Who Gets a Permit To Pollute? Plus, 10 Years of Frogtown Radio and Adrian Younge's Favorite TC Records

from City Cast Twin Cities · host City Cast

An iron foundry in St. Paul and a shingle factory in Minneapolis are both under scrutiny for polluting their once-redlined neighborhoods. Sahan Journal environmental justice reporter Andrew Hazzard joins the show to share why these facilities ended up in such densely populated areas, and a new law that aims to prevent further pollution of our neighborhoods. Later, Frogtown Community Radio station co-director Katey DeCelle and Frogtown Tuned In president Phillip Gracia join to talk about WFNU hitting 10 years on the air and their upcoming ⁠celebration⁠ on Saturday Aug. 1. Composer and producer Adrian Younge of ⁠Jazz is Dead⁠ also joins the show to run down his top five Twin Cities records of all time ahead of his ⁠Big Show at Indeed Brewing⁠, which is also on Saturday.
