John is joined by Jason Garcia for the first ever Ask Us Anything episode. We take calls from Melody (https://SouthwestVoices.news) regarding Lyndale Avenue safety improvements, and Christin regarding the US Supreme Court's intention to overturn abortion rights. John puts his foot down after superfan Conrad Z makes repeated calls into the show. We talk about the results of the state's investigation into MPD misconduct, the all important Hennepin Avenue reconstruction (which we think is coming up for a vote this month at the city council), the Ilhan vs. Don Samuels race, John invites people to visit him at the DFL's 5th district convention, the city's board and commission meetings going back underground after two years of livestreams, Jason's lifetime ban from twitter, the precarious position John finds himself in by presiding over a media organization almost entirely based on a platform purchased by Elon Musk, and how Tom Hoch has dropped unexpectedly back into our lives like a dead fish delivery from a bald eagle. Most importantly, John learns that "calls" into the riverside.fm podcasting platform must be made using a laptop or desktop computer, not a phone.
