  • Part One: Harrowing Stories From The Ward 10 DFL Convention (Samuel Doten)
    Jun 5 2025

    You may remember Samuel Doten as the authority figure wielding a tiny gavel in the face of an unruly crowd who stormed the stage at the 2023 Ward 10 DFL convention in Minneapolis. Last Saturday he returned to the elementary school auditorium where it happened. His role this year: leader of a crack team of sergeants-at-arms policing misbehavior at the 2025 convention. These are his stories.

  • Minneapolis City Council Convention Final
    Jun 4 2025

    We begin with a report from Taylor Dahlin on yesterday's federal law enforcement raid of a restaurant on Lake Street. With dozens of officers from ICE, DEA, FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, along with the participation of local cops from Hennepin County and MPD. Many of the feds were masked and dressed for combat, drawing a crowd of protesters who assumed it was an immigration raid.

    Then Taylor, John and Josh offer analysis on results of the Minneapolis DFL endorsement process that wrapped up over the weekend. Who got North Korea Numbers? Which races will be competitive heading into the general election? Why are residents of wards 7 and 10 so especially angry?

    We also talk about the new poll showing a significant decline in Mayor Frey's popularity since 2021. Plus, Taylor and John commiserate over having to shop for "job interview clothes" now that they are the subject of a frivolous legal proceeding.

  • "Not Taking Responsibility for the Kenwood Neighborhood" (with Melody Hoffmann)
    May 28 2025

    We check in with Melody Hoffmann for her first public appearance since being downsized at Southwest Voices. What's next for Melody? What's the state of the hyperlocal news business?

    Then we have an uncomfortable conversation about race as Minneapolis continues to reflect on five years since MPD murdered George Floyd. John explains why he's not taking responsibility for the Kenwood neighborhood.

    As the rain forces us to take a shelter, we finish up with a conversation about what it's like to be a journalist subjected to a subpoena by an elected official and wanting to post about it - but being constrained by the strict fatherly rules of "Lawyer Dan" (Dan Suitor).

    You'll want to watch on YouTube because in the middle of the episode a man shows us the big fish he just caught.
