It’s National Ag Week and Iowa’s Best Country, KIX 101.1 salutes Iowa’s producers, Ag leaders, corporations and everyone who has a hand in feeding America.
Todd Collins, former host of the Morning Kix Start, more widely known for his startup of Farmer Wave Week every harvest season stopped by to talk about Ag Week on the Morning Kix Start. What better time to highlight the importance of the farmer wave and agriculture in Iowa!
All week long, KIX 101.1 has been aiming to increase knowledge and inform everyone about the important role Agriculture plays in Iowa.
Welcome to The List,
It’s been 40 years since Live Aid rocked the world—literally. Back on July 13, 1985, Wembley and JFK Stadiums tag-teamed a global concert watched by nearly 2 billion people. And now? CNN’s dropping a 4-part doc, and the UK is throwing it a full-blown birthday party. That’s right—Live Aid’s old enough to complain about back pain now!

Ozzy Osbourne has officially hung up the bat wings. His last-ever concert—"Back to the Beginning"—went down July 5th in Birmingham with Black Sabbath and a parade of metal legends. It was epic, emotional, and charitable! When he sang “Mama I’m Coming Home,” even the devils in the mosh pit teared up.

Jelly Roll clapped back HARD at people calling his wife a gold digger. He said, "She was a high-end escort when I met her—I was the broke one living in a van!" And honestly? The man married up! So maybe stop judging and start taking notes, huh?

Parker McCollum was asked the most country thing he’s ever done… and buckle up: He said, “Rode a horse bareback. Naked. In Crocs.” I—what?! That is peak country chaos right there. And no, there are no plans for a repeat performance. His words, not mine.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
When I heard that Alex Miller was opening for Rodney Atkins at the Marion County Fair. I knew I had to try and arrange a visit with him in the KIX studio. Thanks to his promoter JR Hughes and Alex's management for making it happen!!
