If you’re a fan of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” or just a tasty drink enjoyer, we’ll give you the deets on where to find a dirty soda. Tensions between the US and Canada spill over into a bike race in Grand Marais, and a couple of local $10 cereal brands are flying off the shelves. Plus, an amphitheater near St. Cloud worth checking out for summertime jams. 

 

Read more about dirty sodas, cereal upstarts, a dip in Canadian tourism and the Ledge Amphitheater.

 

This week our guests are taste editor Nicole Hvidsten, business reporter Brooks Johnson, Duluth reporter Christa Lawler and music critic Jon Bream.
