Song: Hildegard's Song Music by: Barbara McAfee   Notes: Sometimes a great groove and simple harmonies is exactly what you need to explore over -- and this song is a beautiful way to listen to your own singing voice playing. Barbara McAfee joins us next week to talk about her journey toward becoming a voice mentor to many folk, developing the Full Voice program, and what that means to her. We were both reeling a bit in the wake of the apparently politically motivated shootings in Minnesota, close to Barbara, shortly before we recorded. Reflecting on the effect of listening to our own voices helped us both stabilize and ground.    Songwriter Info: Barbara lives on the wild and scenic St Croix River about an hour from Minneapolis/St Paul. She is a master voice coach, songwriter, song leader, hospice choir director, long distance swimmer, poet, and author of Full Voice. She feels so lucky to be alive on planet Earth.   Sharing Info: The song is free to share in oral tradition groups, but please contact Barbara for recording and/or performing permission.   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:02:58 Start time of reprise: 00:10:14   Links: Barbara's website: www.barbaramcafee.com    Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, mixolydian, 3-layer   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?

The St. Paul and Minneapolis Audubon chapters have dropped the contentious naturalist's namesake from their titles, rebranding their organizations as the St. Paul Bird Alliance and Land of Lakes Bird Alliance, respectively. It follows an evolving, countrywide trend after the National Audubon Society leadership voted down removing the association with John James Audubon from its name last year. Born in 1785, Audubon was a groundbreaking artist, naturalist and ornithologist whose work is still widely used today, but was funded by the slave trade. He's also accused of plagiarism, academic fraud and other “despicable things,” the society says. “The name might not have been a barrier for the current members, but as an organization that wants to grow and really serve the birds and protect the habitat, we needed to incorporate more people into the organization,” Latina photographer Monica Bryand, who joined the St. Paul Bird Alliance's board about a year ago and identifies as queer, told MPR News. “In Minnesota, with the growing number of BIPOC and LGBTQ folks, we needed something different… [to] grow the organization.”Currently its co-chair, Bryand has served on the alliance's conservation committee for a decade. But it took the National Audubon Society rejecting a name change and a nudge from St. Paul's chapter president for her to accept a spot on the board and to be part of a local solution. President Greg Burnes “knew and understood that it was more than just a name change, that we had to work inside the organization to make it more welcoming and inclusive, and I wanted to be in there. And if I wanted this, I needed to be in it with them,” Bryand said. Black, Native and queer people have long felt like there was no place in such societies or out in nature for them, according to Bryand. A birder now for more than 20 years, she long felt like she didn't see herself reflected in the organization. Six years ago, she decided to change that and create a safe space for people of color and LGBTQ+ people with the Urban Bird Collective. The group helps these communities get out and explore nature while redefining who is considered an expert in birding and conservation. “And what I tell people, what I tell outdoor organizations — and organizations like Audubon — is that while I created this space, BIPOC and LGBT folks shouldn't need to find me. They might not find the Urban Bird Collective, and they shouldn't have to,” Bryand said. Organizations like nature centers and Audubon “have all the resources. And I want BIPOC folks to feel comfortable and welcomed in all of those spaces.” Meanwhile, there's an effort underway by the American Ornithological Society to change the names of bird species associated with people, racism and colonialism. That, too, has gotten pushback similar to that experienced by Audubon. Bryand believes it's a step in the right direction. She also hopes those who didn't support a societal name change understand why some members wanted it and are willing to learn why, thus opening the door for more people of various backgrounds and demographics to be welcomed into organizations like the St. Paul Bird Alliance.

How do you deal with angry feelings when things go wrong? Do you sometimes think that God is to blame? Is it possible to pray when you are upset and hurt? Lisa continues the conversation today with radio host, best-selling author, and Episcopalian Deacon Ian Punnett as he shares ways to express your rawest emotions through prayer, as described in his book, “How to Pray When You're Pissed at God.”  Ian talks about anger in a societal aspect and how it's even portrayed in gender. He discusses an emphasis in how women are taught to “accept things” and “not be too loud.” This mutes their own voice because of expectations. If things are going wrong, prayer can actually keep you going so you can express your feelings. Ian talks about a simple 3-step method: Name it – What is really bothering you? Proclaim it – Give it voice in detail. Then, Reframe it.  He talks about giving anger space and not reacting right away.  Ian also talks about prayer and religion, as well as meditation and visualization. He explains ways to express anger and how, in certain circumstances, it is fine to do so. We have a poor understanding of the role of anger; we don't teach it, and we don't know how to be constructively and responsibly angry. The model is in the Bible. Ian explains how there are Psalms and Hymns about anger, and he discusses the work he has done as a chaplain in the hospital with people who are very angry about their situations. He talks about addressing it, as suppressed anger can eventually lead to depression. If we feel like we are being hurt, we can pray about it.  Ian Punnett is one of the hosts of Coast to Coast AM, a legendary radio show syndicated on more than 600 stations across North America. He received his Ph.D. from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University and served as a professor and chief operator of the award-winning KSDB–FM at Kansas State University.  He is a deacon in the Episcopal Church and received his Masters of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta.  He has worked in radio since he was 14 years old, at the high school radio station, then as a nighttime DJ at a Chicago station during college. He also worked at stations in Nashville, Atlanta, and Minneapolis/St Paul. After experiencing tinnitus, he was forced to step down from radio and during many sleepless nights, he wrote the book, “How to Pray When You're Pissed at God.” This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/ian-punnett  This interview was originally taped in June of 2013, and we air this today in honor of our colleague and friend Deacon Ian Punnett. Ian is one of the hosts of Coast to Coast AM, a Hall of Fame award-winning broadcaster, professor, and best-selling author. He passed away on December 22, 2023. Deus te Amat, Ian.

Eric Johnson's dad was in aviation so he grew up going to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. He remembers spinning hot dog racks and generic restaurants. As his career started at MSP, the airport brought aboard more creative thinkers.  Working with consultants and operators interested in pushing boundaries, the airport became one of the first to start changing the industry. The result was a concessions program resembling a mall, with dynamic storefronts and eye-catching design that helped transition not just MSP but the entire industry.

The Sota Pod Podcast Episode 316

This week, Lauren brings you her interview with Chris from Heavy Metal Money. The two discuss the sensitive and emotional topic of divorce, and they really dive into the financial impacts of divorce. What happens to your bank accounts? Retirement accounts? What about your credit score? How do you split your assets? Who takes care of the kids? Is there alimony? Child support? Despite the heaviness of the topic, the conversation actually remains pretty upbeat with some laughs along the way. Chris has had time to heal and grow since the divorce and does a great job making a complicated process much less so. About Chris: Chris lives just north of the twin cities Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota. Chris was divorced in 2015, and this had helped him to be intentional about personal finance, paying down debt, investing and saving. He continues to work in enterprise technology, while also investing in real estate. He started blogging about his finance journey over at Heavy Metal Money, and has just started the Heavy Metal Money YouTube channel and Podcast. Chris has a deep passion for music, entrepreneurship & business and has a newly formed nonprofit to help those experiencing financial hardship due to medical debt caused by premature birth.

Notes: Barbara says about the song: "I wrote it while driving up to Lake Superior to share Thanksgiving with friends. Some of it was composed while standing in the Brule River in a light rain. Ecstasy...." Here we are, getting close to Thanksgiving in the United States -- a reminder of the great harm humans can do to each other through greed, ignorance, and fear -- and also a reminder of the ecstasy of gratitude. Talk about an example of "both-and". I'm fortunate in that this holiday brings my husband's family all together in one place for many days... and I love the way this song can rumble along underneath my day, whether or not I'm observing a holiday! Songwriter Info: Barbara lives on the wild and scenic St Croix River about an hour from Minneapolis/St Paul.

Policing is a tough job. There can be experiences and incidents that can drive anyone to the edge. The profession gets better and better with training and education to help us respond appropriately and handle most any situation, but do we do a good job at addressing an officer's mental health wellness?  Today's show deals with the mental health and well-being of law enforcement officers and their families. Policing Matters host Jim Dudley speaks with master's level therapist Marie Ridgeway about the role therapy can play in improving officer mental wellness. Marie's private practice in the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area of Minnesota has a team of five therapists who work with over 50 public safety agencies and have served thousands of law enforcement officers since 2017. This episode of the Policing Matters Podcast is brought to you by Lexipol, the experts in policy, training, wellness support and grants assistance for first responders and government leaders.

An expat journalist reflects on the recent revolutions that have transformed her native Ukraine. A filmmaker, looking for spiritual advice, goes to a secretive Buddhist monastery in Kyoto. A mother grieves for her young son and seeks answers about why childhood drownings are shockingly common. A young dancer finds her way back to performing after experiencing a life-changing swimming accident. What do these four compelling films have in common? The answer: in each case, a first-time feature documentary director shares a deeply personal point of view that can only be fully explored by turning the camera on him or herself. They are also the four films featured in “Top Docs”' first live, in-person event, a lively, illuminating and emotional panel discussion called “In the Frame: The Art of Personal Documentary”.   On Saturday, May 14, at the recently concluded 41st Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival, “Top Docs” brought together filmmakers Katya Soldak (“The Long Breakup”), Ahsen Nadeem (“Crows Are White”), Chezik Tsunoda (“Drowning in Silence”), and Kelsey Peterson and Daniel Klein (“Move Me”), whose films were screening at the festival. Moderated by Ken, the panel delved into such questions as: What brought you to the critical creative moment when you decided to go on camera? What makes a personal documentary different from other modes of documentary storytelling? How did you navigate the sensitive issue of whether to film your friends and family? And where did you find the courage to excavate your own archive of home movie footage even if that meant potentially reliving personal trauma? It's a remarkably frank conversation with four filmmakers just stepping onto the feature documentary stage, and one that we know you won't want to miss.   “In the Frame” is the first in a series of “Top Docs” podcast events that spotlights the next-gen wave of up-and-coming documentary filmmakers. Stay tuned for more next-gen interviews as part of our partnership with the Palm Springs International ShortFest, which takes place June 21 – 27 in Palm Springs, CA.

In this week's episode, I am joined again by my friend Dan Garscia of FAIR Twin Cities. We're shaking things up a little this week and doing things a bit different. Some current events have been on my mind as they are quite divisive, bringing out the hate in a lot of folks, so I've asked my friend Dan to join me for a conversation on those topics.Our conversation starts with a discussion on Free Speech and Elon Musk's pending purchase of Twitter. The mere thought of an individual proposing a “free speech” environment, purchasing the social media platform has many (of a certain mindset) apoplectic…A whole lot of hate has been on display over the past week regarding the leaked Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade… There are an awful lot of misconceptions and ignorance floating around the internet ecosystem on this topic, and as the DTH listeners know, ignorance tends to lead to a whole bunch of HATE…The perpetual victim mentality was on full display again this past week here in the state in which I live, Minnesota, when the mother of Daunte Wright decided to confront police with some attitude after seeing a high-risk arrest taking place along a Minnesota highway. This is not helpful and just leads to enhanced problems and hate…So grateful to have been joined again by my friend Dan Garscia of FAIR Twin Cities for this conversation.

The 40th Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival wraps up this weekend with a screening of “After Antarctica,” a documentary that looks at polar explorer Will Steger’s career. In 1989, Steger’s exploration of Antarctica highlighted the need to address climate change. Thirty years later, he attempted to make the same journey but was unable to complete it due to the effects of climate change on Antarctica. “Just the other day, one of the largest chunks ever, the size of Long Island, broke off of Antarctica,” Steger said. “It’s no longer possible to do that exact route because 300 miles of it just does not exist anymore.” “After Antarctica” explores these changes to the region and the work being done to address the climate crisis. Tasha Van Zandt directed the film. Her motivation for the project stemmed from her own commitment to climate change awareness — and her upbringing in Minnesota. Van Zandt was raised in south Minneapolis and attended the University of Minnesota.  “Growing up in Minnesota, Will Steger was such a hometown hero and just a local legend,” Van Zandt said. “I remember being young and looking at pictures of National Geographic magazines and learning about Will’s journeys.” Van Zandt was working with National Geographic when she met Steger following a speech he gave in downtown Minneapolis.  “I just felt so inspired to find a way as a documentarian to share his incredible journey with others,” Van Zandt said. Guests: Will Steger is a polar explorer, educator, author, entrepreneur and climate activist. He is the founder of Climate Generation, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit that empowers individuals and their communities to engage in solutions to climate change. Tasha Van Zandt is a director, cinematographer, photojournalist and producer who has traveled around the world for her work and won numerous international awards. She is the director of the short films “Stephen Curry: Make the Moment” (2017), “The Gun Chronicles: A Story Of America” (2019) and “One Thousand Stories: The Making of a Mural” (2019). “After Antarctica” (2020) is her debut feature documentary.

Pop quiz: What kind of airline has dreams of being a regional operator but has no interest in actually operating airplanes? The answer: Landline.   The co-founder and CEO of the "airline," David Sunde, has a background in airline networks, and his team is building a regional feeder that won't fly a single airplane. Anything else, however, is fair game. It's all about multi-modal, and so far Landline's fleet of vehicles ranging from private cars to buses feeds Sun Country's hub in Minneapolis/St Paul and United's hub in Denver.   Hasn't this been tried before? Sure, but as you've probably heard before, this is different. This time, it really does seem to be, and the exciting stuff hasn't even happened yet.   Come join me for this episode of The Cranky Flier Interview presented by Ontario International Airport, a half hour chat with David about everything from putting an airport at Disneyland to clearing security before you even get on the bus.

Allison O'Toole joined Second Harvest Heartland in February 2019, since then shes made significant progress toward her goals of providing more healthy foods to more people, rescuing more food from waste, and helping our neighbors weather increasing financial pressures. The organization's COVID-19 response represents a major mobilization effort to adapt to a changing and growing need for food support in the community. Allison joined Second Harvest Heartland from the United States of Care, where she served as Senior Director of State Affairs focusing on the mission that every American has affordable health care. Before her tenure at United States of Care, Allison was CEO of MNsure, joining in 2014 as the Deputy for External Affairs and then promoted to CEO in 2015. During her leadership at MNsure, Allison led an aggressive marketing campaign and strategic overhaul of the MNsure operations, customer service, and outreach programs, resulting in three years of record-breaking enrollment, improved customer service, and increased system stability. She testified twice before Congress, often a national spokesperson on behalf of state-based exchanges across the country. Before joining MNsure, Allison was a director at a Minneapolis-based public affairs firm where she specialized in issues management for businesses and organizations primarily in Minnesota. Prior to that, she served as state director for U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. Earlier in her career, she spent nearly a decade as a prosecutor, where she prosecuted some of the most violent criminals in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Allison received her BA in Political Science and Art History from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. She received her JD from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, MN. She serves on the boards of directors at the Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery and UCare, and the board of trustees at Breck School. Allison loves art, good food, and Prince. What you'll learn about in this episode: What Second Harvest Heartland is doing to make an impact on the community How 2020 and the global pandemic have affected the efforts of Second Harvest Heartland How the Minneapolis-St. Paul community has stepped up to the plate to fight the biggest year in hunger since the Great Depression Second Harvest's transition to a new location/warehouse right at the beginning of the pandemic, and what it took from a leadership perspective How Allison continues to find inspiration in light of everything that has happened and the uncertainty that lies ahead Resources: Website: https://www.2harvest.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonotoole/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/second-harvest-heartland/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/2harvest Twitter: https://twitter.com/2harvest Eliminating Hunger as a Community Allison O'Toole is the CEO of Second Harvest Heartland, a Minneapolis-St. Paul based food bank that partners with organizations and volunteers to feed hungry people. Since joining the organization in 2019, she has made massive strides in providing healthy foods to more people, rescuing more food from waste, and helping her neighbors weather increasing financial pressures—something that is especially important amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of the Intentional Greatness podcast, Allison joins us to share her journey and talk about the work she is doing to fight the growing hunger epidemic in Minnesota. Stepping Up to the Plate 2020 has been Second Harvest Heartland's biggest year to date, and it has witnessed the largest surge in hunger since the Great Depression. This year, 1 in 8 Minnesotans are food-insecure, meaning they don't know where their next meal is going to come from. That is double what it was during the Great Recession ten years ago. But the Minneapolis-St. Paul community is stepping up to the plate and proving they can meet that need with the right resources available to them. Adapting to Change as a Leader Allison says that, as a leader, you can be more creative because you are constantly adapting to the ebb and flow of everything around you. This notion was present when Second Harvest had to make the transition to a new location and warehouse right at the beginning of the pandemic, and it will be present in the future as communities adjust to the new normal. Even when we put the effects of the global pandemic behind us, the impact of the economic recession will affect food-insecure families for another 8-10 years minimum. Staying focused, holding each other accountable, and finding creative solutions to provide food to those in need no matter what circumstances exist is a surefire way to make it through this.

Coming to you from the beautiful Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota, USA, rising up from the ashes of a community riven by chaos, it's this podcast about word geeks playing their word game! We have another contest in the can which we'll keep dosing out as long as it's possible to keep editing despite the steady barrage of rubber bullets coming from the MPD through our window. This is the beginning of the 49th Lammy Sand, a game named by Kai, and also begun by Kai with a very intriguing new word. We also talk about the problem of conveying sarcasm when texting. Some day people will be perusing podcast episodes undistracted by the pervasive sensation of living on a hot stove of senseless violence, but that's not the case on the day this description is being written.

Today we're going to talk through the history of Cray Computers. And really, this is then a history of supercomputers during Seymour Cray's life. If it's not obvious by his name, he was the founder of Cray. But before we go there, let's back up a bit and talk about some things that were classified for a long time. The post-World War II spending by the US government definitely leveled up the US computer industry. And defense was the name of the game in those early years.    Once upon a time, the computer science community referred to the Minneapolis/St Paul area as the Land of 10,000 Top Secret Projects. And a lot of things ended up coming out of that. One of the most important in the history of computing though, was Engineering Research Associates, or ERA. They built highly specialized computers. Those made for breaking Soviet codes.    Honeywell had been founded in Minneapolis and as with Vannevar Bush, had gone from thermostats to computers. Honeywell started pumping out the DATAmatic 1000 in 1957. There was a computer shipping and Honeywell was well situated to capitalize on the growing mainframe computer market.    ERA had some problems because the owners were embroiled in Washington politics and so they were acquired by Sperry Rand, today's Unisys, but at the time one of the larger mainframe developers and the progeny of both the Harvard Mark series and ENIAC series of mainframes. Only problem is that the Sperry Rand crew were making a bundle off Univacs and so didn't put money into forward looking projects.    The engineers knew that there were big changes coming in computing. And they wanted to be at the forefront. Who wouldn't. But with Sperry Rand barely keeping up with orders they couldn't focus on R&D the way many former ERA engineers wanted to. So many of the best and brightest minds from ERA founded Control Data Corporation, or CDC. And CDC built some serious computers that competed with everyone at the time. Because they had some seriously talented engineers. One, who had come over from ERA, was Seymour Cray. And he was a true visionary.    And so you had IBM and their seven biggest competitors, known as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Three of those dwarfs were doing a lot of R&D in Minneapolis (or at least the Minneapolis area). None are still based in the Twin Cities. But all three build ruggedized computers that could withstand nuclear blasts, corrosive elements, and anything you could throw at them.    But old Seymour. He wanted to do something great. Cray had a vision of building the fastest computer in the world. And as luck would have it, transistors were getting cheaper by the day. They had initially been designed to use germanium but Seymour Cray worked to repackage those at CDC to be silicon and was able to pack enough in to make the CDC 6600 the fastest computer in the world in 1964. They had leapfrogged the industry and went to market, selling the machines like hotcakes.    Now CDC would build one of the first real supercomputers in that 6600. And supercomputers are what Cray is known for today. But there's a little more drama to get from CDC to Cray and then honestly from Cray to the other Crays that Seymour founded. CDC went into a big of a buying tornado as well. As with the Univacs, they couldn't keep up with demand and so suddenly were focused too much on Development to look beyond fulfillment and shipping and into the Research part of R&D. Additionally shipping all those computers and competing with IBM was rough and CDC was having financial problems, so CEO William Norris wouldn't let them redesign the 6600 from the ground up.    But Cray saw massive parallel processing as the future, which is kinda' what supercomputing really is at the end of the day, and was bitten by that bug. He wanted to keep building the fastest computers in the world. And he would get his wish. He finally left CDC in 1972 and founded Cray Research along with cofounding engineer Lester Davis. They went to Chippewa Falls Wisconsin.   It took him four years, but Cray shipped the Cray-1 in 1976, which became the best selling supercomputer in history (which means they sold more than 80 and less than a hundred). It was 80MhZ, or 200 gigaFLOPS. And that was vector processing. They would math faster by re-arranging the memory and registers to more intelligently process big amounts of data. He used Maxwell's equations on his boards. He designed it all on paper. The first Cray-1 would ship to Los Alamos National Laboratory. The Cray-1 was 5 and a half tons, cost around $8 million dollars in 1976 money and the fact that they were the fastest computer in the world combined with the fact that they were space age looking gave Seymour Cray instant star status.    The Cray-1 would soon get competition from the ILLIAC IV out of the University of Illinois, an ARPA project. So Cray got to work thinkin'. He liked to dig when he thought, and he tried to dig a tunnel under his house. This kinda' sums up what I think of Wisconsin.    The Cray-2 would come in 1985, which was the first multiple CPU design by Cray. It came in at 1.9 Gigaflops. They rearranged memory to allow for more parallelization and used two sets of memory registers. It effectively set the stage for modern processing architectures in a lot of ways, offloading tasks for a dedicated foreground processor to main memory connected over the fastest channels possible to each CPU. But IBM wouldn't release the first real multi core processor until 2001. And we see this with supercomputers. The techniques used in them come downmarket over time.    But some of the biggest problems were how to keep the wires close together. The soldering of connecters at that level was nearly impossible. And the thing was hot. So they added, get this, liquid coolant, leading some people to call the Cray-2 “Bubbles.”   By now, Seymour Cray had let other people run the company and thee were competing projects like the Cray X-MP underway. Almost immediately after the release of the Cray-2 Seymour moved to working on the Cray-3 but the project was abandoned and again, Cray found himself wanting to just go do research without priorities shifting what he could do.    But Seymour always knew best. Again, he's from Wisconsin. So he left the company with his name and started another company, this one called Cray Computer, where he did manage to finish the Cray-3. But that Cold War war spending from the Cold War dried up. And while he thought of designs for a Cray-4, the company would go bankrupt in 1995. He was athletic and healthy, so in his 70s, why not keep at it?   His next company would focus on massively parallel processing, which would be the trend of the future, but Seymour Cray died from complications to a car accident in 1996.    He was one of the great pioneers of the computing industry. He set a standard that computers like IBM's Blue Gene then Summit or China's Sunway TahuLight or Dell's Frontera or Cray's HPE or Fujitsu's aBCI or Lenovo's SuperMUC-NG carry on. Those run at between 20 gigaflops to close to 150 gigaflops. Today, the Cray X1E pays homage to it's ancestor, the great Cray-1.    But no one does it with style the way the Cray-1 did - and think about this, Moore's Law says transistors will double every two years. Not to oversimplify things but that means that since the Cray-2 we should have had a 262 gigaflop machine by now. But I guess he's not here to break down the newer barriers like he did with the von Neumann bottleneck.    Also, think about this, those early supercomputers were funded by the departments that became the NSA. They even helped fund the development of Cray's throughout history. So maybe we have hit 262 and it's just classified. I swoon at that thought. But maybe it's just that this is where the move from bits to qubits and quantum computing becomes the next significant jump. Who knows?   But hey, thanks for joining me on this episode of the History of Computing Podcast. Do you have a story you want to tell? I plan to run more interviews soon and while we have a cast of innovators that we're talking to, we'd love even more weird and amazing humans. Hit us up if you want to! And in the meantime, thanks again for listening, we are so lucky to have you.

Scott Dolan started making Slight Headache comics in Iowa City in the summer of 1992 as a combination diaristic notetaking/money-making scheme. The small zines were quickly filled with images and text with the thought that any idea can be a seed for another idea, none too big, none too small. The original comics were sold at a few stores in town and traded widely through the mail with mail artists, zinesters and other collaborators and supporters. The comics were non-linear in layout, more a collection of briefly observed moments than a sequential story. Mostly, the images were light-hearted commentary on the events of the day, with special interest taken in language, customer service, alienation,  food, poetry, punk rock, loss, the ridiculous possibilities of being, and any other of the Big Ideas in art, such as may have arisen. In 2016, working with Circadian Press in Brooklyn, he released a “completely remastered” limited edition Slight Headache box set, a few sets of which are still available on his website. Alongside the comics grew a series of gouache and watercolor pictures, the "Kutch and Mancuso Drawings," which were loosely based on his own life experiences and stories heard from, and about, friends. Currently he has been working on a series of pencil portraits, gouache paintings of an unknown (to him) deceased artist’s pencils, and other tools of the trade, which were given to him by a friend of a friend. He was born in Minnesota, received his MFA from the University of Iowa and currently he lives, works and otherwise lingers in various parts of Brooklyn. He was a founding member of the legendary Speedboat Gallery in St. Paul, Minnesota. His work has been shown at Happy Lucky #1, Cellar Gallery, NYSG and Five Myles in New York City; Speedboat Gallery, CO Exhibitions and No Name Gallery in Minneapolis/St Paul; Lovey Town in Madison Wisconsin, and others. His work is in the permanent collections of the U.S. Library of Congress’s Monographs Section, the University of Iowa Special Collections, the University of Maryland, the University of Vermont, The Walker Art Center,  Carleton College, and the Franklin Furnace archives, among others.  The book mentioned in the interview is Greek to Me, by Mary Norris.

This week’s Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport. Joining the show is Jayne Haugen Olson, Editor in Chief at Mpls. St. Paul Magazine, on the strength of the Twin Cities and the airport that supports them, and the 20 Fortune 500 companies that call Minneapolis/St Paul home. She’ll also have a report on the explosion in the art and cultural scene. And she’ll explain the background to the creative impact of weather: that there are so many patents in Minnesota because people didn’t have anything else to do in the winter but be in their basement tinkering. Executive Director and CEO of the Metropolitan Airports Commission Brian Ryks, who details why MSP has been voted the number one airport in the country for three years in a row. James Lileks, from the Star Tribune, shares the airport’s history — it was a speedway that went bust, (but it was decided to build an airport there because the space already had relatively straight lines).  And MSP firefighter Natalie Forst, on why her team has the highest cardiac arrest save rate in the country. There’s all this and more as Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport.

Nathan and Ryan recorded this episode on a plane, flying home from Minneapolis-St Paul, where they were not able to meet up with junior producer Jack. They talk about the essential elements that make rom-coms work: scenarios that are amusing, interesting, engaging and surprising, or the three “i”s. They do script surgery on “Fever Pitch.” In Logline Cage Match, Ryan pitches his idea, “The Translator.”

Jay Walljasper (author of The Great Neighborhood Book) and Alexandra Connett (Minneapolis transplant) make a case for a city beyond cows, cold, and camp snoopy. Before moving to Minneapolis, Alexandra had no expectations for Minnesota, "Everyone was asking me why I was moving to the middle of nowhere." Since arriving, her experience has been much different than she had imagined.  Walljasper says Alexandra isn't a unique case and that this perception is partially Minnesotans fault. In the age of social media and the brand called you "it's time that MSP set aside its suburban sensibility and proudly say we are a city."  Music by Zack Baltich and intro music by Enjoy the Cat Click here to learn more about Jay Walljasper Interested in partnering with Deep North?

We're heading to the land of ten thousand lakes to uncover the Minneapolis St. Paul music scene of the 1990s. With names like The Replacements and Husker Du, the twin cities have been established as an 80s mecca for underground hardcore and punk rock, but the story of the city is much deeper and broader. In the 90s bands like Soul Asylum and Semisonic scored massive hits, while The Jayhawks, Low and the Dillinger Four expanded the sonic pallet. And of course, there's Prince. To help us understand the roots of the punk and hardcore scene, we invited author/writer/KFAI DJ Cindy “Cyn” Collins, who recently released Complicated Fun: The Birth of Minneapolis Punk and Indie Rock, 1974-1984 to talk the early years and bands like The Suicide Commandos and The Suburbs. Returning is Michelle Leon, former Babes In Toyland bassist and author of I Live Inside: Memoirs of a Babe In Toyland to give us insights on the various famous (and infamous venues) and more, along with record producer, engineer, singer-songwriter and touring musician Jamie Woolford of The Stereo, Animal Chin and Let Go to share memories of various record stores, local media and other important aspects of the Minneapolis St. Paul scene.

Still unpacking, but... If you’re a teacher, has (see incentive below). Really, seriously, the man’s a goldmine. If you're a spinner, check out , a DVD by Joan Ruane. She is a member of my old guild in Tucson and a wonderful teacher. Everyone loves her because she's incredibly loveable. I've not seen her DVD myself--I spent my time watching her in person--but the review in Spring 2011's Spin-Off is glowing. The Quayside sock book I designed for () is coming out July 1, 2011. I'm now working on a sweater for the same series... we'll see if this can be pulled off. It's going to be a doozy. In moving news (um, physically moving, not necessarily emotionally moving), If you’re in the Northern Virginia area, please don’t hesitate to . I’m going to need babysitters and the 411 on local yarn stores etc. Already found (and love) in Vienna, VA. LOVE that place! Am learning how to live on no income—or more accurately—to seriously live on seriously one income. I’m also loving Farmer’s Markets and local strawberries. And the color green. It's green here. If you want to see pics and stories of what happened (or didn't) on our trip, you can click on the "" link in the sidebar of the shownotes. And that Punk bar I mention? That's the . Must go if you're in Minneapolis/St Paul. Ask if the knitters are there (ha!). Don't forget, there are a few seats left for the . As fun as the relocation road trip was, Rhinebeck will be even more better. And, in fact, it looks like my husband and sons will be meeting us in Rhinebeck--along with Ehren Ziegler and many many friends. Not to be missed! I also have an apology. I realized I’ve been living under a rock. Not having a job meant never buying anything. Avoiding buying things—meant no stores, no shopping, and no magazines (those suckers get expensive). This means no data in. So my data out has been… um… limited. As I left on the trip I got a heartfelt Tweet and Rav message from a listener in Norway who had some—I thought—important criticisms of where the show has been going over the last eight months. I think writing the book, starting a business, teaching while being a temporarily single mom, and moving all really sucked it out of me. But the podcast sincerely is like home to me. I've missed podcasting, I miss hearing from y’all, and I miss the way things used to be, too. So, my promise to you is this: I will try to do better. So many new and exciting things are coming, but much of it will have to wait until the boys are back in school (because right now they’re in “Camp Mom” and there’s only so much of me to go around).
