  • Great guests and interviewer

    As a lifetime Minnesotan and longtime podcast listener, I was happy to find this series. I wondered, however, if the quality would be high for a regionally focused series. After listening to two podcasts, I’m absolutely hooked. The guests are well spoken and the interviewer asks thoughtful and meaningful questions. This show is a delight!
