About this listen

Why are so many Minnesota high school graduates unable to read or do math at grade level? Does Tim Walz actually think he's going to be the next president of the United States? And why does he keep swearing so much?

These are the kinds of hard-hitting questions we get into every week on the American Experiment Podcast, where we unpack the week's biggest stories, interview Minnesota's movers and shakers, and "stop the tape" on clips of our state's most ridiculous elected officials.

New episodes drop every Tuesday afternoon and are available on every major podcasting platform.

    Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…

    A Minneapolis legislator is pushing hard for a so-called “wealth tax,” which warrants a STOP THE TAPE with Bill Walsh. One of Keith Ellison’s campaign donors just pled guilty to fraud. And the Minneapolis City Council is devolving into catfights over gay bathhouses, legalizing drug paraphernalia, and other issues crucial to the city’s precarious future! On the back half, get an update from UMLC’s Rachel Paulose on the legal efforts to take down the monstrous 2024 omnibus bill (which included Paid Family Leave).
