This lady’s politics are disgusting.
John does great work, he is an admirable investigator and journalist. I have learned so much about Minneapolis and beyond from him. Don’t miss the cat tour, it remains one of my favorite activities I’ve ever participated in!
The WedgeLIVE! podcast has helped me be more engaged in city politics and neighborhood events. Plus, John the host has a great sense of humor. So grateful for this podcast!
This podcast has been a great way for me to get the great local coverage I expect from Wedge Live while reducing my screen time. I'm keeping up with local candidates’ and other Minneapolis residents’ perspectives on policy. If you’re a Minneapolis resident looking to learn more about your community, this is the podcast for you!
Great podcast, very funny and smart. Loved episode 1, bring back Jason for another episode!
