The city of New Richland is cleaning up after heavy rain damaged an estimated three-quarters of homes in the small southern Minnesota town. We'll talk to the city administrator about how they're responding and preparing for future floods.

The Lindsay Clancy trial in Massachusetts set off a nationwide conversation about postpartum mental illness. A doctor will join the program to talk about signs and treatment. We’ll also hear from a Minnesota mother whose symptoms led to tragedy more than 20 years ago.

The driverless taxi company Waymo is testing in Minneapolis, but the city council is considering a rule that would require monitors behind the wheel.

We'll meet a playwright who is workshopping a new musical in St. Cloud.

Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Eureka Rd.” by Raymnd and our Song of the Day was "Home" by Clay Fulton and the Lost Forty.
