Latest Epstein updates. Also thinking about marriages today. While MAGA files a new lawsuit to end marriage equality, they are also seeing marriages falter on farms with the divorce rate going up. And farmers are overwhelmingly MAGA. What’s the deal?

In the wake of last week’s announcement that the Trump administration will end gender affirming healthcare for everyone under 18 years throughout America, Trans Youth Emergency Project is helping families figure out what’s next.

In a country where we engage with modern comforts all the time, have you ever wondered about the ways this might disserve our mental wellness? Embracing discomfort, a topic made more popular by author Michael Easter in his book The Comfort Crisis, can be a helpful tool in harnessing resilience and personal capacity. In this episode, join host Becky McNattin and special guest host Shawn Bergeth as they explore themes from the book The Comfort Crisis, and process through ways to reframe discomfort in our daily lives.

In this episode of the Wall of Power Radio Hour, Paul Metsa reunites with longtime bandmates Tim O’Keefe, Jack Pasternacki, and Joe Luoma to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their band, Cats Under the Stars. The group swaps stories about everything from jamming in high school and surviving freezing canoe trip gigs to what fans can expect at their upcoming reunion show at the Parkway Theater. Tune in for plenty of laughs, memories from five decades on the Iron Range, and classic tracks like “Blue Ghost” and “Virginia.”

I admit right away that I am not in the holiday spirit because our community is facing a “ten-alarm fire” with the passage of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s horrific “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” and a new HHS rule threatening hospital funding. My Big Interview is with Ryan Cooper from The American Prospect, who joins me to discuss his piece “The Transphobic Mask is Off” and how the GOP’s obsession has turned into open hatred and fascism. I cover news about hospitals fighting DOJ subpoenas and a disturbing new bill in Florida that protects transphobic workplace harassment. Finally, I try to lift spirits with a Random Act about my neighbors, “Kelly and Jack,” who heroically adopted four siblings to keep them together.

Andi Otto, Rina Heisel, and Kelsey Alto deliver a heartfelt 2025 retrospective, diving into the impact of the Pride Cultural Art Center, the Rainbow Wardrobe’s success, and the massive volunteer effort that powered the year’s events. They candidly discuss the financial realities of running a non-profit, explaining how every dollar from festival fees to donations is reinvested directly into community support programs. Then they wrap up with an inspiring look ahead to 2026, teasing upcoming events like the Regional Pride Summit and an evening with Hillary Clinton.
