Proud of City Cast Twin Cities’ Political Coverage + Check Out Amy Siegel + David Cava on “No Brains, No Lightbulbs”
Friends, I hope you’ll give the City Cast Twin Cities podcast a listen or a watch if you are the type of very common and still completely confusing type of person who absorbs whole podcast episodes on YouTube. I am working with an amazing group of people who are trying doggedly to add a new angle to an already amazing town for local media. But every town has blind spots and stories that go untold and we are doing our best to fill in some of those blind spots and also look at major stories with a different lens. I’m really proud of the work and I hope you’ll legitimately check it out, not just a little social media clip, but some full conversations. Lately we’ve talked encampments, Rondo and Low Power FM radio, and Boundary Waters. We are also connecting with a bunch of the individuals running for office in Minnesota. The Hao Nguyen interview is up and we have lots more coming including Angie Craig, Cedric Frazier and more. I’m humbled to be doing this work and so grateful to be having these conversations. I hope you’ll check it out. The YT version of our episode that includes Nguyen as well as chats about Fat Beach Day, Heritage Park and the State Fair is below!
One of the Trivia Mafia Originals, Amy Siegel
Chuck, Producer Beth and I have also been going hard with our “No Brains, No Lightbulbs” episodes. We’ve hit a stride with some awesome questions and some really fun banter and the guests have just been god damn top notch. I’ve known Amy Siegel for I don’t know. . .23 years? 25 years? I’m old as shit. Amy’s awesome as shit. She was a joy to ‘cast with. Check that one out right here!
A man who has failed people but in a reasonable way, David Cava
And on Saturday August 8 at 5 a.m. we are dropping our latest episode with David Cava. Let the Twins jersey fool you, this dude loves the Twins. David is an amazing dude; he’s a physics teacher, he runs Trivia Mafia and he knows a blinding amount about Prince. Get that episode right here.
The bugs are biting a little bit out here while I listen to Radio K, drink champagne and finish some random loose ends up after an absolutely stunning day off from City Cast Twin Cities. I went back to Jazz88 and talked trivia with Manny, Travis and Yonci and then I got an awesome haircut from Mike at Good Neighbor. Tonight my youngest and I walked to Tono and I got their shockingly good pesto burrata salad. What a treat. Maybe I’ll see you at the Lynx game or the Fort Road Folk Fest my bestie Martin is running at the White Squirrel. Whatever you do I hope you really enjoy your weekend.
