We’re in for a messy weather week — between snow, ice and rain. We'll have the latest from our meteorologist Sven Sundgaard.

And a lot of people are sick with RSV, flu and COVID-19. We'll talk with a doctor from Mayo who will answer your questions.

Jean Tretter was a lifelong advocate and historian for LGBTQ communities in Minnesota. He died last week. We find out how his legacy is living on.

And it's almost Kwanzaa time! There's a big celebration at North High in Minneapolis this week. We talk with one woman who decided to center her life around the celebration.

Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.
