My podcast guest — Mayor Mark Janzter of Minot North Dakota
from Closest to the People with Crystal Froese · host Crystal Froese
Coming up New Podcast Series I’m excited to share my latest podcast guest — Mayor Mark Janzter of Minot North Dakota. We had a fascinating conversation about the surprising similarities between our two cities.Both began as railway towns on the prairies, are surrounded by strong agricultural regions, have active Air Force bases, and serve as regional hubs for rural communities.Of course, there are some differences too. As he reminded me, their Air Force base is home to two legs of the nuclear triad — something we don’t think about very often in Moose Jaw!Our conversation ran about 45 minutes, so I’m breaking it into short topic episodes throughout the week, including discussions on workforce, housing, and childcare.Across borders, the work Closest to the People looks surprisingly familiar.If you’re not following the podcast yet… this might be a great time to catch up.
