KOLD Radio, Whitefish Bay

Synopsis: The setting is Whitefish Bay, Minnesota, up near the Canadian border. Lars Knudsen is the host of a radio show called, "Crappie Talk," devoted entirely to ice fishing for Crappies. Lars has no listeners, so he loses his only advertiser, Ole's Bait Mart and Deer Petting Farm. Martha Bjorklund, Lars' love interest, hosts "Book Beat." She has all the listeners, and all the advertisers. Lars has issues with this. The issues multiply when a Brooklyn Italian comes to Whitefish Bay, buys the radio station, promotes Martha and fires Lars. Lars has his work cut out for himself. He needs to get his job back, he needs his dignity, but most important, he needs Martha. Winner of the Gilmore Creek Playwriting Competition! "Olson has actually come up with a two act pilot for a TV series. In high conseptese, it's Cheers, meets WKRP in Cincinnati, meets Newhart…and throw in Fargo, too…" LA Times "Combine superb comic writing with solid direction and a smart cast with great timing, and you're headed for a comedy hit." LA WEEKLY Pick of the Week "Hilarious!…Side-splitting pace!…A real audience pleaser!...This comedy is totally silly, entertaining and refreshingly unique!" The Tolucan Times "A heart-warming tale in cold Minnesota where you'll find love, laughter and a wonderful time!" Irish News "Set in the American Heartland of Whitefish Bay, it is the plain spoken Minnesotan story of Lars Knudsen's need to find love." American Eagle News "This one really reels in the laughs!" Arthur Cantor - Tony Award Winning Producer
