The Conway incident, things not to say to your public defender, the SEAL interview, cow dung and the drought in Wisconsin, and return of the eagle in Spooner.
MPR News Reflections and observations on the news
Five by 8
The inland dangers of hurricanes, the ugly side of charity, the art of the family video, Smokey the Liar, and the entertainers who strike out at Wrigley Field.
Signs in the news, the helicopters of Minneapolis, where are the fathers, your partisan status, and the glamorous world of a country at war.
Who are the next heroes, writing a life’s story one peck at a time, welcome to Grand Forks, the things you learn playing football in Stillwater, and another BWCA video.
Making the best of bad, a gastro review at the Fair, us spying on us, is the era of cheap food over, and the joy of Wiffle Ball.
One woman’s story, the SE Minnesota flood stories we never heard until now, TV weatherpeople and climate change, maybe more schools should be like Como High School, and an eye on the world’s most famous crosswalk.
Now this message from reality, live from the hungry, the Serial Stackers, how to close the achievement gap, and the light-rail shuffle.
Should kids teach themselves, what’s the deal with your salary, breakfast and a hug in Barnum, in search of the real Wisconsin, and the games we all play that we don’t realize we’re playing.
What the men in Brainerd know that a candidate in Missouri doesn’t, lessons from the flooding of Rushford, when lightning strikes, drunk in South Dakota at 14, and dispatches from the music man.
Cars v. people (cont’d), a good hurricane could end a bad drought, ugly poverty in beautiful pictures, when predictions of doom don’t come true, and Minnesota moments from the BWCA.
Living with ‘why me,’ selling eggs to fly, is college worth it, Rushford’s flying lawn chair squadron, and reinventing the toilet.
Revealing rural Minnesota, everything on a stick, is energy independence possible, crop-dusting season, and sometimes you have to just keep rowing.
Should there be more restrictions on teen drivers, end of the golden era of food trucks, llamas 101, the paradox of the close call, some kids are smarter than others, and the great bike helmet debate of 2012.
Grading the medal predictions, gas prices jump again, the impossible things that are possible, a Perseid postscript, and the return to South St. Paul.
When authorities know where you are, the predictable plane crash video, are we a melting pot or a boiling pot, Duluth watches Kansas City get the fiber diet, and if you want to slim down be a hunter/gatherer.
