You can listen to each new winner at 8:30a on the Morning Kix Start.
Our latest winner is Teresa Rasmussen – Behavioral Teacher @ Edwards Elementary School, she was nominated by Bethany Hays
Teresa went above & beyond for my son, he has gone through so much trauma & she stood by him & myself every step of the way being so understanding & caring, helping me help him work though all the chaos that he went through & to control his emotions & also standing by him & being understanding when his father passed of overdose. She is so caring & gives everything she has to help all of her students & just all children & I feel like this would be the best way to show all of the appreciation & love I have for her & appreciation for everything that she does as the most AMAZING teacher I have ever met.
Take a listen to our surprise interview with Teresa

Welcome to The List,
Roseanne Barr says they asked her to come back to The Conners... as a ghost. She told Female First, “You killed me off, stole my show, and NOW you want me back ‘cause your ratings are in the toilet?” Her official response? “I’ll be busy… bowling.” Translation: hard pass, Casper.

Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany just lived out every Southern girl’s nightmare. She posted a video of a snake just chillin’ at their front door like it was there to sell cookies. You hear her go, “This is what nightmares are made of!” No ma’am. That’s what FLAMETHROWERS are made for.

If you're a Stranger Things junkie and haven’t emotionally recovered from Season 4 yet, good news! A new animated spinoff called Tales from '85 is coming next year. It fills in the winter gap between Seasons 2 and 3. Same Hawkins weirdness—just now with cartoons and probably fewer nosebleeds.

Wanna drink where the country stars pretend to be regular people? The top-rated bars are in! We got Old Dominion’s Odie’s, Luke Combs’ Category 10—which sounds like a hurricane and a hangover—and of course Blake Shelton’s Ole Red. Honky tonk? More like honky bougie.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa's BEST Country KIX 101.1
