Contributor Jon London sent in a bit of his own air work several years ago. Along with the aircheck, he wrote:

Hey! I just heard me on KD! Pretty cool….. I didn’t say much though. Here’s something from KS95 when I was over there for a couple of years. Feels good to contribute.

KSTP “KS95” has been on the air since 1965.  The station has simply evolved.  First, from a simulcast of the AM, to soft…

PLEASE STOP. boycott that shit. every freaking MONTH i’m listening to it, they have some half-racist, white privileged assed opinion on something and i’ve had so much more than enough. This morning they were bitching about the traffic on 35W, a major highway shut down to protest black deaths by police. They had white people calling in lodging their complaints to, because I know no black person in their right mind would be mad at traffic when simply the color of their skin has them getting shot by police. No, it wasn’t Black Lives Matter, my state’s chapter put out a statement. While they stand in solidarity with this morning’s protest, it was not initiated by them. It was peaceful. These 26 people knew what they were doing. They got out of their cars, they lined up, linked arms, and sat down. Traffic came to standstill. They were cuffed and taken away. No violence occurred. And I fucking supported it. I almost cried listening to ks95 in the car this morning. Their white privileged words, shaming these peaceful protestors, focusing their hate on the traffic. Where is their hate for innocent people being killed? I wonder how they’d feel if it was their husbands, their brothers, their friends being shot at by the police. I wonder how they’d feel if they could put themselves in the shoes of a black person for just ONE MINUTE. I bet they wouldn’t even know what to say, if they could only truly understand. What’s extra traffic when people are being killed by the ones who have been hired to protect us? What’s a fit of anger over traffic when there’s a woman and a child left fatherless and husbandless this week? 

On December 6, 2012, during Ryan & Shannon's KS95 for Kids Radiothon, KS95 debuted a song by Zach Sobiech, a teen with cancer, called "Clouds." Zach and the song became a worldwide sensation, touching the hearts of millions. One year later 5,000 fans gathered at Mall Of America for KS95′s Ryan & Shannon's Largest Clouds Choir to remember Zach, who passed away in May of 2013.
