01-05-2026 One of the most trusted public-health voices in the country. Dr. Michael Osterholm joins Freddie and Chantel us to talk flu season, COVID, and what’s really happening right now in the Twin Cities.

Dr. Michael Osterholm — internationally recognized epidemiologist, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, and someone we trust to give it to us straight.

Dr. Osterholm keeps an eye on what’s happening locally, nationally, and globally — and this morning we’ll talk about flu activity in the Twin Cities metro, where COVID stands right now, and what people can do to protect themselves and their families without panic.

What is KMOJCast?

Select programming from KMOJ's airwaves and community voices. Since first going “on the air” in 1976, KMOJ-89.9-FM continues its legacy as the community-oriented station located in Minneapolis, Minnesota airing a predominantly urban adult contemporary format.

“KMOJ’s Community Viewpoint” is one way the station achieves its mission of engaging, supporting and empowering Communities of Color to elevate the way of life of the people of its community and to challenge social and economic disparities, and the persistent consequences of historic racism.
The station call letters, “KMOJ” were inspired by the Swahili word “UMOJA” which means “Unity.” http://kmojfm.com/
