American Experiment Podcast
Grace Keating, Kathryn Johnson, & Bill Walsh
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.
