Last month the city of Minneapolis broke up one of the area's largest homeless camps. More than 100 people had been living in tents and other temporary structures at Camp Nenookaasi for months.The encampment is just one of many signs that an increasing number of people in Minnesota are living without stable shelter. People without housing are also riding Metro Transit buses and trains to find safety and warmth. They're sleeping in out-of-the-way corners of the skyways and living in their cars.  The reasons for the rise in unsheltered people are complex, and government and social services are struggling to respond. Last week, a faith-based organization in Ramsey County announced it would start putting up people in area churches to help house some of the families who are overwhelming Hennepin County's emergency shelter program.MPR News host Angela Davis talks about why we're seeing a rise in visible homelessness and possible solutions.Guests:  Monica Nilsson has operated street outreach, shelter and housing programs in the Twin Cities area for 30 years. She serves on the boards of Trellis, a housing developer and property manager of 5000 units throughout Minnesota, Mile in My Shoes, whose mission is collective transformation through running and reducing social isolation and Peace House.Sgt. Beverly Rodriguez oversees the Metro Transit Police Department's Homeless Action Team. She and three outreach officers patrol buses, trains and transit centers and connect people without shelter to emergency shelter, housing vouchers and other resources.  Milton Manning is a U.S. Navy veteran who once experienced homelessness.

Runners are gearing up for this weekend's Twin Cities Marathon.  Participants have been training for months. They've pushed through mental and physical barriers, they've hit their strides and they're chasing a “runner's high” to the finish line.  Getting to where you can run a marathon is no easy task, and getting started as a runner can be just as daunting as a 26.2-mile goal. But you don't have to go at it alone. Running groups and running communities around Minnesota aren't just helping people run a marathon — they specialize in helping people complete their first mile.  MPR News host Angela Davis talks with three runners about the joys and pains of running. You'll hear how to get started and how to join a running community. We'll also hear from a Twin Cities organization bringing people together through running teams.  Guests:  Mishka Vertin is the co-founder and executive director of Mile in My Shoes, an organization that connects runners throughout the Twin Cities with people experiencing homelessness, in recovery or in transition from incarnation or military service through running teams.  Andrea Haus is the community and marketing manager at Mill City Running in northeast Minneapolis and Saint City Running in St Paul. These two local running shops hosts group runs and other events throughout the Twin Cities. Jena Ziegler is a physical therapist and a board-certified lymphedema specialist at Park Nicollet Rehabilitation in Maple Grove, Minn. She's also an orthopedic clinical specialist.  Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.  Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

When people think of Joe South, they generally think first of Games People Play, one of the most successful protest-related songs of the late 1960s, with its distinctive electric sitar accompaniment, played by the singer and composer himself, and a bitingly prescient lyric directed at pseudo-hippy types who "while away the hours / In their ivory towers / Till they're covered up with flowers / In the back of a black limousine."South, who has died aged 72 of heart failure, won a Grammy for that million-seller and went on to write many other fine songs, including Walk a Mile in My Shoes, Down in the Boondocks, Hush and (I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden.A member, like Eddie Hinton, Dan Penn and Troy Seals, of a generation of US southern white boys who grew up listening to rhythm and blues, South was a fine guitarist who became a popular session man, performing on a series of important records, starting with Sheila, a hit in 1962 for Tommy Roe, a fellow native of Atlanta, Georgia. In 1966 he played bass guitar on much of Bob Dylan's album Blonde on Blonde, and the following year he created the shivering, menacing bottom-string guitar licks that opened and underpinned Aretha Franklin's classic Chain of Fools.It is South's playing that gives a clue to the spontaneity of the Blonde on Blonde sessions, which often lasted late into the night. The musicians were obliged to follow Dylan wherever his songs led, resulting in the occasional mistakes and missed changes – as when South fails to spot Dylan's chord shift in the second verse of Visions of Johanna, taking half a bar to adjust under the line about the nightwatchman clicking his flashlight.South was born Joseph Souter and was given a guitar by his father at the age of 11. He built a small radio station on which he played his own songs and had modified his name when, still in his teens, he had his first minor hit in 1958 with The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor, co-written with the Big Bopper (JP Richardson) to capitalise on current novelty hits. The following year Gene Vincent recorded two of his songs, I Might Have Known and Gone Gone Gone.He had made a successful career as a session musician in Muscle Shoals and Nashville when Games People Play brought him to international attention. Its title borrowed from a successful book on transactional analysis by the psychiatrist Eric Berne, the song took an unusual approach to the social tensions of the day, more oblique and unpredictable than other Dylan-influenced protest songs which topped the charts. But when it won a Grammy for best song of 1969, his problems began."The Grammy is a little like a crown," he told Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times. "After you win it, you feel like you have to defend it. In a sense, I froze. I found it hard to go back into the recording studio because I was afraid the next song wouldn't be perfect."None of South's subsequent records made the top 20, but Walk a Mile in My Shoes was recorded by Elvis Presley (and later by Bryan Ferry and Coldcut), Hush took the British progressive rock band Deep Purple into the top 5 in the US and Canada in 1968, and the lilting Rose Garden gave the country singer Lynn Anderson a worldwide hit in 1971. He also produced records by the singer Sandy Posey and the folk-rock duo Friend and Lover.

Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked! Today, we have a really special guest with us, Mr. Eric McCoy. Eric has a unique story to share with us, one that's bound to take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Eric spent most of his life around substance abuse, trying every drug he could get his hands on, with methamphetamine being his preferred choice. In 2001, he found himself facing 15 years in prison after his tenth arrest, four of which were within a six-month period. But, Eric was given a miracle sentence and that's when he decided to turn his life around. He became a substance abuse counselor in 2003 and has been working in the field ever since, as a counselor, program director, clinical director, and executive director. Today, Eric teaches at a school and has written a book titled "Pain, Failure, and Misery are the Stepping Stones to Success". He also hosts two podcasts, "High While Clean" and "Walk a Mile in My Shoes", where he shares his experiences and works to understand things that he doesn't really understand. And that's not all, Eric also hosts an online radio show called "Hot Topics" on Johnny Rock and Roll Radio. In this episode of Warriors Unmasked, Eric is going to take us on a journey through his life, starting from his childhood, where he never allowed himself to get close to people due to moving a lot, to his addiction to methamphetamine, to his miracle sentence that changed his life forever. Eric's story is sure to bring out a range of emotions in you, from heartbreak and sadness to empathy, education, and understanding. So, sit back, relax and join us as we listen to Eric's story and learn more about his journey to becoming the person he is today.

From Tupelo to Memphis, from Hollywood to Vegas, Elvis Presley conquered America–and now, telling his story, an Australian filmmaker has conquered the biopic. The operatic, maximalist, subtlety-eschewing Baz Luhrmann returns to the screen with Elvis, delivering the glitzy, excessive tribute this mythical/kitsch-ical icon deserves. Paul and Arlo share their personal connections to Elvis, rave about Austin Butler's transformation into the King, discuss how the film's portrayal of Elvis' racial and sexual impact stack up to the real deal, and behold Tom Hanks' embodiment of Satan.
