It has to be funny. This is the winning philosophy of the Power Trip Morning Show on KFAN FM 100.3 in Minneapolis. With double-digit ratings in their back pocket, you can’t argue with the approach. Their success speaks for itself. There are three main hosts — Chris Hawkey, Cory Cove, and Meatsauce [Paul Lambert] — as well as a rotation of about 15 people that join the show every week.

Sometimes we forget why we committed to something in the first place. It’s a silly dynamic but true. We committed to a relationship because we really like the other person. We dedicated ourselves to a project because we saw the value in it. We devoted ourselves to sports radio because it’s fun. Someone who hasn’t forgotten why he became a sports radio host in the first place is Whitey Gleason of Sactown Sports.

Think about your biggest change in life. When did it occur and how big of a change was it? Was it relocating for school or work? Did it involve something more serious like death or divorce? We all experience major changes in life. How we respond to those changes reveals a lot about us as individuals. For 94WIP program director Rod Lakin, one of the biggest changes he’s ever experienced was moving from sunny Phoenix to the City of Brotherly Love.
