Reporter Sasha Aslanian tells the story of Mankato DJ Mo Alsadig, host of “The Quiet Storm.” He has a loyal following in Mankato — and among the prisoners at the Federal Correctional Facility in Waseca.

Video killed the radio star, but Salon Saloon is bringing it back.

This month’s Salon Saloon theme is, you guessed it, radio, and we’re pretty dang excited about the all-star lineup we snagged. Joining Andy on the stage this month are some of the finest representatives from Minnesota’s radio industry, including Ron “Boogiemonster” Gerber from KFAI’s Crap from the Past, metro reporter Sasha Aslanian of MPR, Joel Stitzel and Chuck Tomlinson from the popular Cosmic Slop podcast, and Daniel Henry from the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting.

Left-of-center music, personal narratives, inflammatory political talk, sound effects, organ chords, dedications to loved ones, and crime-fighting serial heroes have all found a home on the radio airwaves. They will all find a home on this month’s show, as well.

And, as always, you can expect some bangin tunes from the Salon Saloon House band and a ragtag sing-a-long with deejay Sturdevant himself. Popular one-hit-wonder puns abound!
