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.

Erik Brandt, who wrote the music we use in the #StreetsMNPodcast, has a new album out, and one of the tracks is called _Bike Ride to Your Heart_.
It is exactly as cute as it sounds.

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.

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.

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.
