  • Water and North Minneapolis

    With more than 10,000 lakes and more shoreline than Florida, Hawaii, and California combined, it’s difficult to travel anywhere in Minnesota without crossing a lake, waterfall or river. The name Minneapolis even comes from a combination of the Dakota Sioux word "mini," meaning water and the Greek word "apolis" meaning city.

    Despite its abundance and the profound connection between Minnesotans and their water, some families in North Minneapolis have been cut off from the river for generations. But with the city’s recent acquisition of 48 acres of Mississippi river waterfront, known as the Upper Harbor Terminal, this could change.

  • The Artist Life in MSP

    Artist density in Minnesota is 150% greater than the national average,  Minnesota is second to only New York City in theatre employment, and Minnesotans lay claim to icons like Bob Dylan, The Replacements, and Rhyme sayers record label.

    Despite overwhelming participation in the arts, Minnesota artists receive limited national and international attention. So, if artists remain in Minneapolis/St. Paul, can they make a living? On this episode, we speak with people creating and ask how they’re doing.  Checking on if, in a city that prides itself on arts and culture, it is indeed possible to live the artist life in MSP.

  • 84 Neighborhoods

    Within Minneapolis and St. Paul there are 84 neighborhoods. Unique enclaves scattered with shops, parks, museums, and Universities. Boundaries are blurry but when meandering from one to another, distinct identities emerge. On this show, we stroll through one of the 84 neighborhoods that, in it’s odd uniqueness, represents one of the many eclectic corners of MSP.
