The DynamistThe Right to Repair w/ Kyle WiensMinnesota Governor Tim Walz has made headlines for being picked as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. One underreported aspect of his record is signing Minnesota’s first “right to repair” law last year.

KQED's ForumWhy Products Break More Than They Used To And What You Can Do About ItThe useful lifespan of items all over your home from clothes to kitchen gadgets to cell phones has been shrinking, according to a recent article in Vox. At the same time, manufacturers increasingly design products, especially tech devices and electronics, so that they are not easy or cost-effective to repair. “We buy, buy, buy, and we’ve been tricked — for far longer than the last decade — into believing that buying more stuff, new stuff is the way,” writes Izzie Ramirez of Vox. We’ll talk about the modern version of planned obsolescence and the “fix-it” movement that’s trying to combat it.2023-01-1355 minPark Community ChurchLive Loved | Love Living(9.04.22)Pastor Kyle Wiens unpacks Romans 8 to dive into Park Community Church's mission and vision as a body of believers.2022-09-1744 min
