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.

  • Could I-94 Be Better? Plus, “Extra Special Grandmother Energy”

    Could I-94 Be Better? Plus, “Extra Special Grandmother Energy”
    Mar 27 2026
    The Minnesota Department of Transportation is closing out public comment on its “Rethinking I-94” project, which aims to reconstruct 10 miles of the interstate. But MinnPost columnist and urban planning enthusiast Bill Lindeke believes not a lot is going to change. At least, not if the department is focused on car-centered traffic. We talk about how highways have changed people’s lives beyond how they get to work. Plus, former Minneapolis resident Nathan Yungerberg is bringing his play “Abuelita” to its world premiere at Capri Theater. It’s written in search of identity and chosen family, with something magical on the other side. Learn more about the topics discussed in today's episode: After a decade, it's clear MnDOT didn't 'rethink' Interstate 94 (MinnPost) ABUELITA by Nathan Yungerberg (Capri Theater) Learn more about the sponsors of this March 27th episode: Minneapolis Institute of Art Want to get in touch?

    Star Tribune columnist Eric Roper believes Minneapolis public schools are in a “doom loop.” What can be done to fix it? Plus, a friendly PSA about the No Kings Rally, whether you’re attending or not: it’s expected to be the biggest protest of its kind in the country, so travel accordingly.
