Talk Shop
Talk Shop with Brian Papstein is a Northcoast institution and the area’s only chance to hear directly from its newsmakers and shakers. Since the Spring of 1983, local officials and others in the community talk about local issues. Heard weekdays in the 8a hour, Talk Shop is your way to find out what’s going on.
