Election Races to Watch, Twin Cities' Best Weekly Live Music, and In the Dark’s Journey
Today, we get into Minnesota's Attorney General race with contributor Tane Danger, break down the judicial candidates nobody's talking about, and ask whether gas prices could actually swing the election. Contributor and musician PaviElle French and host Sean share their top five weekly live music events in the Twin Cities — the kind of low-key, high-reward spots where you become a regular. Then, Natalie Jablonski and Madeleine Baran of the acclaimed podcast In the Dark join to talk about "The Journey," the new season hosted by New Yorker staff writer Ava Kofman.
