Customer Reviews
A great take on Minnesota politics followers
Great show and they have a great mix of guests from different perspectives. They also can pivot to hit more urgent issues - like school resource officers. Definitely worth adding to your list of listens each week.
Excellent discussion!
Excellent discussion regarding the current state of Marijuana Law in Minnesota. Thomas Gallagher was an excellent resource and I hope he comes back for a follow-up episode as the law evolves.
Love this pod!
In a age of partisan vitriol these folks produce a reasoned and reasonable take on Minnesota politics! Great guests and insightful questions.
