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 to the American Experiment Podcast! This week, producer Isaac fills in for Grace alongside Kathryn as they cover the latest news.

    First, the “No Kings” protests took place this past weekend — but one key fact seemed to slip through the media coverage: the Communist Party USA was a sponsor of the event.

    Next, Minnesota’s teachers’ union is upping its PAC contributions to fund politics at the expense of teachers.

    After that, Bill Walsh joins us to Stop the Tape! Governor Walz sat down with KSTP to discuss his role in Minnesota’s rampant fraud, and we couldn’t resist breaking it down.

    Finally, Grace and Kathryn sit down with the newest hire at our friends over at UMLC, Rachel Paulose!

    Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!

    This week, Grace and Kathryn are joined by Bill to stop the tape on Governor Walz’s wildest conspiracy theories yet!

    First, Walz sits down with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (who just happens to be the Minnesota DFL’s biggest donor) as they swap WILD conspiracy theories about Trump.

    Then, Walz touts his solutions to Minnesota’s current high housing, energy, and childcare prices (yes, unironically)…and we celebrate Columbus Day!

    Finally, a very special guest joins Grace and Kathryn in studio: Speaker of the Minnesota House, Rep. Lisa Demuth. Speaker Demuth breaks down Walz’s mythical “special session” and what’s ahead in 2026.
