Made In Minnesota

 Are the Twins turning into a sneaky contender?We caught up with Kris Atteberry to talk about a team that suddenly looks a whole lot more dangerous. The Twins have won 6 of their last 7 series, picked up their first series win in the Bronx since 2014, and Byron Buxton is finally looking healthy enough to scare people again.We also got into Luke Keaschall’s new life in right field, what the Twins might do at the trade deadline, and why this group is starting to feel like one nobody wants to see coming.Visit our podcast page: https://madeinminnesota.transistor.fm/ or download the Made in Minnesota app to listen anywhere, anytime.

How does someone become one of the best competitive eaters on the planet… and still stay in shape?We talked with Miki Sudo about how she got into the world of competitive eating, what “training” actually looks like when your sport involves eating more than seems humanly possible, and how she keeps herself healthy when the rest of us are winded after the appetizer.It’s fun, fascinating, and may make you rethink what counts as a workout.

Brian and Shannon visiting with Addison Helget about Turner Hall's 4th of July Celebration

Billionaire Kevin Trudeau joined us for a conversation that gets right into the stuff most people don’t want to look at: where your money is leaking, the mistakes that quietly keep you stuck, and how to start thinking differently about success.We talked about the common money traps people fall into, how to plug the leaks before they drain you, and what separates the way ultra-successful people think from the way most of us have been taught to think.It’s part money talk, part mindset shift, and definitely not your average “spend less on coffee” conversation.

Kris Atteberry joined us to talk Twins baseball, and we covered the fun stuff: winning ways, trade deadline dreams, and the possibility of Aroldis Chapman in a Twins uniform.Too much? Maybe. But also… dare to dream. Kris brings the insight, the baseball brain, and just enough hope to make you start refreshing trade rumors like it’s a full-time job.

Juneteenth is one of those days a lot of people recognize, but not everyone knows the full story behind it. Sarah Jackson helps us dig into that story: what happened in Texas on June 19, 1865, why the news of freedom came so late, how Black communities kept the celebration alive for generations, and why Juneteenth still carries so much weight today. Sarah’s work focuses on race, media, history, and the way stories shape how we understand America. This conversation is thoughtful, eye-opening, and a good reminder that history is never just “back then.” It’s still talking to us.
