Don Shelby will announce his finalized plans for retirement from WCCO tomorrow. Let the remembering begin!
Unfortunately, I can’t find any video of Shelby doing David Letterman’s Top 10 in the mid ’90s, in which he uttered the classic line, “there is a gopher in my pants.”
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
