The Mid-Morning Magazine is a show hosted by Mike Buchanan every Monday through Friday morning from 8:30 - 9:00. Mike interviews guests from Ottumwa and Wapello County (like city and county officials, local celebrities, heads of local entities like the YMCA or the Red Cross, etc.) and also national and world famous artists, authors, and notable characters.
If you miss the morning show, we play a recorded encore version every afternoon at 5:30 for your listening enjoyment!
Below is a list representing shows that Mike has recorded. Each show will be archived here for about 10 days and will be available for you to hear during that time. Just click on the date of the show you want to hear and enjoy the show!
