  2. Thanksgiving Special: Just Grateful to Be Online During This Difficult Time

    Thanksgiving Special: Just Grateful to Be Online During This Difficult Time

    John is joined by Taylor Dahlin and Ryan Brown for an uncomfortable Thanksgiving conversation about the state of the online world. John and Taylor have been doing double duty on both bluesky and twitter in recent weeks. Ryan wonders if he'll ever post again, as he tries to figure out what he wants from social media. We talk about the ups and downs of both platforms and try to convince Ryan to join us on bluesky as soon as possible. Plus, John wonders why his police chief pec popping video didn't get traction on either platform; and responds to Adam Platt's sorrowful parting shot at migrants to bluesky. And Taylor mercilessly attacks the people and culture of bluesky, while John only sees a vibrant and growing local community of posters.

    Garrison McMurtrey, candidate for Ramsey County Board in district 3

    Because our broadcast signal does occasionally bleed across the river, John is joined by Garrison McMurtrey, a candidate for a seat on the Ramsey County Board that controls an annual budget in excess of $800 million. We talk about the challenge local governments face under a second Trump administration, streets, health care, housing, homelessness, transit, and more. The special election for the district 3 seat in Ramsey County is happening on February 11, 2025.

    DeWayne Davis gets early start on 2025 campaign for Minneapolis mayor

    With the 2024 election and the fate of the nation still hanging precariously in the balance, the 2025 city election season has already begun. This is my conversation with Rev. Dr. DeWayne Davis as he embarks on his mayoral campaign (recorded Oct 23, 2024). Davis is the lead minister at Plymouth Congregational Church in the Steven’s Square neighborhood; served as co-chair of Mayor Frey's Community Safety Work Group in 2021; is a former congressional staffer; and served as chaplain of the MN State Senate.

    Kim Ellison, candidate for Minneapolis School Board at-large

    Kim Ellison is running for re-election to an at-large seat on the Minneapolis School Board, which means every voter in the city will have her on their ballot There are two competitive school board races this year. One is for a citywide at-large seat and the other is in district 6. This is one of four episodes with candidates for those two seats.
