We lament (again) the cornucopia of conspiracy theories, students get suspended for posting school photos, Trump sits down for some 'Wide Ranging' interviews & we both praise the power of reading some youth literature for a much needed mental break. 

Today we discuss our reactions to the new Minnesota Mask Mandate, spend some time mulling over last weeks interviews of Jordan Rasmussen & Brittney Johnson (both running for MN House) and the return of "What the Heck" and "MN Nice" segments, featuring a the "Wall of Moms" in Portland as well as a great story of a new cross-walk brought about by a patriotic crafting project.

Today we discuss issues and pressures from all sides around sending kids back to school this fall. ‘Staycationers’ trash northern Minnesota over the 4th of July. And the Supreme Court turns heads with end of session rulings.

Our first guest, Fergus Falls Mayor Ben, joins us to talk about racial issues in rural Minnesota. ‘What the heck’ is a camel doing in the backyard? And ice cream shops across Minnesota are handing out smiles one scoop at a time.

We cover a lot of ground in here. Protestors continue to tear down statues including ones of abolitionists like Fredrick Douglas and others. Trump gives a 4th if July speech. Kanye West announces his 2020 Vision. Tami discovers not all Republicans are for voting for Trump. And ‘Hamilton’ finally arrives in our homes. How lucky we are to be alive right now!

We pack a lot into this episode. Even in this crazy time it seems some days/weeks are packed with more crazy than others. We touch on Corona-Virus explosion in the US, ongoing racism issues, did Russia put bounty on US troops heads, St. Louis couple going 'Scar-face' on passing protesters and much much more. 

This show we dive into the discussion about recent calls (and actions) to remove a wide array of statues across the US. We talk about the who, what, why and how. Also, the US is running out of pennies but food trucks will save the day!

This episode we continue our conversation on what people really mean when calling to ‘abolish’ or ‘defund’ the police. We discuss what that might look like and take a look at some examples of where it’s been done, like Camden NJ.

Amidst nationwide protest in the wake of George Floyd's death there have been increasing calls for 'Abolishing' and/or 'Defunding' police departments, including Minneapolis.

Today we discuss more thoughts on the protests and riots in MN and around the world, Trump threatens to send in the military, MN (despite some missteps) gives another master class in Leadership, and there IS good in this world - you just have to go look for it.

Today we begin our conversation about racism in our state and our country. We try to cover some of our thoughts on the events surrounding the killing of George Floyd, the unrest in Minneapolis/St. Paul, how we are working to understand what we don't understand and discuss some ways that even white, rural mid-westerners can work to move toward justice. 

‘What the heck’ is going on in Minneapolis & St. Paul? We dig into the increasingly political ‘reopening’ of the country, specifically churches getting the (reduced capacity) green light in MN. And Peter Bence brings the smiles with some new songs to listen to while we enjoy our ‘low risk’ summer activities.

Listen in as Tami takes a swing at describing what ‘Liberal’ means to her, Jeff Bezos is a Bazzillionaire and, praise the Lord, MN bonfire season is here to reset our souls!

Today we discuss armed militia men ‘protecting’ barbers in Michigan, are ‘Immunity Passports’ a good idea,” and what does ‘contract tracing’ even mean? After all that we reminder ourselves Brownies make everything better.

Today we discuss how a house party was not such a good idea, Jared Kushner steps in it again (with a little help from Time Mag), we dive deeper into our reactions to Minnesota beginning it slow roll to reopening and reminder ourselves to 'see the helpers' and 'be the helpers'.

Listen in while Mike ties himself in knots trying to describe what ‘Conservative’ means to him, Micheal Flynn gets a ‘get out of jail free’ card and Lin Manuel Miranda saves us all (and Disney).
