On this week’s “Simply Superior” program, we take a look at the impact on our region from smoke coming from the wildfires across the continent. We pick up a discussion between WPR’s J. Carlisle Larson and Jeffrey Pierce, associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, and Jonathan Erdman, senior meteorologist at weather.com. Also, WPR reporter Danielle Kaeding and host Robin Washington review the current situation.
And for some weekend fun, WPR’s Al Ross chats with comedian Paula Poundstone, who will be appearing at Big Top Chautauqua in Bayfield on Saturday, Aug. 14. Robin then speaks with planners of the Great Twin Ports Get Together, a free event at Duluth’s Wade Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 15. The event features five bands, comedian Danny Friedman, bouncy houses and other fun.
