Thank you for listening across your work day to 104.5 KDAT. I know that you work very hard every day at the office and we strive to keep you entertained with a whole lot of great music and some fun too! I've lived here in Iowa most of my life, and my family and I enjoy the great outdoors in the four seasons...including hiking, swimming, fishing and skating. My favorite KDAT artists include Sting, "The Sarahs" and Adele. Enjoy your trip through kdat.com!

“Say Something” Breakdown

Retiring The Bike Cart
My kids are aging out of the bicycle cart. And I'm a little sad. We've had many a great trail ride. A rite of passage is the transformation from stroller to bicycle cart to having your OWN 2-wheeler.
RAGBRAI can't be far behind.
I started at the age of 13 and rode 8 in a row...

Congrats to both venues for booking these seasonal favorites for Valentine's Weekend. Snow won't arrive until Saturday, so travelling to these shows shouldn't be a problem...
Valentine’s Day By The Numbers
While you are enjoying our Peck's Flower Shop "holiday pink" website this week, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at some facts and figures surrounding the holiday. The British website Female First has put the microscope on Valentine's Day...
