There’s a surprising amount of anti-masturbation content on social media, much of it suggesting that masturbation is bad for your health. In today's show, we're going to delve into whether abstaining from masturbation actually boosts testosterone, whether you can really become “addicted” to masturbating, what science says about the purported health benefits of semen retention, and more. In this episode, we're revisiting a conversation with Dr. Eric Sprankle, which originally aired back in episode 275. Dr. Sprankle is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology and the co-director of the Sexuality Studies program at Minnesota State University, Mankato. He’s also a licensed clinical psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist, as well as author of the book, DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation. Some of the specific topics we explore include: Why is the concept of semen retention increasingly popular? Are there any health benefits to abstaining from ejaculation? Is an orgasm obtained from self-pleasure really any different from an orgasm obtained through partnered sex? Can women become “addicted” to their vibrators? Is there an objective standard for what constitutes “too much” masturbation? You can check out Eric’s website to learn more about his work. Got a sex question?

At first glance, the latest installment of the cover song series is no different than any previous episode. Behind the scenes, though, serendipity is at play here. Like usual, I had quitely filled my “covers” folder over the last few months. A few weeks ago, I had accumulated enough tracks to schedule the show. I could have done it at the end of April, or last week. Next week even. Or I could have held it over until June. But no, I was determed in do on May 23. Then on my usual record store run last Friday I found a number of great Minneapolis garage rock records from the 50s and 60s. Most were compilatons, but I also found a Sundazed Music reissue of The Gestures’ self-titled album from 1966. Hailing from Mankato, MN, they had a hit in 1964 with “Run, Run, Run”, their debut single. I picked up this reissue, and loved it! Fast forward to yesterday as I was looking at the various new releases for the week. I was excited to see that Beebe Gallini had a new record out called Begged, Borrowed and Stealed!

The state of Minnesota experienced temperatures north of 90 degrees this past week, so that must mean it is the dead days of August and training camp begins, right? Well, not exactly. It is May and has been unseasonably warm and the Vikings have assembled—but it's just the rookies and their minicamp at TCO Performance Center. Still, the new football year has begun. We haven't had too many headlines yet as the Rookie Minicamp is just a way for the newbies to come to town, meet their prospective teammates and Vikings staff and get oriented to the way Minnesota does things. There are a few tidbits that have surfaced—such as undrafted rookie CB Zemaiah Vaughn picking off undrafted QB Max Brosmer along the sidelines and rookie linebacker Kobe King making another pick. But we aren't yet hanging any banners nor making any proclamations about who will be Mr. Eagan (nee Mankato). Still, we will talk about it. The fellas at Vikings Territory Breakdown podcast—Joe Oberle, senior writer at vikingsterritory.com and purplePTSD.com and Mark Craig, NFL and Vikings writer for the Star Tribune and startribune.com—are here to report from minicamp with stories of who stepped up, who stood out or who said something interesting (or, perhaps, out of the ordinary). Plus, we'll cover all the latest news of the Purple. Tune into the podcast and catch it all. Skol!

Imagine being seventy-five years old. You've settled into life. You know the rhythms of the land. Your family is rooted. You've built a name in your father's house and a future in your own. And then, one day, the God you've never known speaks to you with a command: “Go.” No map. No guarantee. Just a promise: “I will bless...” This is not just the beginning of Abraham's journey, it is another turning point of human history. The dividing line between Babel's curse and a world blessed through one man. And as he walks away from everything familiar, Abram steps into something far more dangerous—and far more divine.  The Rev. Prof. Adolph Harstad, professor at Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mankato, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 11 and 12.  Genesis isn't just the start of the Bible; it's the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal. In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you've read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Step into the fast-paced world of agricultural auctions with this engaging conversation between host Jim Sabby and special guest Cliff Sanders, a veteran livestock auctioneer who recently joined the Pifer's team. Their friendship spans decades, beginning at auctioneer school in Mankato, Minnesota, where both men stood out wearing cowboy hats among their classmates.The auction market remains remarkably strong despite economic uncertainties. A recent Fent tractor sold for $395,000, highlighting how premium equipment still commands top dollar. The podcast showcases several upcoming sales, including the Sheely auction in Drake featuring pristine 2017-2019 John Deere equipment that was professionally maintained and stored indoors. Another upcoming sale in Mandan features a 2012 Bobcat with just 35 hours – virtually new despite its age.Sanders brings a distinctive livestock auctioneer's cadence to machinery sales, maintaining the faster pace that livestock auctioneers are known for. His territory covers eastern North Dakota, including the Devil's Lake region where he previously worked at the auction barn. Throughout the conversation, both auctioneers emphasize that live auctions with online bidding consistently outperform online-only formats, drawing buyers from across North America.The social dimension of auctions emerges as a central theme. As Albert Roerick from Pifer's Steel location explains, "Building relationships is the main thing with all the sellers, buyers." These relationships extend beyond individual sales, with auctioneers often connecting buyers with specific equipment they're seeking. In rural communities, auctions serve as gathering places where neighbors reconnect, highlighting their importance beyond just commerce.Join us to discover why quality farm equipment continues to bring strong prices, how the hybrid auction model maximizes returns, and why the personal connections forged at rural auctions remain irreplaceable in our increasingly digital world.

There's a warming trend in cities across American, and that's extending allergy season for millions of Americans. A new study by Climate Central found five cities in Minnesota have increased their pollen season — in some cases by nearly a month. The Twin Cities allergy season has expanded by 27 days, Duluth is seeing an average of 24 extra days of allergy season, while Mankato is experiencing 11 and Rochester is averaging 10 extra days, said Kristoffer Tigue, a reporter for the Minnesota Star Tribune. “It's not just the extended pollen season that the studies have have shown are are making allergies worse for people,” said Tigue. “The plants themselves are growing larger, and that's because there's more carbon dioxide in the air. There's even research that suggests that the pollen itself is becoming more allergenic.”To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Musical premiere in Bemidji tackles small-town healingKevin Cease of Bemidji is a funeral director and fan of community theater. He's looking forward to the world premiere of “Water from Snow,” a new musical by Janet Preus, co-written with Robert Elhai and Fred Steele. The show runs through Sunday, April 13. Tickets here.NOTE: The “Water from Snow” premiere has been postponed until April 11.Kevin said: I'm looking forward to the world premiere of local playwright Janet Preus's show “Water from Snow.” It is an original musical play co-written by her and Robert Elhai and Fred Steele of the Steele family. As it is set in a small town on a lake in northern Minnesota, Bemidji seems perfect for its premiere!Important and universal themes drive this story: healing wounds caused by abuse; overcoming racism against Indigenous people; bridging generational differences; valuing elderly community members; and championing women supporting each other. They hope to generate meaningful conversations among audience members, performers and the creative team.The roughhewn nature of the Rail River School venue in Bemidji lends additional character and dimension to the play. The music is diverse from a mix of music from country and blues, to pop, ballads and R&B, even a song from old farts at the setting of the café — there are 22 original songs! The lively local cast has chosen their roles carefully, with a range of characters drawn from the writer's lifetime in rural Minnesota.— Kevin CeaseMacMillan's transformative choral workStephen Kingsbury is a choral director and educator who wrote his doctoral dissertation on Scottish composer Sir James MacMillan. He recommends two upcoming events celebrating MacMillan's music.MacMillan will conduct seven Twin Cities choirs in a free performance called “Voices for a Cathedral” at the Cathedral of St. Paul, Friday, April 4 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. VocalEssence will also perform an all-MacMillan program Sunday, April 6 at 4 p.m. at the Ordway in St. Paul, with both MacMillan and Philip Brunelle conducting. The program features “Seven Last Words from the Cross” and “The Sun Danced,” with soprano Goitsemang Lehobye joining the U of M University Singers and orchestra.Kingsbury describes his first encounter with MacMillan's work over 25 years ago:Stephen says: One day, in deep frustration, I was going through my collection of recordings looking for inspiration. I found a disc that I had no recollection of purchasing. It was of MacMillan's “Seven Last Words from the Cross.” I popped in the player and spent the next hour laying on the floor of my apartment, wrapped in the music, staring up at the ceiling, silently weeping. I had never encountered anything like it. In that hour, I was transformed by a new awareness of what the choral art could be: how it touch the soul in deep and transformative ways. I knew then that MacMillan had to be the topic of my study. Since then, MacMillan's music has served as one of the centers of my artistic and scholarly life. I've since written a number of additional articles about his music and had the pleasure of being able to conduct many of MacMillan's compositions. His music strikes a balance between passion and craft; it is both deeply emotional and thoughtful.— Stephen KingsburyZappa's legacy lives on in Mankato tributePaula Marti of New Ulm is a classically trained oboist and manager of Morgan Creek Vineyards & Winery, where she curates summer concerts. She also has a lifelong love of Frank Zappa's music, and she recommends a tribute concert this weekend.Joe Tougas and his ensemble Joe's Garage return to perform “Joe's Garage, Act Two,” a Frank Zappa tribute concert. The event is Saturday, April 6 at 7 p.m. at the Morson-Ario-Strand VFW in Mankato.Paul says: What's unique about this particular group is because there's so many professional musicians in it, they really have been able to achieve the sound that Frank Zappa attempts to create in his works. He has this diverse sensibility about sound and rhythm. It's integrated in a marvelous way that has this orchestral effect. It's just amazing as a classical musician myself, enjoying what comes out of these interesting themes that Zappa puts together, which are unique, they're cultural expressions of our time and our era. And he does that in a way that's very, very respectful to the instrumentation that has to go on that represents, you know, the harmonies, the diversities and the the challenges of the message of the music.— Paul Marti

The detainment of two students at universities in Minnesota is sparking fear and confusion about immigration enforcement against international students. Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested a Turkish MBA student at the University of Minnesota. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says Doğukan Günaydin had his student visa revoked due to a 2023 DWI. An international student at Minnesota State University, Mankato was also detained last week but there have been little details about the circumstances. For more context on these international student detainments, MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Ana Pottratz Acosta, a professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law specializing in immigration law.

Rev. Ben Wiechmann, Peace Lutheran Church, N. Mankato was preacher for this service. John 6:32-35: Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.” And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Had a new "Karen of the Day"…and it's someone you may know or may have heard of before. Do you have any "life hacks" that you swear by? A lot of people do…and we talked about some of the top hacks out there. A former Michigan coordinator is officially a creep, and in today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who almost got electrocuted to death while trying to steal copper wire, a #FloridaMan named Vincent Vega(yes, like in "Pulp Fiction") who's in some serious trouble, a new scam that's targeting people with lost pets, a Spring break brawl that ended with a Mike Tyson special, and a janitor in Texas was pissing in people's water bottles.

HUMP DAY! And some snow/rain in the area. In the news this morning, a tragedy at a Kwik Trip in Mankato yesterday as an employee was stabbed to death, a MN Senator was arrested for soliciting a minor for prostitution, the stranded astronauts finally touched down on Earth, an update on the man allegedly held captive by his stepmother in Connecticut, and it looks like Dollar General is going to be closing some stores in the near future. In sports, we recapped yesterday's March Madness First Four games and looked ahead to tonight's matchups. Plus, the Bucks lost on the road to the Warriors, Alexander Ovechkin went without a goal in the Capitals' win last night, and Tracy Morgan puked all over the floor at Madison Square Garden the other night due to food poisoning. Elsewhere in sports, a woman has now been charged in the death of a TV reporter who was covering the Super Bowl in New Orleans, and the Paul Skenes rookie debut patch card is going to sell for an insane amount of money. We let you know what's on TV/streaming today and talked about the upcoming Mickey Mouse horror movie, "Screamboat". A doggy daycare bus driver in Wisconsin went viral recently with a video of the passengers on her bus getting ready to celebrate St. Paddy's Day, and a three year-old boy is being hailed as a hero after helping to save his great grandmother after she fell. Today is "National Backyard Day", so we discussed a list of some of the most popular backyard games. A woman just discovered her boyfriend's laundry hack and it makes almost no sense. Plus, a rundown of some of the new food & drink offerings at Miller Park this year as the Brewers home opener is in 11 days! And with March Madness officially beginning this week, a couple of VERY rich people(Elon Musk & Warren Buffet) are looking to give away some cash & prizes for perfect & nearly perfect brackets. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a parking spot in Boston that costs more than my house, a man who punched a United Airlines gate agent in the face because he was mad about his seating assignment, a soccer player who is not dead yet, a guy who tried to pull a "George Costanza", and a daycare in Georgia that was drugging the kids to get them to sleep.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Strange Paradises Visual artist Brian Frink of Mankato is looking forward to an exhibit newly opened at the Carnegie Art Center featuring the sculptures of Todd Shanafelt, Pocket Toscani and Jim Shrosbree. “Strange Paradises” is on view through March 22, with an opening artist reception Friday from 5-7 p.m. Brian says: Todd Shanafelt and Pocket Toscani are both Mankato residents, and Jim Shrosbree is from out-of-state. Jim and Todd are ceramic artists, and Pocket is more of a traditional sculptor, but what their work shares together is a kind of playful quirkiness. They are very abstract in their approach. But I would also say they're kind of obliquely recognizable in terms of the content in the work. There;s also an interesting intersection of functionality and non-functional in all three of them.  They are also very involved in painting and drawing. So, the exhibition will include their three-dimensional work as well as their two-dimensional work, which I think adds another texture and level of interest to what they're presenting.A show about making the most of the days we haveTheater lover Brad Pappas of St. Louis Park is looking forward to seeing the indie rock musical “Hundred Days.” It runs through March 22 at Theatre Elision, a black box theater in Crystal. The show is 80 minutes with no intermission. Brad describes the show: Abigail and Shaun decide to get married three weeks after they meet. Abigail is plagued by these dreams, and she's convinced that the man she loves is going to die within in a little over three months. Abigail and Shaun concoct a plan. They're going to live their whole lives in 100 days. They'll have Halloween in the morning, Christmas in the afternoon, birthdays at sundown. This performance sounds so intriguing to me because it's eight musicians. They're all a part of the show, but they're all playing instruments throughout the performance.Opera shrouded in mysteryBurlesque dancer Renata Nijiya of Minneapolis is intrigued by An Opera Theatre's “Opera Underground.” There are four performances whose exact Twin Cities location and details will be revealed to ticket holders 24 hours before showtime. Performances are March 12 and March 13 in northeast Minneapolis at 7 p.m., March 16 in the Longfellow neighborhood at 5 p.m. and March 25, 7 p.m. in the West Seventh area of St. Paul, with ASL interpretation. Shows run 90 minutes. Renata loves the ways AOT makes opera accessible, through the work it chooses, its pay-as-you-can performances and ASL interpretation. She also offers this tip: “After each show, it's going to roll into an after-party and have a local band performing … each location has a different local band,” she said.

Rev. Andrew Soule, Mt. Olive Lutheran, Mankato was preacher for this service. John 16:12-16: “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. “A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”

A Delta Air Lines jet from Minneapolis flipped on its roof while landing Monday at Toronto's Pearson Airport. All 80 people on board survived and those hurt had relatively minor injuries, according to airport officials. Snow was being blown by winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour at the time of the crash. Today's dangerously cold temperatures prompted many school districts across Minnesota to cancel or delay the start of classes, or move to online learning. Minneapolis and St. Paul public schools canceled classes Tuesday. Other districts closed Tuesday include Brainerd, Mankato, Rochester, St. Cloud and Winona.Around 100 people gathered for a vigil Monday night at the Minnesota Capitol for a transgender Minnesota man who was found dead in New York.

Crime & Punishment, Episode #2 of 4. In 1862, as the Civil War raged across the fields of the south, another American war was coming to an end: the Dakota War, a conflict between the Dakota people and American settlers in Minnesota. Though the United States military won a decisive and punishing victory over the Dakota, they weren't satisfied: Colonel Henry Hastings Sibley wanted the Dakota warriors left alive at the end of the war put on trial in a military tribunal. The trials were a farce of justice, with sometimes over 40 Dakota men convicted every day between September and November, 1862. At the conclusion of the trials, 392 Dakota men were found guilty and sentenced to death. President Abraham Lincoln reviewed each of the convictions and ultimately commuted the sentences of 264 of the men - and upheld the death sentences of 38. This is the history of the largest mass hanging in United States history, the execution of the Dakota warriors in Mankato, Minnesota, in 1862.
