Blois tells us about his week unplugging from the political world.  But he's back to work and chatting with the following guests:

• State Rep. Harry Niska discusses this year's legislative session and if litigation has become much more of a political player than in decades past.
• University of Minnesota Center for Forest Ecology director Lee Frelich talks about the Canadian wildfires, whether those are abnormal, and if Minnesota is in for a similar fate.
