Drivetime with DeRusha

We slid up a day for our time with Tracy to get her take on KAT winning a title with New York and whether we should be happy for others who win a title outside of Minnesota and in honor of America turning 250 - what would Tracy send in a time capsule with Minnesota ties?

One of the big stories from this weekend was an agreement between President Donald Trump and Iranian leaders where the war in Iran will come to an end - is this truly the end or is there something more here. We talk to Dr. Mark Bell with the University of Minnesota about the latest with this ceasefire deal and potentially the true end to the War in Iran!

There has been a lot of concern over AI and data centers here in Minnesota and beyond but Dan shares why we are misinterpreting what AI really is and ways in which we can embrace the rise of AI and use it but also maintain human connectivity with this!

Dan Cook in for DeRusha on a Monday and we begin with the latest poll results from the Star Tribune showing a massive gap between Amy Klobuchar and everyone else - so does this mean it is over?

Another sports championship with yes, a former big name in Minnesota sports! This weekend the New York Knicks won the NBA Championship featuring Karl Anthony Towns but should we really be happy for stars constantly leaving and winning elsewhere?

According to an updated Star Tribune poll for the GOP race for Minnesota governor - Amy Klobuchar has a distant 8 point lead over Lisa Demuth and Kendall Qualls and at this rate the gap is huge even four and a half months out from Election Day!
