On today's show...

It's been a bumpy year for the U.S. House of Representatives. We check in with South Dakota's Rep. Dusty Johnson about what he considers the highlights and challenges of 2023.

Then, a Christmas tradition continues. Solo pianist Lorie Line joins us ahead of her holiday tour through South Dakota to share her story and music.

We meet Black Beauty, her traveling concert grand piano, and get a preview of Line's performance wardrobe. She drew inspiration from an iconic doll recently featured in a blockbuster movie for one outfit.

Plus, we revisit an enchanting conversation Lori Walsh shared last year with a man in a red suit. The voices of Santa Claus and a few of his friends return. Read more.
