We're just over a month out from Election Day, and recent polling from KSTP and co/efficient show statewide races tightening across Minnesota. Contributor and political moderator Tane Danger joins the podcast to discuss what these polls show and why the shift may be happening. Later, we kindly remind our listeners NOT TO PICK UP ANIMALS OFF THE SIDEWALK after a Minneapolis bat recently tested positive for rabies. MinnPost reporter Trevor Mitchell also joins the conversation to break down a new Minneapolis noise ordinance that affects how loud Ring Doorbells are allowed to be when they yell at passersby.
