The Stay Warm Fundraiser - Sauna Time!

After having issue with the KAXE hot tub turning into a vat of "human soup...," KAXE Volunteer Jon Rossman (shown to the left after a job well done) and Doug MacRostie built a sauna in KAXE's Studio 1 with recycled parts (included all the pallets we had out back). All your phone calls have been keeping us warm ... pledge now! Our goal is $50,000! Help us with your pledge!

BREAKING NEWS: Dan caused Heidi's Folliculitis

The irritated red spots all over Heidi are believed to stem from tainted hot tub water due to KAXE Engineer Dan Houg's use of the tub to boil sausages left over from the Green Cheese Picnic. Dan claims to "not recall" this. Click here to have Dan boil your sausage in the hot tub...

Scratch scratch, itch itch - what Heidi learned in the Hot Tub

After many hours spent broadcasting live in a hot tub over the last week, KAXE Host and Producer Heidi Holtan was diagnosed with itchy red spots. Being the die-hard KAXE supporter that she is, Heidi pushed the limits of Hot Tub exposure (especially when the hot tub was actually a pig-feed vat from Darry Broad's northwoods ranch...) - all this to support KAXE.

RealGood Hot Tub

KAXE has received many phone calls and emails with people expressing their disappointment in Heidi Holtan's appearance in the hot tub picture with John Bauer. People felt that her voice didn't match the picture, which has caused quite a fuss at KAXE. So we turned the web cam around to get a better look at Heidi. As you can see, her do-rag should not be confused for a swimming cap which many people thought she had on. To see more hot tub pictures of Heidi Holtan ... click here.

Rev Dave refuses to 'Stay Warm'

Volunteer host Rev Dave threw a curve ball to KAXE's "Stay Warm" fundraiser on the first day, stating that he "hates it when people say 'stay warm'." His mood went from "active disdain" to "aggressively sarcastic," when he offered to pour gasoline on co-host Doug MacRostie and set it on fire to help KAXE during the fundraiser. Check out pictures of the gasoline incidient here!
