Here’s what
guests and listeners are saying about TALK OF THE TOWN
WITH TRACY LUNDEEN
“Talk
of the Town is an exciting program with an energetic,
intelligent host. Tracy Lundeen does an excellent job
in covering topics of interest to Northland listeners.
His background, his extensive involvement in the
community, and his grasp of the issues make the
conversations he has with his guests both interesting
and informative.”
Andy Lisak, Executive Director The Development
Association, Inc. Superior, WI"
Tracy
brings good humor, insight, and a love for our city to
the airwaves. Talk of the Town gives an insider's
perspective on the issues and activities in Duluth that
matter most."
Don Ness, Mayor, City of Duluth
"I have had
the opportunity to be a guest on Talk of the Town and
found it to be a very pleasurable experience. The time
format allows for a relaxed open discussion with the
host, Tracy Lundeen. Tracy has the ability to discuss a
wide range of subjects while always maintaining good
taste and a friendly decorum - even in controversy. I
enjoy listening to this show because of the open
perspectives given both by the host and the guest!"
Mike Lundstrom Executive Director-Hermantown Area
Chamber of Commerce
"Tracy's show
is a throwback to good down-home radio. From
politicians to the business community to local
non-profits, he gives everybody airtime. He
doesn't have a hidden agenda, he just gets a positive
message out every showand our community needs that."
Corey Carter former Program Director Mix 108 - KBMX-FM ESPN
Radio 560 - WEBC-AM"
Being
interviewed by Tracy was a painless experience. He has a
way of making guests comfortable and asks good questions
to keep the conversation going. Maybe that's the point.
It's a conversation with Tracy ... not an interview.
Tim Wigchers former Senior District Manager Junior Achievement
of the Upper Midwest
"Tracy has
the ability in an interview to set you at ease, as if
you were an old friend from the get-go. (And while that
may be the case in our circumstance, it is also one of
his strengths.) He asks good questions with good humor,
where appropriate, and you leave feeling you have
accomplished the task of getting your information out in
a positive fashion that others will listen to. It is a
good investment of time for both the guest and the
listening audience."
Gail H. Walkowiak Special Events Coordinator
City of Duluth - Parks & Recreation Division
I enjoyed
my time with Tracy on Talk of The Town. A very fun
experience to be sure. He can be very light hearted and
at the same time very provocative. Tracy knows what's
going on in our community and can pull the unrehearsed
comments from his guests very shrewdly. TOTT is a very
informative show for its listeners." Charlie Bell-Duluth Business and Civic Leader
I enjoyed
my visit on the show. Tracy created an environment
where one could freely express their opinions and
concerns. I look forward to my next visit.
Garry Krause-Duluth City Councilor
"Talk of
the Town" was great exposure for our museum-a little tug
on the ear that helps us remind folks about our local
attractions."
Bob Fuhrman-Executive Director Richard
I. Bong Veterans Historical Center
Tracy
Lundeen is one talk show host who's clearly done his
homework. He knows how to draw from his guests
relevant questions for his audience and get to the heart
of today's issues. I look forward to being a guest
again on Talk of the Town.
Dorothy Fleming Deputy
Chair Republican Party of Minnesota
“Mr.
Lundeen communicates a wealth of experience and
insight. You can count on him voicing things the way he
sees them. Positive and informative, I always look
forward to working with Tracy and his show.”
Terry MattsonPresident/CEO Visit Duluth
It was a
pleasure to be on Tracy Lundeen's "Talk of the Town"
show. While we may not politically agree on every
issue, tracy treats his guests with respect and
encourages them to express their opinions in a
meaningful way. In addition, Tracy is an optimistic and
enthusiastic cheerleader for our community. In a time
when negativity dominates every news cycle, and is the
tool most talk show hosts use to engage their audiences,
I find that incredibly refreshing. I hope Tracy asks me
to be a guest again."
Roger Reinert- District 7B State Legislature
I have
listened to Tracy on the radio for years. I have always
appreciated his common sense, respectful and
entertaining perspective on local and national issues. I
am usually a public radio person but I will change the
dial to listen to Tracy talk about issues facing the
city council that I will voting on. Tracy is a gentlemen
on and off the radio. He has the unique skill of being
able to take a position on a controversial issue while
respecting the opposite position on the other side of
the issue. This approach always advances the discussion
which makes Duluth a better place to live. That is why I
am one of Tracy's biggest fans.
Greg Gilbert, Duluth Attorney and City Councilor
My favorite
part about Talk of the Town is that those who call in
can't just complain about something unless they follow
it with a solution or idea to solve the issue. The
topics are not always from the same people about the
same old things. They are a lot of different people who
are working to bring better things to Duluth and keep
Duluth the great city it is. RaeAnn Hamlin, Duluth Small Business Owner and one of
the “20 under 40”
I
enjoyed the experience of being interviewed on Talk of
the Town. I was treated with respect from the time I
entered the building until the time I departed. You
personally showed great interest in my area of expertise
and interest; Woodland Hills and at-risk youth. You
asked good questions which allowed me to expound on my
agency. You did not throw any curve ball questions or
make negative comments. You were very positive and
displayed a good sense of humor. In the aftermath, I
heard from several people who listened to the show and
the feedback was very positive. Finally, I was offered
a good cup of coffee prior to the interview. Thanks for
having me on the show!
Richard Quigley CEO Woodland
Hills
“Tracy’s
program gets people in our community the opportunity to
expand on topics that are important to our future.”
“Talk of the Town is informative and offers an
opportunity to more fully discuss topics of interest in
our community.”
Elaine Hansen, Director
UMD Center for
Economic Development
Tracy is an upbeat, unabashed supporter of the Twin Ports. So much of
talk radio is nothing more than a bunch people rattling
on about trivial matters. It’s refreshing the way Tracy engages
people who are actually making a difference in the
community. And personally, I’m glad we have Tracy’s
voice to help reinforce the importance of arts and
entertainment in the community. Quality of place is a
key factor when people are deciding where to live and
work.
John Heino, President and CEO -Como Oil
