we’re joined by Tom Emery to talk about his new book and the stories, history, and experiences that inspired it. Tom will share what readers can expect, why this project mattered to him, and how his work connects to the broader story of our region. It’s a thoughtful conversation about writing, perspective, and preserving stories that deserve to be told.
As the morning continues, we’ll keep you informed with your daily dose of local news and updates from around the Riverbend, highlighting community happenings, headlines, and events you need to know about.
Then at 10:35 AM, Linda Andreas, Madison County Clerk, joins us for an important conversation about her re-election bid and the work her office continues to do for voters across the county. We’ll talk about election administration, transparency, voter access, and what lies ahead as the next election cycle approaches.
A morning filled with storytelling, civic engagement, and local insight — right here in the Riverbend.
