Erik Thorstenson has seen and broadcasted almost everything imaginable over the last 30 years for KSFY-TV and Dakota News Now as Sioux Falls and the sports landscape in South Dakota has changed dramatically.

Now a morning news anchor, the universally beloved "Thor" spends an hour telling colorful stories of those three decades on the air and pulls back the curtain of what TV shows and national sports celebrities are like off the air.
