    What the hell is happening at Minneapolis City Hall? (w/ Aurin Chowdhury)

    My conversation with Council Member Aurin Chowdhury about the latest from city hall. In the face of a mayoral power grab on budgets, appointments, and street layouts - are the walls closing in on the Minneapolis City Council? We talk about the recent onslaught of pundit criticism of the city council; her aspirations for a day when she isn't openly cussed at by colleagues during meetings; her thoughts on Cop City - aka, the police training facility proposal; and her plan for a moratorium on new data centers - a pause so the city can figure out how to regulate this exploding industry. And we ponder the question, is it ever ok to gift hamsters to a love interest?

    "The system itself is breaking" - A housing policy conversation (w/AsaleSol Young & Soren Stevenson)

    I'm joined by Minneapolis Council Member Soren Stevenson and AsaleSol Young, executive director of Housing in Action, for a conversation about local housing policy. We talk about proposals for extending the eviction notice requirement in Minneapolis, the strain that puts on affordable housing non-profits, and policies necessary at the state and local level to ease a shortage of affordable housing.

  6. A Toddmergency has been declared in Minneapolis

    A Toddmergency has been declared in Minneapolis

    Taylor Dahlin and Josh Martin join me for a conversation about something none of us has witnessed before: a mayoral appointee getting voted down by the Minneapolis City Council. On Thursday, Todd Barnette failed to secure the majority vote required to be reappointed as the Commissioner of Community Safety. Mayor Jacob Frey says the council's action has nothing to do with Barnette's job performance; the council is simply acting to spite the mayor. In reality, as we discuss, there is plenty of fault to find with Barnette's tenure. Plus we blow your mind with the philosophical question: can a mayor veto the absence of an action? We also talk about the successful reappointment of City Operations Officer Margaret Anderson Kelliher and City Attorney Kristyn Anderson. In the second half of the show we go into detail on the Minneapolis Charter Commission's attempt to eliminate the public hearing and confirmation process for a handful of mayoral appointees (Civil Rights, Regulatory Services, Health, and Assessor's Office). If approved, this proposal would be decided by voters via a ballot question during this year's general election. This is an idea so bad, it's uniting people from across the political spectrum against it.

    Uptown is Dead, Melody is Alive (w/ Melody Hoffmann)

    Melody Hoffmann is back for another edition of Monthly with Melody to talk about her article "Uptown in crisis" for Southwest Voices. Local business owners are unhappy with a lack of city response to their concerns about homelessness, drug use, and general state of disorder. We talk about the city and community response, and ask whether these issues in Uptown are a side effect of the city's whack a mole approach to homelessness.

    What's Left After the Violence? (w/ José Antonio Zayas Cabán) (w/ José Antonio Zayas Cabán)

    I'm joined by José Antonio Zayas Cabán, executive director of Our Streets, to talk about his organization returning to host Open Streets in Minneapolis. And they're doing it entirely apart from the city of Minneapolis, which will continue to sponsor alternative open streets events. José also explains how the community reaction to a violent federal occupation is an example of how a "democratized economy" could create more durable and resilient communities.
