Quick Queue’s unique, story-telling style provides seamless transition from music programming into the voices of Minnesota artists, historians, writers, poets and more both through direct broadcast and a lasting, digital archive – providing Minnesota arts and culture access across the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Support for this program comes from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
