Cabin Country

Bjorn & Fud's favorite time of the year, the cooling temps, the falling leaves, and the telling of spooky tales set against the backdrop of Cabin Country!

A fireside chat with Bjorn and Fud on the season's last Gull River cabin trip as they procrastinate their annual Halloween spook fest just a little longer.

Bjorn and Fud pull out the old box of Schmidt Scenic beer cans from the closet and gab about farming ancestors and unlikely places to find good fishing grubs. The Logbook of "Terrible" Tim Torgerson continues and the summer is brought to a close with shared memories of the Minnesota State Fair.

Bjorn shares a recurring time travel dream of visiting his parents cabin and we meet outdoor officer Torgerson's cousin Tim, another outdoor agent under the glow of St. Paul's #1 in a new segment called "The Notebook of Tim 'Terrible T' Torgerson."

Legendary St. Paul guitarist Joel Shapira sits down with Bjorn & Fud to talk music, guitars and favorite fishing lures over an incomparable cup of coffee at JS Bean Factory in Highland Park.
