This is Mike Mulcahy’s final week with Minnesota Public Radio. After a 38-year career in public media, Mulcahy is retiring.  

He has been at MPR News on and off — but mostly on — since 1985. Mulcahy has covered everything from a strike at the Hormel factory to Mikhail Gorbachev's one-day visit to Minnesota, from the unexpected death of former Minnesota governor Rudy Perpich to the Minnesota Twins winning the World Series.
