Jeff here, from "The Loop" at MPR. Guess what? We're going monthly starting in September. We'll to want to work closely with our growing Gather community as we go. (You can learn more about us from our other postings.) But more on that later....In the meantime, we thought we'd post a coupla segments from our last show, on immigration. Yeah, yeah -- "overdone topic, we've heard it all before." To us, them's fightin' words!
We wondered, what if that great icon of Minnesota culture, A Prairie Home Companion, were shaped by a the current wave of immigrants? The answer: A Prairie Home "Compadre!" (Note: This link is an MP3 audio file.)
And what if the current border patrol dispute hit a little closer to home? We go live on the scene of a late-night apprehension by the Mighty Minutemen Border Brigade. (Also an MP3 file.)
Want to hear more? The whole show is available on our web site. (Thanks to Teatro del Pueblo and Ferrari McSpeedy for collaborating on the above segments.)
So.....public radio + humor. Not always a winning combination, if experience is any guide. But whaddaya make of these, Gather-ites?
