What's going on up there in Duluth?

Plenty of stuff worth trying out ahead of your demise, that's for sure. Duluth News Tribune reporter Jay Gabler chronicled the exact number in his new book, 100 Things to Do In Duluth Before You Die. Jay, who you might remember from his time at 89.3 the Current, hopped on the pod to discuss the Zenith City's must-do activities, and he also gave us a nice rundown of the big talkers coming out of the Twin Ports; check out his book-release party dates here.

And here are the stories we gabbed about during What I Learned In Racket…

• An Educated Guesser’s Guide to the 2025 Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival
• Grading the 2025 Additions to Target Field’s New Food Lineup
• I Came to Minnesota From Venezuela 2 Years Ago. Now I Have to Go Back.
