Imagining what alternate reality versions of the #StreetsMNPodcast would sound like was a super fun project, and I loved how much effort the team put into it. A good palette cleanser before we get back into more conventional pieces for the rest of the year!

I was very excited to get to interview Cory Doctorow @pluralistic about one of my favorite books of his, _The Lost Cause_! When we chose the book several months ago, we didn't realize how much of it was going to resonate with current events in Minnesota.

I'm always suspicious of public-private partnerships, so I was very curious to learn more about the Metro Transit deal that got everyone access to Royale in the Transit App. Turns out, there's way more to the partnership than that, Minnesota is improving the transit data landscape for everyone in the world. Really cool stuff on the #StreetsMNPodcast !

Working with teenagers, I have been pretty impressed with how aware many of them are of the importance of many urbanist topics. In this week's #StreetsMNPodcast episode, I interviewed three high schoolers who are active in transportation advocacy.

Everyone in the Twin Cities has access to premium features in the Transit app thanks to a partnership with Metro Transit and MnDOT.
What questions do you have for them?? The #StreetsMNPodcast will be interviewing reps from all three of them next week!

I was lucky enough to get to interview Scott Dibble and Frank Hornstein about their friendship and careers pushing to improve transportation at the state legislature! It was a great conversation with an important message for young activists out there.

Also, you may be surprised at what originally brought Scott to transportation advocacy! -
For our #StreetsMNPodcast episode about how potholes develop, I made a spreadsheet calculating the amount of damage that different vehicles do to the road. Turns out, someone has made a website for those comparisons.

Inspired by today's episode of the #StreetsMNPodcast, I've made my first edit to @openstreetmap ! A bakery I'll be visiting soon was missing its hours, so I added them. Easy peasy!
If you want to get tips and tricks on how to get started, give the episode a listen:

This is fun! The Star Tribune is helping us all grapple with the eternal question of what counts as Uptown by giving us a map where you can draw your boundaries. They'll publish an analysis after receiving enough entries.
Fun timing, since I gave my definition in the last #StreetsMNPodcast, and the next episode features a guest who has really strong opinions about it.[Article with context](https://www.startribune.com/nobody-can-agree-on-where-uptown-starts-and-ends-is-there-a-true-definition/601438317)

I was absolutely chuffed when my parents asked to stay at my apartment during my vacation so they could explore Minneapolis. They live in far-off Saint Paul!
So of course, we recorded a #StreetsMNPodcast about it!

Alright, I know a lot of you nerds enjoy @naomikritzer novels and short stories. A big part of the appeal is how well she incorporates a sense of place; and @sherryj999 of the #StreetsMNPodcast got to sit down with her to talk about her process!

It's surprising how often just asking for permission works out in media production. In this case, I asked the Minnesota Star Tribune if we could rebroadcast the first two episodes of Ghost of a Chance on the #StreetsMNPodcast and they said yes!

Alright everyone, with less than 24 hours left to provide feedback on Network Now, we've got a podcast episode diving into the details!

https://streets.mn/2024/11/15/the-nitty-gritty-of-network-now/It was pretty tough constraining the conversation to just Network Now, since it ties in to many many other efforts that are beyond the scope of the network restructure.

I have been neglecting to promote new #StreetsMNPodcast episodes as they come out! Here are the latest:
Tim Marino and I sat down to talk about the in-flux Purple Line project, and the Purple People Coalition working to make it an awesome project.
https://streets.mn/2024/10/01/purple-people-organizing-for-better-transit/The state authorized Anoka to run a pilot program of an open container "social district."

I'm super happy to be living in the donut hole, with the nearest major healthcare facility about a kilometre away (1/2 mile in the Liberian measuring system).
According to my current city councillor, the city has very effectively slowed down sprawl over the last 4 years.
