Midtown Coffee Radio Hour brings hygge to listeners

In the Moment features host Lori Walsh talking with South Dakota newsmakers of the day.

Members of Midtown Coffee Radio Hour gathered in the SDPB studios to talk about how a time of separation inspired a homegrown radio show.

The show takes place in a fictional coffee house in midtown Sioux Falls and features music, skits and stories.

SDPB’s Lori Walsh talked with Tina Jackson, Nick Jackson, Maren Engel and Wade Gemar about pandemic isolation, making radio with your friends, and how a Scandinavian philosophy inspires their performances.

Midtown Coffee Radio Hour performs at the Orpheum Theater in Sioux Falls on Friday, Jan. 23 at 7:30 p.m.

Lori Walsh is a special correspondent with SDPB and host of the "In the Moment" podcast.
