The Brian
Oake Show.
A Minneapolis show about music, popular culture, interesting characters, irreverence and laughter…and sometimes Brian cries.
The Show
The Brian Oake Show is independent and listener-supported — built around music, popular culture, interesting characters, irreverence and laughter. An award-winning podcast, named a Silver Medal Winner among MSP Magazine's Top Minnesota Podcasts.
Each episode features long-form conversations with musicians, comedians, storytellers, and cultural figures from the Twin Cities and beyond. The show's warm, curious, and irreverent style brings out sides of guests that audiences rarely get to see.
The People Behind It
The show is powered by two Twin Cities lifers: Brian Oake, the host and voice — a Minneapolis radio icon with decades on the airwaves — and Sean Barnard, co-host and manager who keeps the operation running on and off the mic. Together they've built an independent, listener-supported show that has become essential listening for Minnesota music and culture fans.
