Rachael Hanel

Variety Hour (Fourth Tuesday of the month, 3-4 p.m.)
Host of 44 North

Rachael Hanel was looking at her playlist favorites one day and noticed something striking: nearly all of the musicians were from either Minneapolis, Manchester, or Scotland. She is an unabashed fan of northern climates, so she wasn’t surprised that her favorite music comes from places cold and gray. She promises not to play Morrissey for the entire hour.
