In addition to the local news, WXPR Public Radio also likes to find stories that are outside the general news cycle... Listen below to stories about history, people, culture, art, and the environment in the Northwoods that go a little deeper than a traditional news story allows us to do. Here are all of the series we include in this podcast: Curious North, We Live Up Here, A Northwoods Moment in History, Field Notes, and Wildlife Matters.These features are also available as a podcast by searching "WXPR Local Features" wherever you get your podcasts.

Local Band Enjoys Unexpected Shot at Music Career

  A Rhinelander music group is using their background of failed musical attempts as fuel for a second shot at a music "career." WXPR’s Miranda Vander Leest has that story…

  

Members of Mr. Boyko include Bill Padgett, Tony Hjelle, Jason Lowry, Melissa Salaam, John Scheuer, Brett Petrick and Buck Kipper.

The band travels around the Northwoods playing at bars for fundraisers, holiday parties and other events. Mr. Boyko's next gig is March 17 at Group Therapy in Crandon. For more information visit their Facebook page.

Funds for this segment featuring Mr. Boyko are provided by the Northern Arts Council.
