We're coming to you this week from the front porch next door. Neighbors Art and Jeremie guide us through a delightful conversation about dining, music, working in corporate America, and the joys of living in Hiawatha. We also debrief this year's National Night Out block party.

We're back! And we're excited to be joined by major motion Hallmark channel special streaming film star Sarah Agnew. Sarah discusses her experience in theater, her love of the neighborhood, and her struggles with racquet sports.

If you've been in the neighborhood, you've likely run into this week's guest. The "Book Guy," Hans Weyandt, discusses reading, restaurants, and his frequent walks in the neighborhood. We also get into a heated debate about olives.

Minneapolis journalist and Hiawatha resident Craig Cox joins Kristen and Jay (and Milo the dog) in the basement studio for a fascinating conversation about newspapers, food co-ops, family, and the challenges of finding community today.

Hiawatha resident and aerialist Lynn Lunny joins Jay and Kristen in the basement studio to talk about nurturing mental health through circus arts.

Jenny Graff and Dave Cowan join us in the basement to talk about getting kids to school on the bike train. We also go out on the street to interview some of the bikers.

Our first interview is with former block captain Jean Buckley! Jean discusses her interest in healthy and safe communities, National Night Out, recycling, and getting eaten by worms.

Jay and Kristen introduce the new podcast where they will get to know other residents of their Hiawatha neighborhood in south Minneapolis, Minnesota. See you around the neighborhood!
