Park Falls radio, fully in motion.
98Q Interviews sounds like a local station left running through the morning. It moves from Brewer tickets and school referendums to home-building advice, high school musicals, and WIAA basketball without smoothing out the handoffs.

98Q Interviews is a broad catchall for 98Q Country's local broadcasts, interviews, and game coverage from the Park Falls orbit. It does not behave like a single-format podcast. That is part of the point. The feed can jump from Reality Radio banter to a sponsor read, from a text-to-win keyword to a community interview, then land on a WIAA basketball pregame with records, tempo, and matchup notes already in motion. The show keeps the seams audible. Names get checked, cards go missing, weather gets debated, and a planned trivia game can stall because the materials are somewhere in the building. Those loose moments sit beside practical local talk. A Butternut school referendum passing by one vote becomes a reminder that voting can matter in a small district. Brewer tickets, Katkins Animal Rescue, and local business promotions appear as part of the same ecosystem rather than separate programming blocks. Sports remain one of the feed's clearest through lines. The basketball episodes treat high school games with full seriousness, laying out Prentice and Turtle Lake records, pace, prior tournament wins, size differences, and expected attacks at the rim. The Wisconsin sports segments widen the frame, especially when Mike Clemens brings detail to the Brewers clubhouse, media access, ownership availability, and injury news. Community interviews give the feed another pace. Jason Wanke talks through home-building timelines, permitting, engineering, interest rates, and why planning early matters. Mark Donner explains the pressure around Once Upon a Mattress rehearsals and why the cast fit the show. The sound is neighborly and functional. It is built for people who recognize that local radio is part scoreboard, part bulletin board, part coffee-counter conversation, and part public record. Its best moments come when ordinary details become the story: a lost phone, a one-vote referendum, a spring weather complaint, a high school musical with rehearsal time cut short, or a sectional final framed like it matters because locally it does.
Made for: Built for listeners who want Wisconsin community radio with sports, school events, local businesses, and morning-show side roads intact. It especially suits people who follow Northwoods high school athletics and nearby civic life.
What sets it apart: Unlike a narrowly packaged sports or interview show, 98Q Interviews preserves the live-radio mix: sponsor copy, practical community talk, Wisconsin sports reporting, and game calls all sharing the same feed.
