I've been hosting the Afternoon Show on Y105 for more than seven years! I have a beautiful wife, Claudia, and adorable daughter, Lydia. I've lived in Dubuque for over a decade and I absolutely love this city! I host Hawkeye games at Lot One on Saturdays in the fall, 'The Dating Game' at Skinny Maginny's one Tuesday a month and can be found pushing a stroller on walks along South Grandview from time-to-time. I'm a passionate Minnesota Vikings fan (and Twins, Wild and Wolves), but truly appreciate having a fun conversation with the adversary (Bears, Packers fans).

Trip to Michigan; The Drive/Ferry to Alpena
A week ago today, I set out on a 5-day trip to Northern Michigan with three friends (David, Lynn and Joe) and a dog (Indie who I kept incorrectly calling Sadie) in a 22-foot RV. Our first destination as we left Dubuque around 6:45 p.m. was Manitowoc, WI to board an overnight ferry and cross Lake Michigan...
How Russ Ended Up in the Dumpster
Russ Bickle is the Traffic Manager at Townsquare Media; he's in charge of making sure all commercials get scheduled properly based on variables like what station, what days and between which times. It sounds like a detail-oriented job.
That's why I was surprised when one of our listeners contacted me and informed me that she'd been out at the station to pick up Rock Fest concert wristbands she won
This Month’s ‘Chop Talk’ with Ken Haugen
'Chop Talk' highlights a menu item at Houlihan's Dubuque. This month, it's SO CAL FISH TACOS! These are one of my two favorite items on the menu (stuffed chicken breast is the other) and feature chipotle mayo, panko-breaded tilapia, napa cabbage, honey cumin dressing, chips & house salsa.

A Blast from the Past
I make it well-known that I'm a Minnesota sports fan: Vikings, Twins, Wild and Wolves. That's why I was more excited than most would be here in the Tri-States when my buddy, Scott, brought six posters out to the radio station yesterday.
While the Twins are nowhere near the World Series drought the Cubs are currently in, the Minnesota sports market as a whole has not had a championship of any kind

Join the Dubuque Walk to Cure Diabetes Tomorrow
This morning on the Y105 Wake Up (I was filling in for Chris Farber), Tom Rauen stopped by to chat about tomorrow's (Saturday) JDRF Dubuque Walk to Cure Diabetes event. If you're available tomorrow morning and would like to enjoy a DRY morning walk near the river, I encourage you to sign up and help support the fight against type 1, or juvenile, diabetes...
Don’t Get Fooled!
I've noticed several of my Facebook friends have posted a picture of the date displayed inside the DeLorean time machine in 'Back to the Future II' as June 10, 2015. That's NOT CORRECT!
In fact, there's a tumblr page you can view HERE that is dedicated to making every date look like the date to which Marty travels in the future...
Tonight’s ‘Jeff Robb Show’
I invite you to join me and my co-host, Jon, at TPC Sports Bar inside Mystique Casino from 4-6 p.m. and enjoy great food and drink plus jump in the sports conversation if you'd like!
We're starting one hour early due to the Cubs game starting at 6:05 p...
A Day in Madison
Sometimes a day trip doesn't need to be anything more than your family spending a day together, running errands and, of course, eating a good meal. My wife, daughter and I went to Madison, WI for the day on Saturday so my wife could buy scrubs for a new job she started yesterday (Monday)...
This Week’s ‘The Jeff Robb Show’
I was 6 years old when the FIFA investigation began. On Wednesday, the United States Department of Justice indicted 14 officials associated with FIFA, soccer's mafia-like governing body.
What does this mean? We're talking SOCCER on the show for the first time ever...
