2026 Summer Read: Taking Back the Game

Shane Timson

At the time of this recording, it is July. It's hot - 100-degree temperatures, severe weather.  But this time of July, we now start thinking about August in the fall sports season. It won't be long, and kids will be at the football field practicing, and they'll be on the volleyball court. It's going to be in full session.

2026 Summer Read: Highway 83 – From North to South

Charles Roamer

My name is Charles Roamer, and I'm the author of 83 Odyssey---An Adventure Down the Spine of America on U.S. Highway 83. I'm an old road warrior who wrote a book for travel story enthusiasts, and those from the High Plains region where U.S. 83 courses through would, I think, be especially interested in my story.

2026 Summer Read: Two for Summer Reading

Mary Emeny

If you are looking for high adventure this book is not for you. But if you are craving a beautifully written, heartwarming alternative to the negativity, noise and drama filling the news Theo of Golden could be a good choice. An elderly gentleman, obviously well off, shows up in the small Carolina town of Golden. We soon find out that he is Portuguese, but learn very little else about him until the end of the book.

2026 Summer Read: On Betsy Ross and the Making of America by Marla R Miller

Jane Holwerda

Hey, Radio Readers. I’m Jane Holwerda in Dodge City Ks. Earlier this summer I promised my book shelves would be dusted by now. I made it only as far as the Americana section when I surrendered to my more natural state of sitting with cat on lap and book in hand. So be it. What better way to commemorate the 250th year of our nation than by reading about it?
