So Much More celebrates 100 episodes! Dave Ryan, the voice that’s been waking up the Twin Cities for decades on KDWB is here to help us party. In this special two-part milestone episode of So Much More, Dave brings his signature humor, heart, and behind-the-scenes brilliance to the mic for a conversation that’s as entertaining as it is insightful.
From the moment he steps in, Dave dives into the art of creativity—what sparks a great idea, how to tell when something’s just not working, and why it’s okay (and often hilarious) to fail out loud. He shares stories of his wildest moments at Mall of America, including run-ins with celebrities, a few questionable publicity stunts, and the kind of memories only years in radio can produce.
This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation you won’t want to miss. Come for the chaos, stay for the heart—and get ready for even more in next week’s finale.
