Podcast appearances and mentions of erica mauter

John is joined by Erica Mauter for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of the 2021 election. Erica reacts to John's narration of what he calls "the Kneecapping of Erica Mauter" by the Star Tribune Editorial Board. Erica talks about her experience campaigning for City Council as a Queer Black woman in an especially white part of Minneapolis (Ward 11), and how that influenced her decision to find a new neighborhood. We ponder the current state of the race in Ward 11 and elsewhere. How do we, as residents of this city, get to a shared theory of the last 15 months -- and how we arrived at this moment when it comes to police and public safety? How do we deal with that gnawing fear of the Rainville (Ward 3) and Hofstede (Ward 11) families returning to power at city hall? We relive the horror of LaTrisha Vetaw (Ward 4) turning herself into the worst caricature of a politician. Listen until the end to hear John do one of the most embarrassing things a person can do: reciting a protest chant on a podcast. And Erica turns the podcast into an ice cream advertisement.

Issues and only issues, mostly! Bill and Brandi are joined again by organizer and activist Erica Mauter as they try to look past the 137 Democratic presidential candidates and the narcissistic madman in the White House to focus on what actual policy issues the country should prioritize for 2020 and beyond. Also: black Game of Thrones fans and their #DemThrones live tweets; Minneapolis moped culture; and a recipe website even Bill can handle. Finally, we try to help a listener who thinks she may be DONE trying to find a life partner. With Brandi Brown and Erica Mauter.

Wonk madness: we analyze the 2018 midterm elections, then analyze that analysis.  Plus eccentric baking shows, eccentric baking politicians, Jennifer Lawrence’s need for a new manager, and everyone’s favorite jam, Québécois glam rock.  Also, personal boundaries: get some!  With Brandi Brown and special wonk ringers Erica Mauter and Matthew Foster.

In the second installment of our series on women running for office, we hear from first time candidates. Laura Moser is entering the race for Texas's 7th Congressional district. Molly Sheehan is award-winning scientist with a PhD in biochemistry and biophysics running for Congress in Pennsylvania's 7th district. And yet, so much change is local. We hear from Erica Mauter who started running for a City Council seat in Minneapolis when she realized the candidate she wanted to see was a person with her skills and energy. Tell us about the first-time women candidates you're supporting with #CYGruns.

The podcast this week is a conversation with Erica Mauter, a engineer and executive director of the Twin Cities Women’s Choir, a non-profit.
