Every week the Wisconsin State Journal runs “Roughneck Grace,” a weekly column written by Mike (many of the columns will be adapted from Mike’s Tent Show Radio monologues). This week’s column, titled “Neighbor’s gift of peace and plenty” can be seen online here.

If you’re within range of (or can stream) one of these stations tonight (Saturday, July 13th) we hope you’ll join Mike as he hosts another edition of Tent Show Radio from Big Top Chautauqua.

This week’s show features musical guest The New Standards and guest artist Yazmin. In between all the music, Mike attends a live music concert with his daughters. Information on streaming the show here.
