Hellllllo Listen Local Fam and welcome back!
On this episode of the Listen Local Podcast, Isaiah is manning the 'hosting ship' all by himself as Colton and Jacob are both out of town on work trips.

Saying that... he did have a couple of familiar faces join the guest segment. Nisswa Chamber President Kalie Jay and Steve from Camp Nisswa stopped by the studio to talk all things Nisswa Winter Jubilee, which is already THIS WEEKEND! From this year's theme to live music to activities and contests they dive into it all to help you plan your Jubilee accordingly. After that, they even stick around to help Isaiah out with the Local Happenings segment.

Big thanks to Kalie and Steve for joining the show!

And of course a HUGE thanks to our 2026 sponsors Pequot Lakes and Gull Lake Sanitation, Hanneken Insurance, Craguns Legacy Courses, Party Time Rental, Bens Marine and Motorsports and our PRESENTING SPONSOR Lakes Area CPAs!

Jammers… this episode may be the most fun one we've had yet!

The Lakes Jam Podcast - with hosts Ken, Isaiah and Jacob - sat down with Caroline Huff from Huff Entertainment Solutions to talk all things backstage management - artists, crews, shows, chaos, magic, repeat. If you've ever wondered what it's like behind the curtain, Caroline delivers.

But THEN - mid-show - we get a call from none other than Neal McCoy, our 2026 Lakes Jam Thursday night headliner. Neal gives us one of the most entertaining interviews we've had yet, sharing stories about coming up in country music, career milestones, and how he's still out there rocking crowds and having a blast.

A huge shoutout to Neal and Caroline for hanging with us!
