Guest host Mitch Berg fills in for Brad Carlson for a two-hour show packed with sharp political commentary and cultural analysis.
Hour 1: Out with the cliché of the “Florida Man” headline and in with a new local twist—“Minnesota Woman.” Mitch explores recent Minnesota stories that highlight cultural contradictions, media framing, and the way narratives are shaped to influence public perception.
Hour 2: What’s in a word? The discussion turns to the term “fascist”—how it’s used in modern political rhetoric, who is really exhibiting authoritarian behavior, and why language matters in today’s political debate. The hour also takes on protest culture in Minnesota, political labeling, and the origins of the phrase “Minnesota Woman.”
A fast-moving episode that challenges conventional talking points and digs into how words, labels, and narratives are weaponized in politics.
