The List for Wednesday, April 16th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes are crashing “The Voice” as mega mentors! Sheryl’s teaming up with Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé’s crews, while LeAnn Rimes is riding shotgun with John Legend and Adam Levine’s artists. The playoff rounds kick off April 28th, and honestly—if those singers don’t cry at least once during mentoring, did they even get mentored?

Post Malone is doubling—nah, tripling—down on country! After “F-1 Trillion” blew up, he hit Nashville twice more and cranked out 35 new songs. He’s hangin’ with Ernest, Hardy, and Thomas Rhett like it’s a honky-tonk slumber party. And no, his next album is NOT called “F-1 Quadrillion”… but how ICONIC would that be? Posty hits the road with Jelly Roll April 29th, and yes—it’s the Big [Butt] Tour. We said what we said.

Word is Carrie Underwood’s being too sweet on “American Idol.” One insider says, “She’s just not bringing the drama.” Apparently, the other judges are over her “pity party” vibes—and yes, Miley Cyrus was Plan A. But hey, when you want fire and settle for fairy dust, you get nicey-nice Carrie. Great for church… not so great for ratings.

Lainey Wilson’s gettin’ hitched! Wedding plans are movin’ slow, but they’re movin’. When asked if she wants a huge, celeb-stacked bash or a quiet, cozy “I do”—she said, “It’s gonna be small.” Which is wild, considering her career’s anything but. A low-key queen planning a low-key wedding? We’re here for it.

You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK IS OLLIE!!

Ollie was found on someone’s property, and from the moment he arrived, he showed  what a truly loving and gentle boy he is. He has a soft, affectionate nature and absolutely adores being close to people. Sit down for even a moment, and Ollie will happily curl up in your lap, purring contentedly as he settles in for cuddles. He’s a sweet, calm companion who loves attention and finds comfort in simply being near his humans.

Ollie is about two years old and is  fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, so he’s all prepared for a fresh start with a family of his own. With his warm personality and desire for closeness, he would make a wonderful lap cat and a loyal friend.

Ollie is ready for a safe, loving home where he can finally relax and share his gentle heart—could he be the perfect match for you? Being our KIX Critter of week Ollie's adoption fee is only $25.00!! Call ARL 641-753-9046 for more information.
