À propos de ce contenu audio

 Join Sean McPherson and the City Cast Twin Cities team every weekday morning as we bring you the day's conversations about life in the Twin Cities. With our cast of journalists, activists, experts and residents, we celebrate our wins with beaming pride, critique our shortcomings with the attention of a seed art judge and mutter “that’s interesting” for anything in between. Alongside our daily newsletter, we put the spotlight on the news and culture of the Twin Cities from every perspective we can find – including yours. It’s like a potluck where everyone’s invited and no one brings grape salad. So whether you've been here long enough to remember the Halloween blizzard of 1991, or you just bought your first winter coat, bring your dish over and let's talk.

    • Minnesota Mourns Again, the Symbolism of Whistles, and Culture in a Time of Crisis

      Minnesota Mourns Again, the Symbolism of Whistles, and Culture in a Time of Crisis
      Jan 26 2026
      The Twin Cities are reeling after federal agents killed two residents in less than three weeks. Sean McPherson talks with Creative Producers Tiffany Bui and Adam Sage about the latest events of the weekend before we start the original episode we had planned, where poet and activist Kyle Tran Myhre discusses what artists can do in a time of crisis – from convening audiences to turning poetry, zines, and whistles into tools for community care and resistance. Plus, City Cast Contributor and MPR Newsroom Coordinator Denzel Belin joins us for a look ahead at Twin Cities events worth showing up for this week, because joy, culture, and connection still matter. And find out what event prompts producer Tiffany Bui to utter the phrase, “ as a bisexual Aquarius, I feel seen, called out, respected and feared.” Learn more about the topics discussed in today's episode: How Can Artists Show Up For Minneapolis (Racket) Kyle "Guante" Tran Myhre (website) guantesolo (Instagram) Ice Carvings for Kids (Winter Carnival) New Band Night (Green Room) The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Minnesota Orchestra) Reject’s Cohorts (Mixed Blood Theatre) Improv Zodiac!

    • A Day of Strike and Protest in the Twin Cities

      A Day of Strike and Protest in the Twin Cities
      Jan 24 2026
      A lot of folks are wondering right now what it’s like to be in the Twin Cities, where a massive and aggressive deportation operation is taking place. Today, in -20° weather, local activists organized a general strike. The idea was to protest ICE presence with no work, no school, and no shopping. Over 600 businesses closed their doors, and thousands of protesters gathered in downtown Minneapolis. Our City Cast Twin Cities team was out there documenting it all day, and brought back this dispatch, which we think you’ll want to hear. Want to get in touch?

    • “ICE Out” Day, Church Protesters Arrested, and Be Nice to Snowplows

      “ICE Out” Day, Church Protesters Arrested, and Be Nice to Snowplows
      Jan 23 2026
      Today, across the Twin Cities, businesses are closed, workers are staying home, and people are marching in the street for a “Day of Truth and Freedom” protesting ICE. We talk to union historian Amy Livingston at the University of Minnesota about why unions aren’t calling it a “strike” and the power of past movements like this one. We’re also joined by Anne Meyer at the state Department of Transportation about why everyone seems to have forgotten how to drive in the winter. Plus, Sean and contributor PaviElle French discuss the arrest of several key leaders in the Cities Church protest.
