Good evening! Angela Davis here. If you haven’t heard, I’ll be hosting a new show on MPR News starting this coming Monday, Dec. 3 at 11 a.m. On the show, I’ll lead conversations that make sense of Minnesota news, issues, and how we live our lives. The show producers and I will also be interacting with listeners online. We’ve launched a Facebook group to be a place for discussion before, during and after the show (along with some behind the scenes photos and video!) I’ll also be featured in the MPR News PM Newsletter! Starting next week you’ll notice a new look and a new focus on local news and conversations. I look forward to hearing from you and telling your stories! -- Angela Davis
